A nameless member

Continuity mistake: In this movie Wormser is fifteen years old. This movie takes place one year after the events of Revenge of the Nerds, when Wormser was only twelve. He should only be thirteen in the sequel.

Suggested correction: How do you know it takes place one year after the events of Revenge Of The Nerds? A time frame was never mentioned. This movie was released three years after the original so if it was in real time, Wormser would have aged three years so it makes perfect sense.

In the movie, Gilbert mentions that they were able to beat the Alphas "last year."

8mm (1999)

Corrected entry: Nic Cage tells the old woman on the phone that the company that provided the film for the snuff movie was discontinued in '92 so it had to be made prior to that, yet when he pulls Mary Anne's file from the police station, it reads that she'd been missing since '93.

Correction: That simply means they stopped making the film in 1992. The bad guys who made the snuff film may have had some left over. I still (as of 2011) have some 25-speed (ASA25) film left over that Kodak stopped making in 1998.

Demolition Man (1993)

Corrected entry: When John Spartan was thawed out, he had no idea how much time had passed and had no knowledge of what had occurred. It would be fair to say that time had officially stopped for him. In his eyes, the notification of his wife's death would seem as if it had just happened. So why on Earth is he goggling over Huxley like it's old news? He's running around carrying on with everyday life like nothing's changed. One would think he would be mourning. He's acting like his wife has been dead for years and he's moved on. It makes no sense.

Correction: Jack Spartan mentioned during the dinner at Taco Bell that he was fully aware and awake and could see and hear his wife pounding on the glass. The entire conversation was based on what it was like to be frozen.

I think there is room to question that - Spartan mentions that he was "having a 36 year nightmare about people in a burning building" and then goes on to say he remembers his wife outside his block of ice. Croctau then mentions that there might be side effects from the freezing process or something of that sort. So totally awake and aware yet unable to move might be a stretch. It might have more like brief snatches of awareness, woven in to a dream like state that he remembers upon being thawed. Like a person having a bad dream who remembers bits and pieces after waking up. It seems unlikely that a person could survive mentally awake and aware in that frozen state for decades. You'd go insane as Huxley mentions.

Foul Play (1978)

Corrected entry: When Chevy and Goldie are racing to save the Pope in the stolen taxi, after he jumps the dirt mound at the construction site the hood opens upon impact when the car lands - but in the next shot the hood is closed again. (01:46:05)

Correction: The hood can be seen closing as Chevy Chase makes a left turn.
