The Holiday (2006)

Corrected entry: When Iris is pouring wine for herself and Jasper, the sound of pouring begins long before she picks up the bottle.

Correction: Watch again, closely - as Iris begins pouring, the gurgling sound matches perfectly with the moment that air enters the bottle.

Corrected entry: In the scene where the entire family is squeezing on the elevator just after Lucy revealed that Peter only has one testicle, one actor in the back of the elevator keeps repositioning himself so he is constantly visible to the camera, even going so far as to stand on his tip toes.

Correction: He is just trying to get out of the way of the Callaghans who are crowding into the elevator.

Corrected entry: After Lucy jumps off the platform to save Peter and the train finally arrives, the shot from above shows them under the edge of the train, as if they are being crushed. The next shot from the side shows them safely clear of the train but reveals that there is no space under the train for them to have survived as the train supposedly passed over them.

Correction: The train does hide them during the high shot, but it's not possible to determine how much space there is or isn't based on these shots.

The Italian Job (2003)

Corrected entry: The three Minis drive from street level into the subway entrance, down the stairs onto a platform and then on onto the rails. Can't be done - to get to the platform they'd have to get through (very, very solid) passenger turnstiles. There is no station in L.A. that doesn't have them.

Correction: Actually, there are currently no Metro Rail stations in Los Angeles County that have turnstiles. The system is considering installing them, but at the time the movie took place, it was a barrier-free system.
