Corrected entry: After Tod has died, Alex is walking under some trees and a leaf falls to the ground. The wire attached to the leaf is visible as it falls.

Final Destination (2000)
Corrected entry: When Billy looks out of the airport window, you can see that there was a model plane used when you see it take off. (00:18:00)
Correction: It looks nothing like a model.

Final Destination (2000)
Corrected entry: In the last scene where Carter, Clear and Alex are in Paris, Clear sees the reflection of the bus. Shortly after that the bus hits the pole that flies up and unleashes the billboard that kills Carter. The pole cannot fly so high and cut the billboard loose.
Correction: Your reasoning makes no sense at all. Of course it can, and it did. What makes it unbelievable? It's certainly long enough.
7th Aug 2006
Final Destination (2000)
Corrected entry: When the woman teacher is lying with the knife in her chest, Alex comes around the corner and she looks at him. There is barely any blood on her neck at that point despite it spurting in earlier shots.
Correction: Her neck is covered in blood in all of the shots.
27th Aug 2001
Final Destination (2000)
Corrected entry: When the car explodes you can see that it has been cut in two before.
Correction: If you're talking about the explosion in which Alex grabs the electric wire so that Clear can escape, I found no evidence, going through it in slow motion, of your claim. If that's not the explosion that you're talking about, be specific about the scene in which it occurs.

Premonition (2007)
Corrected entry: I'm not sure what type of mistake you would count this as, but there's no way a policeman/authority of any kind would come to someone's home, tell them their husband has died, and then just leave, giving them a calling card. Even if not to comfort her, there would be formal identifying or other official arrangements to be made.
Correction: He gave her his card specifically to make arrangements AFTER she comes to grips with what has happened. That's perfectly plausible.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Corrected entry: At the end, when Styker points the gun at the wounded Kayla - and then at himself - she's not in any danger. It's a six-shot revolver, and he's already spent the six bullets on Wolverine.
Correction: He only fires five out of the six. The first when he shot Logan in the back, the second after Logan turned around, the third while Logan was running at him, the fourth was the one while Logan was in the air from jumping at Stryker and was also the one that knocked him out, the fifth was the second shot to Logan's head and the final one he shot at him. So, Stryker fired five shots at Logan and still had one left for Kayla. Regardless, it's unlikely she was counting the shots anyway.

Men in Black (1997)
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie when Will Smith first meets Rip Torn with all the other recruits, after he hands them the tests, look and listen very carefully. When Will pulls the table the noise for the table actually starts before he even pulls the table.
Correction: It starts at the exact moment that he starts pulling it, just as it should.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Corrected entry: It is stated that the only thing which will penetrate Logan's adamantium skeleton is an adamantium bullet. Following this logic, Logan's adamantium claws should cut through Deadpool's arm blades, or vice versa.
Correction: A bullet traveling at high speeds would behave very differently than a blade, even of the same material.
Quite correct. A lead (soft) bullet will penetrate a steel (hard) plate due to its velocity. The same applies here.
Actually it's not about something softer vs something hard. Adamantium is quite indestructible even when matched against each other. But an adamantium bullet can dent an adamantium plate at least. Of course the true nature of the adamantium in the movies is not as elaborate as the comics (certainly not the origins), but I think the basic features still apply, that it is steel with an extremely high density and thus indestructible even when it's adamantium versus adamantium. This can even include Silver Samurai's adamantium in the later movie which is obviously of higher quality.
I was trying to make the point that a bullet can penetrate something as hard or harder than itself due to its velocity.
Correction: We can assume that as Weapon X has the same healing abilities as Logan, his blades are adamantium too.
7th Nov 2004
Smart House (1999)
Corrected entry: When Angie gets her hand scanned by PAT. PAT is able to tell her age, illnesses, injuries and if she has broken bones. Sara explains it uses a DNA sample for these tests. DNA samples do not hold this kind of information.
Correction: The sample would be used to find her medical history on file with the hospital that has the information.
11th Jul 2006
Hackers (1995)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Kate has the big party at her house, after someone gives Dade a bottle to drink from, he moves toward the back of the house to see Nikon. He walks backwards saying "Big man, big boots, you look good girl. Lay it out," but his mouth doesn't move at all.
8th Jan 2005
Flubber (1997)
Corrected entry: After Professor Brainard runs to the basement to create Flubber, Weebo displays "Wedding to Sara Jean Reynolds", then changes it to "canceled" which is misspelled. (00:12:10)
Correction: Both are acceptable spellings.
5th Apr 2008
DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
Corrected entry: When Christie knocks out Helena during the rain fight, Helena is lying in a large puddle of rain water. In the next subsequent shot, she is lying in wet sand.
Correction: That entire fight consists of shots some time apart from each other. Just like the shot in which Helena is holding and pulling Christie, and in the next shot (without realistically enough time), the roles are reversed.

