Die Hard (1988)

Corrected entry: When Takagi is shot and killed, and John says "Argyle, please tell me you heard the shot" - not sure if he's saying it in jest or not, but if not, - there is no way that Argyle could have heard a single gunshot, with the music turned up, in the basement of a multi-story building, when they are 28-30 stories up.

Correction: There may be no way but that doesn't mean John can have wishful thinking, especially since he doesn't know the music is turned up.

Three's Company (1977)

Correction: Jack is being as overtly obnoxious as can be, and the "Tammy" was quite deliberate on his part. Jack also did not pronounce Terri correctly, but instead pronounced it like "Teary" just to emphasize the obnoxious behavior (when Jack feels bad while holding the seltzer bottle he pronounces her name correctly).

Super Grover

I respectfully disagree with that synopsis - being obnoxious doesn't mean you purposely mispronounce a name. Seems that if it was on purpose, one of the cast (in character) would have corrected him. Some things slip through editing due to time frames and reshoots.

Correction: This has already been submitted and has been sitting in the corrections section for some time with a few different answers. Nobody knows the real answer but some good possibilities have been submitted.

Coming to America (1988)

Corrected entry: While at the engagement party, Lisa steps outside to be on the swings and invites Akeem to talk. They have no coats on, show no signs of cold, and we can't see their breath. But when they were standing outside of McDowell's and emptying the trash everyone was dressed for winter.

Correction: Akeem puts his red coat on Lisa because she is rubbing her arms trying to keep warm because she stormed out without thinking because she was angry. You can't always see your breath when it's cold out. And some people can handle the cold more than others without showing signs.

I was focusing more on the seeing the breath than I was the clothing - but was making the comparison that during the trash scene, the breath - as they're dressed appropriately for winter. I know over a period of time, you can not see your breath - but it requires being out in the cold for several hours (i.e. see thriller movie "Frozen" for reference on the "making of"). When he first walks out from a warm house to the "cold" outside... you should at the very least see his first couple of sentences... from either him or her.
