Corrected entry: In Korben's apartment, the General holds up the folded list to read to Dallas. The official seal is on the left of the paper, in the camera's view. When the angle changes, the seal is on right until the list is unfolded and turned around.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: After the doctor's have recreated Leeloo and puts the thermal bandages on her, the first one is laid over her breast, in the next scene as she is woken up 2 more bandages have appeared, one is going vertically centered with her body and ends at the second newly appearing bandage around her neck. The vertically bandage is also laying above the other bandages except the one around the neck, which its nicely sewn in under.

Misery (1990)
Corrected entry: When Annie leaves Paul's room at one point, she doesn't lock the door. She walks out and walks away, yet when Paul decides to leave the room he has to unlock it with a bobby pin.
Correction: You can hear the distinct sound of the door being locked, thus the need to unlock it with the bobby pin.

Misery (1990)
Corrected entry: When Annie Wilkes returns with the typewriter for Paul, she says that the letter 'N' is missing. However, the button is there during the writing montage.
Correction: The "N" key is there the whole time, but that's not what Annie is referring to. It's the "n" on the typebar that is missing (the part that strikes the paper). Thus whenever he hits the "N" key, the typewriter responds to a keystroke and moves one space, however since there's no "n" a space is seen (i.e. "a d" instead of "and").

Misery (1990)
Corrected entry: When Paul adventures throughout the house (and when Buster, the Sheriff, visits), the house looks very large as they travel within it (the large bedrooms, large upstairs, large dining room, etc.). However, when they show the outside of the house there is no possible way that all of those rooms and that space can fit into that tiny mountain home that they show the outside of.
Correction: This is just wrong. There's nothing wrong with the dimensions of the house, in fact in the wide shots, you can see the windows for each room. The outside is certainly big enough, unless you're looking at some of the other smaller buildings around the main house.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Rock Bottom" when Spongebob gets to the kelp bar and whenever he puts his hand in the bus vrooms, but watch when he runs over to catch the bus, he runs right through it.
Correction: That's not what happens. It might look like it, but it's clear that as he approaches the bus, the bus takes off and then we see Spongebob finish crossing the road once the bus is gone.
15th Mar 2004
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Rock Bottom" when it shows SpongeBob with a glove on his nose, he looks out the window. In the next two scenes, it shows him again, but this time the little glove is gone.
Correction: The glove on his nose is gone when he pulls his head back into the bus, reasonable to think he lost it while his head was out the window, because it's not as if it reappears later.

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)
Corrected entry: When the boy gives Harry and Lloyd the slushies, the cherry slushy has no straw in it. In the next shot it has one.
Correction: This is wrong, when the boy comes out of the store with the slushees, you can see straws in both of them.
15th Jan 2004
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)
Corrected entry: When Lloyd is getting ready for school he is dancing in the halls, showering in the science class, goofing off in the cafeteria and looting the lost and found for clothes. There is no one in the school. You can see light outside and he runs off to hurry up and catch his bus. Don't you think teachers/staff would already be in the building?
Correction: This is an assumption and not an error. In the beginning Lloyd's dad says "school's gonna open up soon" and we don't know how long he spent goofing off, so the school still could have been closed. Additionally, just because we don't see anyone doesn't mean they're not there. It's possible they're all aware of Lloyd and just let him be.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
You Wish ('Shanghaied') / Gary Takes A Bath - S2-E11
Corrected entry: In the beginning when SpongeBob pours the Kelpo cereal he pours it over his glass of orange juice, plate of toast, and his bowl. When he brushes the cereal away the plate, the glass, and the bowl all disappear.
Correction: That was the point of the scene, that, along with the cereal, he swept the dishes away. In fact, in one shot you can see the cereal bowl being flung away.
28th Oct 2003
Dexter's Laboratory (1996)
Corrected entry: Why was it raining quarters? They suddenly appeared with no logical explanation.
Correction: It's meant as a joke (and it wasn't raining quarters so much as quarters falling on him). The joke is, he spent so much time trying to get money he missed the ice cream truck and now when he's trying to get a drop of melting ice cream, money falls on him; but it's too late for it to do him any good.

