Scream 2 (1997)

Corrected entry: If you look in the background a little bit before Randy gets pulled into the van and killed, while he's on the phone you can see cop cars all around blocking the set. (01:02:30)

Correction: This isn't a mistake. The cop cars were already there in all previous scenes of the surrounding, because of the murders that have been going on again.

The Mask (1994)

Corrected entry: At the Coco Bongo, when The Mask is dancing with Tina, his hat is seen in some shots, not in others. (00:38:30)

Correction: He only wears the hat in the beginning of the dance. Then it it cuts to the crowd dancing for about 2 seconds and back to The Mask. In that time he could easily have thrown it away. And he's some sort of cartoon so he can let things appear and disappear like the mallet and guns.

Dragon

Corrected entry: Tommy and Archie shoot the helicopter in the tail rotor thus making it lose control and crash. A helicopter without a tail rotor spins out of control due to the torque effect, so if the main rotor spins clockwise, the body of the helicopter should spin counter-clockwise, because of Newton's Third Law. Yet when the helicopter collapses, just as it's about to hit the ground, both the rotor and the body were spinning in the same direction. (01:25:50)

Correction: The helicopter is shot on the right side. Because of the explosion the rear is being pushed, which leads into spinning clockwise.

Corrected entry: Towards the end, Tommy loads the 90mm cannon in the tank to shoot down the helicopter that Ling is holding on to. Tommy "loads" the cannon by loading in a shell. However, he does not secure it by sealing the door that closes off the cannon. If Archie shot the round like that, it probably would have killed Tommy and Archie and destroyed the tank. (01:25:30)

Correction: You only see him put the bullet in and the next shot is Jet Li hanging on the heli. In the meantime, Archie could have told Tommy to close it.

The Core (2003)

Corrected entry: In the EM tear scene, our first shot is a beam coming from the sun onto the earth's surface, and, as anyone can easily see, it is fairly wide. But, after that, when we see a tree dying, it first has an affection area of about 15 feet. 15 feet is invisible from space. (01:26:20)

Correction: When we see an outer space shot of the beam, you can see the beam getting through the atmosphere. So it's natural that the beam on the earth's surface has to grow too as soon as the hole in the atmosphere is big enough.

The Core (2003)

Corrected entry: When the Golden Gate Bridge is being destroyed by microwaves, we see a guy get 'sunburnt'. When he's looking at the sunburn, you can see that no one is in the car next to him. You may only be able to see it, if you're using the widescreen version. (01:26:55)

Correction: From the camera's point of view, you can only see the passenger's seat. So there's no way to tell if someone is in the driver's seat.

The One (2001)

Corrected entry: When Yulaw kills Lawless, and he comes out of the ventilation shaft, he picks up the cop he shoots to use him as a human shield; you can see the bullets hitting the cop's body but if you look closely at the empty space around the cop, the bullets seem to be hitting something that is not there. (00:05:30)

Correction: When you look closely, you can see bullet holes appear on the door and wall behind Li.

Dragon

Corrected entry: In Freeze's opening heist when Batman throws a grenade through the wall, it leaves a regular hole. After the shot changes back to Batman coming through the hole, it's in the shape of a bat instead of the regular hole.

Correction: I don't think Batman throws a grenade. It's Robin who crashes through the door leaving a hole shaped like him on a bike. After that, all the shots from the door show a bat shaped hole.

The One (2001)

Corrected entry: When the redhead helps the evil Jet Li escape from prison he uses a strap to wrap around a guard's wrist to get a gun. He swings the guard around and shoots him and you see the guard falling on his back. When Jet walks by him in the very next scene, the guard is now on his stomach and facing the opposite way. (00:17:05)

MCKD

Correction: You can clearly see him falling face down after being shot. The guys that's facinc the opposite way was the guy standing against the wall behind the falling guy.

Independence Day (1996)

Corrected entry: When David and Steven break the Earth's atmosphere, there is no sign of the mother ship despite heading straight towards it in the next shot. (01:57:30)

Correction: After the shot when you see all the stars and no mothership, and you get an outside shot of the little ship, you can see they turn to the left.
