Terror Train (1980)

Corrected entry: There is no way any of the characters couldn't tell the magician's assistant isn't a woman but a guy in disguise.

Rob245

Correction: Honestly, I was fooled when I first watched the movie (Derek MacKinnon is a drag performer in real life). Also, the assistant keeps her distance from the passengers during the train ride. Until the climax, she's only seen onstage, or alone with the magician (who presumably knows). She even walks away when the conductor briefly speaks to the magician. And she disappears for long stretches of the movie, because Kenny is moving around the train, wearing other disguises, to commit the murders.

Correction: Who's to say many of them didn't? So the magician's assistant is in drag. It's a costume party, after all.

TonyPH

Correction: After sending Felicia to Paris, Miles received a letter from Dr. Strange stating that him and Wong had just returned home. This means they weren't there when Felicia broke in and took the wand.

Yeah, I just found that out. My bad.

Model by Day (1994)

Corrected entry: There's no way that the around 5'4" foot Jae could fit into the Lady X costume that the 6'0" foot Lex wears.

Rob245

Correction: The difference in height between the actresses is less than 4". Traci Lind is 5'8" and Famke Jannsen is 5'11.5". Not sure where you got 5'4" from. So she absolutely should be able to fit into the costume mostly OK. It also noticeably looks a little loose on her if you pay attention. I don't see any mistake here.

Roseanne (1988)

Correction: This "standard procedure" is not altogether cut-and-dried. It actually depends on the policy of the police department, as well as the judgment of the officers making the arrest. The two officers know Dan and Rosie. Dan was compliant, not resisting whatsoever.

King of the Hill (1997)

Correction: There's nothing I saw that indicated she was surprised Cotton lost his shins, or that she didn't know that. She's upset because she thinks all the stories Cotton told her were lies, and when Hank says "that fraud used to be 6'4"", her response was "so", as in what's your point. And the point of Hank's story wasn't Cotton lost his shins, but that he was walking again after 18 months. If anything, that's what Peggy was surprised at, or that Hank thinks his dad was heroic.

Bishop73

Correction: There were already paramedics and authorities there to take care of the engineer. It'd be pointless to fly him to a hospital when he's already being helped.

Wonder Woman (2017)

Corrected entry: Ares as the God of War always wanted people fighting as he revelled in this. This change up of him wanting all people dead makes no sense.

Rob245

Correction: (1) The writers are allowed to alter characters and motivations. They don't have to stick with the rules of the original mythological figure. (2) Ares also explicitly states that he wants to eradicate humanity through war (which is kind of his thing, anyways) because it will help earth return to the "paradise" it was before them, so he has a clear motivation. He hates humans and wants the world to return to what it once was before they arrived, and as the god of war, he wants to use war to destroy them. It makes perfect sense in the context of this story even if it doesn't fit in with the classic mythological figure.

X-Men (2000)

Corrected entry: Mystique tells Trask how she had to go to school and get stared at by other kids looking the way she does. Yet in X-Men: The Last Stand and when she meets Charles in First Class she's capable of looking like an ordinary child. This statement seems to contradict her ability at shape changing.

Rob245

Correction: First of all, it's not Trask she says this to, it's Senator Kelly. And what she actually says is people like him are the reason she was afraid to go to school as a child. She doesn't say anything about being stared at by other kids.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Correction: Sandman's name is used in the film and while "Green Goblin" isn't said, Goblin is.

Bishop73

Correction: Sandman is referred to as "Sandman" during the newscast right before the final battle and Spider-Man refers to Harry as "Goblin" while taunting him. (Albeit, something like "Goblin Jr, " but he refers to him as Goblin nonetheless).

TedStixon

Corrected entry: There's no way anyone could afford to own a building 1,688 feet tall. The costs of utilities and other things would be quite high.

Rob245

Correction: Every tall building has an owner. Either the owner/corporation is profitable enough to justify operating it themselves, or else floors/offices are leased out to others, and the income from that more than covers the costs.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Corrected entry: The firefighters' helmets should read "GCFD" not "FDGC" since the police department's referred to as "GCPD."

Rob245

Correction: Gotham City's fire dept is known as both FDGC and GCFD, in the same way as NY's fire dept is known as the FDNY and police dept known as NYPD.

Super Grover

Corrected entry: They try making it sound like the Michigan vs Navy game was close, it wasn't. Michigan won 70-14 over Navy.

Rob245

Correction: The game you're referring to was played on September 25, 1976, three months after they finished shooting according to IMDb.com. A film not being able to accurately predict the future is not a valid mistake.

Correction: This is incorrect. Casey Jones is a playable character in the Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters, which was released in 1994. In addition, Casey Jones and Splinter are unlockable playable characters in the mobile game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Madness which was released in 2020.

Sorry. I didn't know this, my apologies for this error.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Corrected entry: All the patrons appear as zombies to Officer Owens during the diner massacre except for the waitresses.

Rob245

Correction: The hallucinations Scarecrow's fear gas causes don't need to be consistent; they're hallucinations.

Feat of Clay (2) - S1-E5

Corrected entry: Unless he didn't feel like it or Daggett's being held somewhere that's secret there's no reason that Clayface, who faked his death, couldn't try to track him down again.

Rob245

Correction: There's absolutely nothing in the episode that suggests Clayface can't try to track down Daggett again. That's pure conjecture on your part. And conjecture is not a mistake or plot hole. But just to humor you, as seen in the series, Clayface goes through many other trials and tribulations that take up his time, which might explain why they don't show him going after Daggett in future episodes. Either way... this isn't a plot hole.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Correction: These aren't continuous shots. His mechanical arms could have easily ripped the top half of his gown off while he was walking from the operating room to the street.

Phaneron

Corrected entry: Poison Ivy's hair is red most of the movie. Yet once she's a patient in Arkham Asylum her hair suddenly looks like a shade of pink.

Rob245

Correction: She became part-plant when she was "killed" and resurrected. That's how it's usually depicted in the comics and other media, and she even describes this process in a speech when she comes back to life in this film and kills the evil doctor who created her. She's stuck in a dark, dank prison cell without much sunlight (there seems to be only one small window and minimal light in her cell)... thus her body is becoming weaker, and her color (like her hair) is fading. Just like a flower would without enough sunlight for photosynthesis. Notice how she also looks overly frail and frazzled, unlike how energetic and vibrant she was earlier.

Blue Bloods (2010)

Legacy - S8-E15

Corrected entry: It's said the illegal immigrant from Venezuela has a new born child. Yet they're still talking of deporting him. Impossible as that child was born here, she/he is an automatic citizen and can represent the whole family in getting citizenship as the law dictates.

Rob245

Correction: No, it's not impossible. It's a lot more complex and there's no guarantee for immediate citizenship for the parents. There's not even a guarantee a child will be given residency in the US until he or she is old enough to live on his or her own. However, I missed the part in the episode that said anything about the child being born in America, they just said he had a "newborn."

Bishop73

Corrected entry: Cletus Kassidy's hair has gone from fluffed out and messed up looking from the ending scene of the previous movie to neatly trimmed here.

Rob245

Correction: This movie doesn't begin where the previous one ended. Kasady simply got a haircut between movies.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Corrected entry: In "A Friend In Need" it's never explained how Hush got into Wayne Enterprises with it being locked down. It's doubtful Arkham Knight knew he was in town and could help him.

Rob245

Correction: It's not a plot hole for something to not be explained. A plot hole is when there is a logical inconsistency that benefits the story despite not making sense.
