Toy Story (1995)

Corrected entry: Just before Sid blows up the Combat Carl figure, he throws a cement block at the figure, just missing it. Then we see him lighting the explosive on Carl and then he blows up. When we cut back to a wide shot of Sid's garden, the block has been moved to the other side of the garden, nowhere near where it landed before Sid lit the explosive.

Padzter

Correction: The block is already gone when he lights the firecracker. Between throwing the concrete and lighting the firecracker, Sid had plenty of time to move the concrete block to where we see it later.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: You've obviously never been to an English public school.

Correction: It has been established that whenever a picture is being used as a form of time travel, real time will always pass within in the photo. For example, the crew use a photo from when Lister was in Smeg and the Heads, which would have been a single photo taken whilst the band is performing, but time passes when the photo is being displayed as shown by the band performing before they go inside the photo. The likely answer to this is that Rimmer acquired a photo of his bed from boarding school that was probably taken during the day and then waited several hours until night time to inside the photo.

Casual Person

Corrected entry: At the start of the film, Stan shows all his friends and his mother the newspaper cutting of the Terrence & Phillip movie poster. Watch it carefully, the picture is different every time we see it. (00:01:25)

Padzter

Correction: The picture remains the same each time he shows his friends. The first time we see it, when he's asking his mom for money, the clipping is never held up close, so it's drawn a bit jumbled up so it isn't clear (just like how a real newspaper clipping would be hard to read from a distance).

Bishop73

Corrected entry: At the USO Show, Kyle asks Cartman a question. But for some strange reason, it's Stan's mouth that moves. (01:01:10)

Padzter

Correction: If you're referring to Kyle asking "Did you shut the alarm off", Kyle's mouth is the one that moves. Just before that, Stan says "What, Cartman?" (And it's his mouth moving).

Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: It seems very strange that RoboCop 2's remote won't turn him off, but it will deactivate his weapons. Why is it able to do one and not the other?

Padzter

Correction: This is not a mistake, but a question. There's various possibilities. The remote seems set up to control many functions of RoboCop 2, so it could be a malfunction or glitch while the weapons control portion is working. Or Cain could have disabled having his mind being controlled, but not able to control the weapons; etc.

Bishop73

Correction: If you look closely the remote control has multiple buttons on it so most likely it has a shut down button as well.

Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: When Cain drives very close to the pole to make RoboCop hit it, RoboCop gets slammed in the face and falls off the van. When the camera angle changes after the Robovision shot of RoboCop hitting the wall, RoboCop is not actually hanging onto the van. He is just attached to the pole and falls off it. The van is behind him and travelling in a right angle to RoboCop's body. (01:02:19)

Padzter

Correction: This is not how the scene happens. Before hitting the pole (there is no wall involved), RoboCop has his arm through the window. The shot after "Robovision" has RoboCop's face in the pole and his arm is not in the window. However, we also see the cab section of the van (thus the window) is ahead of RoboCop at this point. Unless he wanted his arm possible ripped off, he would have been smart to pull is arm out, thus we see when he hits the pole, of course he's not hanging on to the van any long. And the van is not traveling at a right angle to RoboCop's body, but parallel.

Robocop 2 (1990)

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)

Padzter

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).

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?

Padzter

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: 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.

Padzter

Correction: There is no mistake. Even if Robocop did step in the guy's foot, which isn't visibly seen, Robocop doesn't move back. He doesn't change position except to lift and move his leg (which he would need to do if he was in fact on the guy's foot).

Bishop73

Corrected entry: Austin says the line "Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day", to stop himself from getting aroused, but he was frozen in the 60's, when she was barely on the public radar.

Padzter

Correction: There is a scene were Austin is catching up on thirty years of history on video, including the moon landing and Britain's first female prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: When RoboCop is at Cain's hideout, River Rouge, there is a sign with a phone number on the gate. The area code on the sign is "312" which is actually Chicago, instead of the proper "313" needed for Detroit. (00:31:29)

Padzter

Correction: Not necessarily incorrect at all: a lot of real estate is managed out of other cities, particularly Chicago. A brownfield property as shown could readily be owned or managed by a Chicago-based commercial/industrial real estate organization.

Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: Cain's eyes are brown for most of the film. They turn green when we see his eyes and brain in the glass tube, and again on the RoboCop 2 interface screen. (01:09:23)

Padzter

Correction: Not really true. At the start of the movie Cain's face is covered either with shadow (or just low light) and his pupils are very large, so you can't really see what colour his eyes are. They may look brown or hazel, however when Robocop is hanging on to the Bomb Disposal van with Cain driving, you can see that his eyes have a definite green colour.

Mercury

Corrected entry: Officer Barbrady is dressed in his police uniform when the town gathers for the reprise of, "Quiet Mountain Town", but as the camera pulls away, he is again dressed as a soldier. When the final group shot is shown, he's in his police uniform again. (01:15:10 - 01:16:20)

Padzter

Correction: When the camera pulls away you can't see Barbrady. So we don't know what he is wearing.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: When Cartman is being put to bed by his mum, his yellow back pack is in between his chest of drawers and his bed. When his mum is leaving the room, it has moved to in front of the chest of drawers, beside the door. (00:41:00)

Padzter

Correction: The bag stays in the same place throughout the scene.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: In the first classroom sequence after everyone sees the Terrence & Phillip film, we see some of the class wearing brown t-shirts. A few seconds later they all turn white. After Clyde volunteers to answer the sum, the t-shirts return to their normal colours.

Padzter

Correction: All the shirts stay the same colour throughout.

Robocop 3 (1993)

Corrected entry: When RoboCop gets kicked to the ground by Otomo in the underground base, we see a shot of him looking around before he takes out his gun. During the long shot of him looking around, you can see his gun already lying on the ground, yet he hasn't taken it out of his leg yet.

Padzter

Correction: The gun lying on the floor is Robocop's combined rifle/flamethrower attachment. When Robocop first enters, you clearly see him drop it on the floor, and there it remains until he uses it.

Robocop (1987)

Corrected entry: Just after RoboCop has arrested Clarence, we see the police officers arguing. There is a shot of Lewis and the doors we see behind her are clear, no one is there or near them. A second later RoboCop and Clarence bust through the doors. How did they get into the hall that fast? (01:04:56)

Padzter

Correction: If you watch through the doors during the dialogue prior to Robocop entering, right outside is a hallway immediately to the left and right of the doors (a cop is seen leading a criminal from the right to the left very close to the door). The angle Robocop and Clarence enter is at a slight right, indicating he could've come from the right hallway right outside the door.

Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: In the first Robocop film, RoboCop took on ED-209 and then he was shot by around 20 police officers for a total of around two minutes of screentime. Although cosmetically damaged, he was still operational and carried on. So how on earth can a little boy easily shoot off his hand with a few short bursts of a machine gun? If it was that easy to shoot his hand off, why didn't Ed or the police do it in the first film, and destroy him bit by bit?

Padzter

Correction: Unknown what kind of shells the kid was using. 50 caliber armor-piercing shells aimed directly at the wrist joint would do the job, and apparently much more effectively than the standard police ammo.

Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: Why is RoboCop 2 unable to speak? Surely if RoboCop 2 was to stumble upon a crime it would have to make some form of communication with the perpitratiors. If the makers of the robot bothered to put a computerised image of Cain's face on the robot, then surely they should have made a voice for him too? The digital image of a face is basically useless, and wouldn't have helped much in say a hostage situation or an assault on a building.

Padzter

Correction: Another character choice. They must have decided that RoboCain would enforce the law using brute force. If he said anything it would probably be to ask for more nuke; something his creators would not want the public to hear.

Robocop 3 (1993)

Corrected entry: Dr. Lazarus refers to the flight pack as having a command system that can be controlled by RoboCop's hard drive... so where is the hard drive? With existing internal diagrams that fans of the franchise have seen, including myself, there are no records of any hard drive in RoboCop's system what-so-ever.

Padzter

Correction: This is only an inconsistency with the diagrams supplied to the fans, not a mistake within the movie itself.