Star Trek (1966)
Who Mourns for Adonais? - S2-E2
Corrected entry: Spock says they've only managed to punch holes in the force field large enough to fire through. But when the Enterprise fires, the force field (in the shape of Apollo's hand) is no longer there at all. (00:44:30)
Correction: When the Enterprise fires on the temple, the force field IS visible. However, as they continue to fire and damage the power source, the force field starts to fade and flicker in and out, until it is gone.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
Corrected entry: They named the brothers based on alphabetical bible characters, but, not having an "F" name, they improvised with "Frank"incense... But there are enough F names in the bible, Felix, Flint, and even more if you count "Ph" names like Phillip and Philemon.
Correction: First off, they only used names from the Old Testament. Second, they obviously don't count "Ph" names since those start with a "P". "Felix" only appears in the New Testament and "flint" does not appear as a proper name, but just the hard rock. There are in fact, no men in the Old Testament with a proper name starting with "F".

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: The room where Cap and Widow are talking to Zola is several floors below ground, yet when Cap pushes the debris off them after the missile attack, they're outside on ground level again - he looks across the road to see cars approaching. (00:58:40 - 01:04:25)
Correction: Two things wrong, they aren't at ground level and there's no "looking across a road" and certainly no cars. When Captain America gets up, he climbs up some debris, and he's still well below the agents who would be at ground level. The lights he sees are Shield planes in the sky flying above him.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: When Bucky tries to kill Fury on the street, the sun changes between shots.
Correction: This is just wrong. The sun doesn't change position, which is obvious by looking at the shadows objects cast and the shadows don't change directions in any shot. Of course, many of the shots we are shown are looking out a tinted window, smoke filled, or between buildings where the building shadow covers the street, which affect the amount of sunlight we see where other shots have more direct sunlight.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: When Steve and Natasha get to the military camp it's still daylight, but when they get inside suddenly it's night time.
Correction: When they're inside the base, it's hardly "night time", although it is darker, it's meant to show passage of time. We don't know how much time they spent at the gate or in the base trying to find where the signal came from. In fact, the next scene after being at the gate in daylight is Natasha saying it's a dead end, implying they've been searching the base.
8th Oct 2005
Batman Begins (2005)
Corrected entry: When Batman is chased by the cops while he is trying to save Rachel, he reaches the roof of a parking lot and stops. A cop orders him to switch off the engine of his vehicle and get out. Later when Batman is chased inside a tunnel, we see a cop asking on his radio what the Batmobile looks like. The Batmobile then zooms past him and he says "never mind". The only problem is that it's the same cop both times, so he knew full well what the Batmobile looks like when it stopped in front of him initially. Probably caused by the order of those sequences being switched in editing, but still a mistake. (01:34:00 - 01:35:25)
Correction: It's not the same guy in both scenes. The cop on the roof is Ronan Leahy and the cop in the car asking for a description is Matt Miller.
It's the same guy, Matt Miller. Likely an editing error.

Batman Begins (2005)
Corrected entry: During the training exercise on the ice, just after Ducard says that the parents' deaths were Dr. Wayne's fault, Bruce gets up and launches after Ducard in anger. In the shot from the front, he doesn't wear any scarf. The next shot from his back reveals that he is wearing a red/gray scarf over his jacket. (00:19:15)
Correction: Throughout the whole fight he's wearing the scarf and you can see it in several shots before this. However, he's vigorously moving and fighting, so in some shots his jacket moves enough to expose the scarf and others it covers it up.
10th Feb 2003
The Faculty (1998)
Corrected entry: When Stan is taking a shower, Mrs. Brummel comes in. When Stan hugs her, the right side of her scalp comes off. Then in a later scene, Delilah and Casey are hiding in the closet of the faculty lounge. They find the body of Mrs. Brummel and she falls to the floor. But now the left side of her scalp is missing.
Correction: This isn't correct. When the body falls in the closet, it's a lot more decayed and missing more hair. We still see the right side of the scalp missing like it was in the shower, she also happened to lose the left side of her scalp (off camera) as well. But no mistake.
28th Aug 2014
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: In the opening shot, where Sam is shown jogging and Steve overtakes him, visible in the background is the Washington Monument. A couple of scenes later, after the scene on the boat, a shot is shown showing The Triskelion for the first time. Just as this shot begins, we can see The Washington Monument in the far background and The Triskelion and Washington Monument are both facing each other in a direction that is around a 12 o'clock direction. If the two buildings were facing each other that way, then The Triskelion should have been visible in the background of the opening shot. (00:00:40 - 00:13:00)
Correction: The Triskelion is located west of the Washington Monument and across the Potomac. However, the opening scenes show the monument in an eastern direction where the building would be behind the camera, or at least to the west and off screen.

Correction: There are two seals on both sides of the documents. When Major Iceborg hands the document to General Munro, we see the seal on the left and it's on the "top" side. When General Munro starts to open or unfold the document, we see a seal on the "bottom" side (which appears to be on his right, but if he turns the document over it would be his left).
