Corrected entry: It makes no sense for Clay-Face to fake like he lost control of his abilities in order to fake his death when he's close to killing Batman.

The Toxic Avenger (1984)
Corrected entry: A woman's jar of popcorn is stuck. Toxie takes it, it's a jar of unpopped kernels. When he hands it back, it's suddenly popped corn.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Corrected entry: It's never explained why Patrick would want to kill his second wife, or how he switched headstones without being caught or having some assistance.
Correction: Just because something isn't explained doesn't make it a plot hole. But his wife said Patrick took a $10M life insurance policy out on her, so that's one reason.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Parking Spot Escalation - S6-E9
Corrected entry: For being smart they act stupid here. They don't think to alter the days the guys use the parking space with Friday being where they either share it together or Leonard or Raj get it while Howard and Sheldon would each get it two days apiece.
Correction: It's not a stupidity. It's entirely within the personalities of the two friends that Sheldon wouldn't accept change and give up something that is rightly his and for Howard to gloat over that he's a bigger deal than Sheldon now and refuse to give up something given for his new celebrity.
Correction: Sheldon didn't even have a car. Heck, he didn't even have a license. Well, except for a later episode where he secretly had a license that he never used.
This point is made several times in the episode. The fact that Sheldon does not have a car but still agues forcibly for his right to the parking space serves to reinforce the recurring theme of the show, that Sheldon is unbearably eccentric and opinionated but still manages to engage with his social group.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Ghost Bride / Gerald v.s. Jamie O. - S5-E21
Corrected entry: The boys get locked in the cemetery by Helga so she can prank and scare them. Problem here is surely cemeteries lock up by a certain time, so it would've been locked before they arrived.
Correction: Not all cemeteries open and close at the same time.
That is very true. It should also be noted that not all cemeteries have overnight security or padlocked gates. So even if the cemetery was closed, the kids could still get in if this was a cemetery that isn't heavily surveilled.

Wonder Woman (2017)
Corrected entry: The Germans on the ship should've opened fire on the beach when they saw the battle going on. No reason is given why they didn't.
Correction: Perhaps they didn't want to fire on their own troops as the ship started capsizing. Not an ideal scenario in which to try and accurately target enemies on a beach.
Well in every war America's been in cannons are firing even as troops are engaged on the battlefield.This was also quite risky and necessary, hence why I brought this up.
It is not customary to fire on your own troops. Not in any war. Highly rarely it is inevitable, but not in this scenario.
That is not standard practice, and the ship was sinking at the same time. The crew had other things to worry about.

