Corrected entry: When Gary, Wyatt, and Lisa go to the Kandy Bar, Lisa gives them fake ID's so they can get in. Wyatt's license has an address of 1401 Lucile Ave in Shermer, ILL 60007. 60007 is the ZIP code for Elk Grove Village, Illinois which has no Lucile Ave. (00:16:50)

Correction: In addition to the other correction, Shermer is a fictional town and thus could share the Elk Grove zip code.

They Live (1988)
Corrected entry: When the guards at Cable 54 ask, "do you have your authorization cards?" Nada and Frank blow them away. Nada drags the traitor over by his goatee then taps on the glass and says, "it's soundproof". This would have already been established as nobody on the other side of the window reacted to the gunshots. (01:22:50)
Correction: Just because something's obvious does not mean it's a mistake for someone to point it out. It's like someone saying, "You got shot." when someone clearly has been shot.

Men in Black (1997)
Corrected entry: In the pawnshop right after Jeebs' head grows back, K tells him, "I want you off the next transport off this rock or I'm going to shoot you where it don't grow back". Yet Jeebs appears in the next movie. (00:20:35)

Men in Black (1997)
Corrected entry: When Dr Laurel Weaver (the coroner) is making a statement on a tape recorder about the oddities of the "body" of Gentle Rosenberg, J and K never bothered to erase the tape, so neuralizing Dr Weaver by itself was not enough to cover the tracks. (00:51:15)

Unknown (2011)
Corrected entry: When Martin Harris is attempting to prove who he is in the security office of the hotel, he asks the security to call a colleague. When he gives the number he says, "001.". International calls start with 011, not 001. (00:20:35)
Correction: Actually, you dial 011 to dial out of the US to another country, but you dial 001 when dialing from another country to the US, so the movie is correct.

UHF (1989)
Corrected entry: Right after George Newman pays off Big Louie, a man from the FCC tells RJ Fletcher, ".your broadcast made a big impression on me. I'm revoking your license. Effective immediately, you're off the air". This is in reference to Philo's broadcast of RJ calling the community "festering dogsnot" from the camera he had previously hidden in RJ's office. Although rude and offensive, there was nothing illegal about RJ's statement. The one who broke the law, if anyone, would have been Philo for illegally transmitting on Channel 8's frequency. (01:22:35 - 01:27:45)
Correction: He revokes Channel 8s licence because they are late filing their financial returns for the year, not because of the broadcast. He makes it clear that late filing of a return would normally involve a large fine - so it's a serious offence - but after seeing Fletcher's offensive broadcast he is taking Channel 8 off the air, something he is entitled to do anyway.

The Naked Gun (1988)
Corrected entry: After Frank Drebin takes Enrico Pallazzo's tuxedo, it fits like a glove even though Pallazzo was considerately larger than Drebin. (01:02:00)
