Drag Me To Hell (2009)

Corrected entry: Rham attempts to give CPR to Shaun San Dena after the encounter with the Lamia. He uses completely wrong hand positioning, would more likely break her collarbone than stimulate her heart, and does the CPR for all of about 10 seconds, which would be useless. There's evidence his character was trained in CPR, as he listens for breath and watches for chest rising properly, so it is not likely he was just making it up as he went along. A person trained in CPR would at least put their hands in the right place. He was not just a couple of inches off, but not even close to where the hands should be placed. Also, CPR must be done continuously until medical aid arrives, not for 10 seconds.

Correction: I have no CPR training, but I would know to watch for breathing. However I would probably put my hands in the wrong place too!

Zombieland (2009)

Corrected entry: The electricity seems to be working in many of the places shown in the movie, despite the fact that two months have passed since Z day. For example, in the first scene the lights in the gas station car park are all blazing. Surely by this point the grid would have stopped working and any emergency generators would have run out of fuel.

Correction: Many power stations are unmanned and would continue to produce electricity past two months.

Correction: They (poorly) explain this in the second movie. "As long as it keeps raining, the dams keep giving us power." It's also a comedic zombie movie, and they make fun of how dumb people try to survive zombie movies.

Call of the Yeti - S2-E1

Corrected entry: Vince receives a copy of Cheekbone Magazine from a Ninja because it goes out of date every three hours. However, when he receives his next delivery later in the episode, when they're preparing to rescue Howard, the Ninja gives him the same copy as before.

Correction: Maybe the content changed but the cover is the same.

The Mighty Boosh (2004)

Hitcher - S1-E9

Corrected entry: When Vince is talking to Brain in the forest, Brian pushes the tree over and as Vince says, "Anyway, look Brian," the tree falls down slightly again. Vince must have thought that part would have been cut because he says, "Anyway, look Brian" again. (00:15:00)

Correction: There's no continuity reason why he couldn't have just said the line twice.

Resident Evil 4

Corrected entry: Throughout the game, the Los Illuminados attempt to abduct Ashley from Leon, since she is the key to their plan, but in certain areas they'll actually attempt to kill her. This is most noticeable where there are chainsaw maniacs, the giant drilling machine trap or the armaduras that Ashley encounters while trying to reach Leon.

Correction: They have no doubt been instructed to capture her alive, but most of them are hardly coherent enough to obey commands.

Transformers (2007)

Corrected entry: Bumblebee's yellow exterior is extremely dirty when he is transformed, but not when he is in the car form.

Correction: We've seen Bumblebee change the entire exterior of his car to another model so we're aware he can make the car look how he wants. Maybe the car he copied was clean and he has no reason to change it.

Transformers (2007)

Corrected entry: When the F-22 Raptors attack the transformers on the ground, if you look closely, the missiles are AIM-120 AMRAAMs used strictly for Air-to-Air engagements.

Correction: Actually AMRAAM missiles are homing missiles, they contain a guidance system that locks on to what the crew is targeting. The only reason they're not fired at ground targets is because there usually isn't anything to lock onto. However, maybe the military are aware that the missiles could lock onto something big, metal and electronic like a transformer.

Corrected entry: McClane's daughter is caught in the lift of a high rise when the power turns off. When she is rescued she is - minutes later - at the main computer facility outside of Baltimore. How did she get there so fast? She lived in Jersey close to NYC.

Jacob La Cour

Correction: The film doesn't at any point say that Lucy was in her home town, she could easily have happened to be near by, or near enough for her to be flown quickly by helicopter.

The goon who got her out of the elevator said he was with the FBI Jersey office.