Batman Returns (1992)
Corrected entry: There are several biker clowns not beaten by Batman early in the movie, but they disappear for the rest of it.
Correction: Not sure how this is a mistake, just because those henchmen were not featured later in the film.
3rd Jul 2020
Monk (2002)
Corrected entry: They're interviewing criminals Monk's put in state prison, mostly guys. Yet they interview Arlene Boras. I've never heard of any prison that houses both men and women.
Correction: There are prisons that house both men and women. For example, Folsom State Prison in California currently hoses both male and female.
Well then they should have Saturday night dances. It'd hopefully discourage escapes by giving them interaction, conjugal visits, should they have nobody on the outside.
6th Dec 2020
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Corrected entry: The movie's plot of a magic wishing stone seems to have been inspired by Gary K. Wolf's book Who Censored Roger Rabbit where a lantern granted wishes. Both though did/appear to be a great cost/reversal of fortune.
Correction: Considering the story of Aladdin involves a magical object leading to wishes being granted, connecting it to a specific book is a stretch. It's been a storytelling device for hundreds of years, if not longer.
7th Nov 2020
Halloween (1978)
Corrected entry: Possibly to avoid being gory, Michael, who's just been unmasked by his father, has a clean butcher knife despite having stabbed Judith multiple times.
Correction: This is incorrect. It's a little hard to see, but if you pay attention, there is some blood on the bottom edge of the knife when the camera cranes back. Look up the YouTube video "Halloween 1978 - Young Michael Myers" and watch around 1:45 through the end of the video - blood is definitely visible on the knife.
29th Sep 2019
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
Corrected entry: Ace gets the call about Einhorn's date around maybe 10 or 11pm. When he's in his bathroom there's a window with the light coming through like it's morning or early afternoon.
Correction: He's in the bathroom after a whole night of thoughts about connection of Einhorn and Finkle. The movie makes it very clear that he spent many hours trying to solve the case, of course it was morning already when he figured it out.
23rd Oct 2020
Dave (1993)
Corrected entry: Bob Alexander thinks he'll become Vice President after Nance resigns. One problem, by law, the Speaker Of The House assumes the office of Vice President, not the Chief of Staff.
Correction: When there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President, the President nominates an individual as Vice President, upon approval of Congress. There isn't a Vice President line of succession.
3rd Aug 2020
Sonic the Hedgehog (2019)
Corrected entry: During the bar fight notice two women, a blonde and a brunette, they're ready to use beer bottles with the blonde's back to the audience. Then, once Sonic has tied everyone's legs together, they've suddenly switched places.
Correction: Background is different in these two shots, so they didn't switch places but merely were shot from the opposite angles.
29th Aug 2019
The Golden Girls (1985)
Corrected entry: Blanche's brother tells of his and his boyfriend's plan of a simple ceremony. The year is 1990 and Florida didn't recognize gay civil unions or anything like that back then.
Correction: Whether it's officially legal or not, a couple can still organize a ceremony and treat it as a wedding. The brother and his boyfriend would consider themselves married.
8th Oct 2020
Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
28th Sep 2020
Spider-Man (1994)
Corrected entry: Spider-Man should've recognized Black Cat as Felicia Hardy since she doesn't disguise her voice.
Correction: This is a common trope in superhero stories and falls under suspension of disbelief. Spider-Man doesn't disguise his voice either, but no-one he also knows as Peter Parker recognizes it's him. Clark Kent's disguise is nothing more than a pair of glasses, but it fools everybody. Batman's lower half of his face is visible and people should also be able to deduce that being Batman would require a lot of wealth, in addition to recognizing that Robin is actually Bruce Wayne's ward since he only covers his eyes, etc.
28th Sep 2020
The Dark Knight (2008)
Corrected entry: It seems dumb to blame Batman for Two Face's murders. They should've just blamed them on The Joker.
Correction: As bad as the Joker is, Batman would never falsely accuse anyone of a crime they didn't commit. Plus, Joker was in custody at the time, so people could become suspicious the police are lying about the murders. But it also sets up a new persona for Batman to put fear into Gotham's criminals. He is now seen as a vigilante willing to kill. And it sets up Harvey Dent to be the hero.
23rd Sep 2020
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Corrected entry: Given Angela's really Peter it's never revealed how he could mask his male voice. Unlikely his aunt could've taught him how to sound more feminine.
Correction: Just because something is "unlikely" doesn't mean it's a mistake. It's not outside of the realm of possibility, hence it's not a mistake. His (very crazy) aunt has been forcing him to look and act like a girl. She's probably just conditioned him to speak with a lighter, more feminine voice. It's not exactly hard to impersonate a softer female voice. (I have a friend who does it all the time as part of his drag act.) You also have to factor in that Angela/Peter is still a child, and children naturally have softer, higher-pitched voices anyways.
22nd Sep 2020
Elektra (2005)
Corrected entry: Elektra was said to have trained her whole life yet here she seems to need more, as if she's new to martial arts.
Correction: Just because she's been training her whole life doesn't mean that there's not more to learn. Even experts continue to train in order to learn new things.
Corrected entry: It doesn't seem likely the turtles would stick around the club after their fight with Super Shredder to get their picture taken.
Correction: This is not a movie mistake. Nothing about them sticking around longer than they should constitutes a mistake.

Correction: Clayface wasn't faking losing control of his abilities. He really was losing control. When Clayface saw all the characters he played over the years as Matt Hagen, he began turning into each of them involuntarily but, because there was too many of them, he became overwhelmed and couldn't stop transforming. He even begs Batman to shut off the screens. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4W8Wp6SzdM.
