Corrected entry: When RoboCop is hanging on to Cain's truck, he is to the right of Cain, yet when the camera angle changes he is right in front of Cain. When Cain looks and smiles at RoboCop, just before swinging the van, he looks to his right even though RoboCop is supposed to be right in front of him now. (01:01:29)

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When Robocop removes the wire from his helmet, before he electrocutes himself, his right hand comes clean off his arm.
Correction: There is no scene like this. Before he electrocutes himself, he pulls the cable cord out of his helmet with his left hand, but nothing happens to his right hand. And the left hand never comes clean off his arm, but we do see his normal articulation.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is in the lab he pulls out a cord from his helmet. As he does so, the helmet moves quite significantly to the left, (his right). I thought it was supposed to be fixed on with bolts?
Correction: It does move slightly. However, we've seen RoboCop without his helmet on, so we know it can be moved. It's possible it wasn't fully secured and only placed on to hook up to the computer.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: An arcade game is knocked over, then just seconds later it is standing again.
Correction: This is incorrect. We do see the game "Midnight Resistance" get knocked over. However the "Midnight Resistance" we see standing later is not the same one. The first one was next to the claw game and this is next to "Sly Spy".

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: At the start of the film, RoboCop gets out of his car and shoots the guys who are robbing the gun store, and only one survives. When RoboCop goes to interrogate him, watch the bottom of the screen closely, Robo stands on the guys foot. A few moments later when Robo is lifting the guy up in the air, Robo has to stand back a bit, so he can get off the guy's foot and let him rise up.

The Walking Dead (2010)
Corrected entry: Michonne has dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are usually fake. They are attached to the scalp. They would have fallen out by now. If they were real, she would have to have taken them down by now.
Correction: There's no reason to think her character's deadlocks are fake (as in hair extensions). And most dreadlocks are natural, although a variety of ways can be used to create them.
28th Jul 2004
Smallville (2001)
Corrected entry: At the beginning, Lucas holds another man in front of him to stop a hail of bullets. A human body won't stop most gunfire, certainly not from the submachine guns the thugs were using. (00:02:25)
Correction: The fact that bullets have been lodged in the body of gunshot victims in real life goes to show this is not a mistake. Given also that bullets going through a human body would be deflected or slowed to the point it won't penetrate another body further prove this is not a mistake. The character just got lucky, but it's not improbable.

Uncle Buck (1989)
Corrected entry: When Buck is making the huge pancake and he is sliding the snow shovel under the pancake to flip it the shovel is only one-third the size of the pancake. As he is actually flipping the pancake the shovel is almost the same size as the pancake.
Correction: The shovel is never 1/3rd the size, nor is the pancake ever the same size. The size of the pancake remains constant.
8th Mar 2004
Teen Wolf (1985)
Corrected entry: During the championship game, one of the final shots shows Scott's dad coming out of the crowd to congratulate him. There is a fan behind him who stands up to cheer and deliberately exposes her underwear to the camera. (01:25:15)
Correction: This isn't a mistake and there's no deliberate exposure of the underwear. It's not uncommon for some people in tight jeans to undo the buttons when sitting. As she stood up, she was just rebuttoning her jeans.
23rd Nov 2008
Uncle Buck (1989)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the scene where Uncle Buck takes the kids bowling, there is a short clip in which three men wearing red bowling shirts are simultaneously drinking bottles of beer. If you watch the man on the right, he covers the opening with his thumb as he tips the bottle up to his mouth.
Correction: He doesn't actually cover up the opening, it's just his weird way of taking a drink where he puts his thumb up against his lip, but under the bottleneck.
24th Dec 2012
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Corrected entry: Near the end, there's a huge parade in downtown Chicago being held in the middle of a school/work week with no explanation about why it is in progress when parades are typically held on the weekend. Despite that, hundreds of people, who would normally be working, are there watching it with their kids who, like Ferris and his fellow truant pals, should be in school.
Correction: First off, it's made very clear it's the Steuben Parade (a very popular German-American parade held in Chicago in September). While there is no "explanation" in the movie, parades are held in the middle of the week for various reasons, such as bad weather on the scheduled day, etc.
The Steuben Day Parade is held on a weekend day in September, not in the Spring shortly before high school graduation. In most cities, it is the third Saturday of September. It is inconceivable that if a parade of that size and duration was unexpectedly cancelled for any reason that it would just be moved over to the middle of the week. The logistics are such that it would either be cancelled or rescheduled for another weekend which would take months to arrange due to the tremendous time, planning, and physical work involved to establish staging areas, issue new permits, transport the floats, reschedule marching bands, drill teams, and other participants, set-up food and souvenirs vendors, close streets, reroute traffic, handle crowd control, arrange security, do promotion, etc.
This correction was done in my infancy of joining the website. I was trying to correct the mistake of what the parade was for (but did acknowledge it's a September parade) rather than accept the Steuben parade was out of place and wouldn't have been scheduled for the following year if the film was meant to be set 1-2 months before graduation.