Clockstoppers (2002)
Corrected entry: When the man and woman come to search for Zak in the hospital, Zak looks out of the window and sees them coming in their car (in normal time). Why didn't they just go straight into hypertime, instead of giving Zak the chance to escape?
Correction: Character decision. Not a movie mistake.
12th Jan 2004
Clockstoppers (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the hero comes home in hypertime and finds the QT agents there, he goes back outside and is pulled into the van by Doppler. Why would they put him in hypertime? He would have time to escape, since he can now move as fast as they can. The smart thing to do would be to leave him in real time, as they would be gone for a few seconds, literally.
Correction: It was a decision that they made to leave him in hypertime. Most likely it was because he hates being in hypertime since he spent so much time in it and aged incredibly.
13th Jun 2007
Clockstoppers (2002)
Corrected entry: When the unauthorized hypertime response agents go to get Zak, some of them have liquid nitrogen (which brings people out of hypertime) but some of them don't. Why would the company have hypertime response agents that don't have the one thing that would bring their enemy out of hypertime? If these were simply workers not designated for hypertime response, then why aren't they required to carry nitrogen anyway just in case they *do* have to respond to an unauthorized hypertime user?
Correction: This was a decision made by the people in the movie. Might have been a bad decision, but that doesn't count as a movie mistake.
13th Apr 2009
Eagle Eye (2008)
Corrected entry: The involvement of Jerry in this movie is completely unnecessary. Throughout the movie, ARIA continued her plans to activate Quarantine. She had already delivered the crystal and the sonic device, and the concert was already arranged. So why did she need Jerry to release the lockout if everything was already in place to carry it out?
Correction: A machine like that knows that humans are unpredictable, and that things can go wrong. Jerry is ARIA's Plan B, which is perfectly reasonable.
Correction: She was able to set the plan in place, but she was not allowed, by her programming, to actually do it, without Jerry's 'permission' by removing the lock. We can see at the end when Sam is practicing before the performance she zooms in on the detonator and 'activates' it. Based on logic and her requirement of Jerry removing the lock she would NOT be allowed to 'activate' the detonator. So she can set the plan in motion but nothing would've happened without the lock being removed.
20th May 2007
Next (2007)
Corrected entry: Ferris threatens Chris by saying he'll spend time in Folsom State Prison. They are in Las Vegas, Nevada and Folsom is a State prison for California not Nevada.
Correction: She was just saying that there are consequences for his actions. She wasn't being literal.
22nd Sep 2003
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
Corrected entry: Right before Robin is hanged, there are three ropes on the gallows, then when he has a rope around his neck, there is only one, shortly after, there are none, and then during the wedding, there are three again.
Correction: The depth of the shots change, sometimes making only one of the nooses visible, but there are always four nooses on the gallows.
2nd Apr 2009
Knowing (2009)
Corrected entry: After Lucinda goes to hide in the basement closet near the beginning of the movie, the search that is conducted for her is done in the dark using flashlights. It's a 1950s school. They had lights. They would have just turned them on.
Correction: Of course they would have turned the lights on, if they could. Have you never experienced a blackout?
They have some lights on, some off, thus why the person said they would have just turned the lights on. (More lights).
