Corrected entry: When the Titanic hits the iceberg, it shows a shot from inside the cargo hold, later it shows another one, it's really just the same shot looped. Note a barrel right behind the large white pole and a small stick in front of it. (01:36:30)

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: The actual Kuiper Belt (where the Axiom is located) is just outside Saturn's orbit. However on WALL-E's space voyage, he passes another sun and another galaxy. That's not right.
Correction: This mistake is riddle with errors. First, the Kuiper belt is located out past Neptune, not just outside Saturn's Orbit. Second, the Axiom is shown next to a purple Nebula, which isn't the Kuiper belt. There isn't any reference in the film to say that the Axiom is located at the Kuiper belt either. Fourth, Considering the sequence of the voyage, it is our own sun the rocket passes, most likely using the slingshot technique to give it more speed. The Galaxy shown is also our milky way.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: When the captain of the Axiom activates the holo-detector, everyone on board gets some sort of helmet. When the ship tips to the side, the helmets disappear back into the hoverchairs. Once the plant is put into the holo-detector, the Axiom goes back to Earth. If nothing happened to the passengers, except for falling down, what was the use of the helmets on the way back to Earth?
Correction: This is a question, not a mistake, please learn the difference. The helmets were presumably some sort of protective measure built into the chairs to defend against some sort of problem with the flight. As the flight back to Earth went smoothly, the lack of helmets became a moot point, particularly as none of the Axiom residents were in their chairs anyway, but that doesn't mean that their presence is any sort of mistake.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: When EVE blows up the ship, WALL-E comes up. We see him kind of slowly slide over towards EVE, however WALL-E's treads are not built to move like that. How did he move?
Correction: WALL-E is repeatedly shown to move his treads laterally - for one thing, they have to have that capability in order to be retracted and stored within his torso. It is clear that his propulsion system is far more complex than just a simple track mechanism, allowing him a great deal of freedom of movement.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: How do the Axiom and the robots run? Surely not solar power since they are in the Kuiper Belt with almost no sunlight. Not wind power. Nuclear power would require lots of water and getting rid of radioactive waste, with the possibility of a meltdown. How do they run?
Correction: Just because something isn't directly explained in the film, it doesn't make it a mistake, merely an unanswered question; try to learn the difference and submit in that section next time. There are all sorts of possibilities - controlled fusion reactions, Star Trek-style matter/anti-matter annihilation. We're talking technology a hundred years more advanced than our own, who knows what they might have come up with.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: How are the people of the Axiom able to breathe without any plants to take in any of the carbon dioxide given out by humans, and breathe out oxygen? Recycling air would be impossible.
Correction: Why would recycling air be impossible? Submarines, space shuttles, the international space station, etc. all recycle air *today*. the film takes place in a far future.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when we see Wall-E go home, we see a holographic commercial advertising the Axiom. We see people of all ages in the commercial, kids, seniors, and adults, but when Wall-E actually arrives on the Axiom, we only see adults and babies. Where are kids and seniors?
Correction: Two reasons. First, the commercial is just that, a commercial. They can put whatever they want in it. Secondly, just because we don't explicitly see seniors and children, doesn't mean that they are not there. They are not critical to the story.

Mars Attacks! (1996)
Corrected entry: When Ritchy is taking Grandma back to the home, she says that she wants to see Slim, Muffy, and Ritchy. Ritchy then says, "Grandma I'm Ricky". He says Ricky not Ritchy.
Correction: Ritchie is short for Richard, as is Rick, Ricky, Dick, Dickie, etc etc. She has her own pet name for him - not a film mistake.

Correction: There are a total of 3 shots showing a barrel by a white pole. In all 3 shots, the barrel's reaction to the water is different. In the first it is blasted over by the water. On the second it is knocked over and rolls off with the third being blasted forwards and up over some bags.