Quantum of Solace (2008)
Corrected entry: During the car chase down the narrow street in the stone pit, the police truck chasing Bond drives into a house and completely destroys it. In the next shot the car falls off the edge of the street, but it's front is completely untouched. After completely destroying a house, it should at least have some dents and scratches.
Correction: This is simply not true, the car is damaged after hitting the structure. The most obvious part is the grill has been torn off.
9th Jul 2014
The X-Files (1993)
Corrected entry: When running, Lucas Henry grabs his left arm instead of the right one in which he was shot. (00:38:15)
Correction: This is not true. He never grabs his left arm and always grabs or favors his right arm.
1st Feb 2014
Casino Royale (2006)
Corrected entry: During the first big poker game between Bond and Le Chiffre they are playing Texas Hold 'Em. Bond and Le Chiffre are the only players left in the game. During the final betting interval, Bond "calls" Le Chiffre, meaning he matches his bet. The dealer says to Le Chiffre, "Monsieur, you have been called. Showdown, please." Le Chiffre displays his cards, revealing a full house. Bond puts his cards face-down and says "Fold." You may not fold during a showdown. A player may not throw away his hand without showing it merely because a previous player has announced a higher-ranking hand; every player who is 'in on the call' must expose his full hand face up on the table in the showdown. You can only fold during the betting interval when it's your turn to bet.
Correction: This is simply not true. The rules allow a player to "muck" his or her hand at anytime, even after calling. If a player wants to muck his hand, he can announce he folds, as Bond did. Rules do allow for a player to see the mucked hand of someone involved in a showdown, but Le Chiffre did not ask. There was no Texas Hold 'Em rule violation and no mistake.
5th Feb 2005
The X-Files (1993)
Corrected entry: When we first see Scully, going into the office at The Beginning of the episode, we see when she is on her way to the office and when she enters it she is wearing her badge, yet when the shot changes, it is no longer on her, then when she comes out she is wearing it again. (00:02:20 - 00:04:35)
Correction: That's because she is never "wearing" her ID badge. It is clipped to the strap of her purse, not her jacket. You can see this in several shots and you see the badge move with the strap as opposed to moving with the jacket. When she removes the purse the badge comes off too.

Under the Dome (2013)
Corrected entry: When the dome first comes down a cow is split in half. If you look at the split side of the cow which is outside the dome, the entire cow is just a piece of red meat. There are no entrails or organs showing.
Correction: It's not just red meat and there are entrails and organs. However, the Dome cut all the blood vessels, so everything is covered in blood, giving it the complete red look.
16th Jul 2014
Under the Dome (2013)
Corrected entry: When Barbie, the girl cop, Big Jim and Junior are by the dome wall, all their gear and the cars fly off and hit the dome wall due to magnetism. Barbie and Big Jim both have on belts and watches that remain unaffected by the dome's magnetism, despite the fact that the handcuffs that were also around Barbie's wrists dragged him towards the dome wall.
Correction: Not all metals are magnetic. Therefore, if the watches or belt buckles weren't affected it's simply because they weren't magnetic.
28th Jan 2005
King of the Hill (1997)
Escape from Party Island - S3-E17
Corrected entry: Whilst Bobby is sitting on the bench at the baseball game you can see his shirt is yellow. When Bill is having his little temper tantrum, a shot of the field shows the pitcher is wearing a green shirt. Some of the other players were wearing blue. I doubt there were more than 2 teams or more than two different uniforms.
Correction: The pitcher is wearing a blue shirt just like his teammates, not green. The shot of the field there are only 2 team colors seen, yellow and blue.

Chappelle's Show (2003)
Corrected entry: After Wayne Brady kills the policeman, you can see inside Brady's car the lights on the police car behind are white and red. However in the wide shot of the car when Brady is pulling away the lights on the police car are all red.
Correction: This is not correct. The color of the lights never change and the cop car never changes. In the first shot, the beam of light hits directly into the camera, minimizing the tint, but when the camera angle changes, the amount of direct light changes, so the tint is more prominent.
2nd Jun 2005
Chappelle's Show (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Wayne Brady kills the policeman and gets back in the car you can see the police car through the back window to the right. When it shows a wide shot of the car pulling away the police car is now to the left of Brady's car.
Correction: The cop car never moves in the scene, it is the camera angles that change. In the first shot, the camera is focused straight on Wayne Brady, whereas the second shot, the camera angle is now to the far left making it look like the cop car changed position, but it is in the same spot.

Correction: When the camera angle changes, RoboCop is not directly in front of Cain as of yet, which is why you can see Cain over RoboCop's right shoulder. Cain's 2nd glance at RoboCop before swinging the van, while still to the right, is less to the right than his 1st glance; suggesting RoboCop is moving over (which we see happen in the film).
