Corrected entry: In the park, McClane and Zeus are challenged to fill one 5-gallon jug with only 4 gallons of water, using it and a 3-gallon jug. When they solve the problem, they put the 5-gallon jug with, supposedly, 4 gallons of water in it on the scale to deactivate the bomb; however, the 5-gallon jug, on the scale, is filled only halfway, no where close to where the 4-gallon mark should be.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
3rd Jul 2007
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
The Great Snail Race / Mid-Life Crustacean - S3-E15
Corrected entry: How can there only be the three race contestants (Squidward, Spongebob, and Patrick)? Squidward surely wouldn't have spent his hard earned money just to con the other two into joining a race, so there should be more snails in the race. If Spongebob and Patrick had decided they didn't care about the race, would Squidward's snail have won by default, since there were no other racers?

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Grandma's Kisses / Squidville - S2-E9
Corrected entry: In Grandma's kisses, Patrick is taking a nap. Then Spongebob has a fit about wishing he could be a baby again. But through the fit, Patrick doesn't appear for the rest of the episode. There is even a shot of the couch Patrick was sleeping on, empty.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In various episodes the rooms in Spongebob's house change, and make it too big to all be the same size as the exterior of his house.
22nd Aug 2007

Corrected entry: The windows on Spongebob's house (other then the ones on the front) are always changing position.
15th Jun 2007
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In several episodes, Squidward and Spongebob are cleaning plates and cups at the Krusty Krab - but you never see anyone eating/drinking out of one at the Krusty Krab.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Corrected entry: Why, and how while we are at it, would the band explode on its own instead of attacking the survivors of the first big battle? That's pretty nonsensical.
Correction: Yeah its pretty believable that their is a biker bar with vampires and such but not believable that some of the vampires could explode themselves. Seriously it doesn't need to make sense. Unless there is some contradiction the film makes, the rules made in the film are fair game.

Scream (1996)
Corrected entry: Sidney is talking with Stu and Tatum at the lockers when someone runs by wearing the Ghostface mask. She runs down the hall, bumping into Billy, then goes into the bathroom and meets the killer. We know it isn't Billy because we just saw him, but how would Stu get into the bathroom without passing by Billy and Sidney?
Correction: It was made pretty clear that it was two other kids that ran through the hall. There is a scene with Henry Winkler (principal) who is expelling the two students due to the prank.
Yes, and that scene happens before the killer shows up in the bathroom, so it can't be them. Sidney also says that she knew it was really "him", the real killer, and not a prankster, and there's no indication that the movie wants her to be wrong at that time.
The "tell" is that the shot of Sidney running out of the restroom has a voiceover from a news reporter talking about pranksters dressed as the killer. Sidney is far from infallible (she even misidentified her mother's killer) and is vulnerable and being psychologically manipulated by Billy and Stu.
The biggest tell would be that he has no knife, but there's nothing prankster-like in that assault, if he tackled her like that he would have hurt her (and he's in the girls' bathroom too?). The newscast about the pranksters establishes that it's the authorities' version, but the dialogue I mentioned happens later, addresses exactly that, and she negates it. I agree that Sidney is not infallible, but the fact that she was wrong (by deliberate misdirection from the real culprit) about Cotton is a specific plot point, she was supposed to be wrong and Gale even picks up on the fact that she deep inside isn't sure about it anymore. Overall the bathroom scene is one of those scenes that don't quite add up but people enjoy making theories about them ("it was all in Sidney's mind", "it was Roman", etc).
I agree this is one of the film's weaker moments, but I don't think it's just an accident. The high school section was rearranged from the script and a couple moments dropped, and I believe it was decided during editing to make the restroom scene more ambiguous (adding the "killer's" grunts that sound younger than any of the characters; moving the reporter's monologue to the end of this scene) to make up for an unfilmed scene where Sidney encountered two more masked impostors in the school.

The Simpsons (1989)
Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in 'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish' - S7-E22
Corrected entry: When Mr. Burns crashes through Bart's window on the crane, no-one comes to investigate despite the fact that a crash like that would most likely alert someone.
11th Dec 2007
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Corrected entry: If the Thermians studied the show enough to base their entire way of life upon it, shouldn't they freak out at seeing Guy alive and well despite him being killed in the "historical documents"?
Correction: As their reaction shows they did not really remember him. The Thermians much like any fan of a show will most likely remember many of the major characters, plots and certain details of the show. That's not to say they will remember every single detail but just the important ones, like the names of the major crew members and so forth.

Knocked Up (2007)
Corrected entry: When Alison and her sister are writing Ben the e-mail saying she needs to talk to him, they send it without writing her name at the bottom. Yet when the boys at Ben's receive it, he reads out her name.
Correction: In an email programme such as Microsoft Outlook Express there is areas that you can put your personal details such as email address and name. Therefore when it sends, the email recipient will see the email address and the name of the sender regardless of whether they put it in the email.

Prison Break (2005)
Corrected entry: When Veronica is watching the tape of the 'shooting' for the first time, Lincoln flinches when he gun fires but since the tape was doctored and he never actually fired the gun, he shouldn't have flinched when it supposedly went off.
1st Dec 2007
Prison Break (2005)
Cute Poison - S1-E4
Corrected entry: When Michael tells Pope about Haywire and wanting to get rid of him, Pope tells him that unless there is a sign of violence or sexual predation, he can't have Haywire transferred because the prison is too crowded to transfer cellmates due to personality clashes; yet Fernando gets transferred to another cell from Michael's with no problems.
Correction: Pope is meaning that a prisoner can't request that another prisoner be transferred unless there is violence or sexual advances. Sucre was one who requested his transfer making the scenario a little different. While it might have been turned down because of overcrowding this time it was granted.

The Queen (2006)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Alaistar Campbell is attending the meeting with the Lord Chamberlin at Buckingham Palace, he is wearing a blue shirt. When he returns to 10 Downing Street immediately following, he is wearing a white shirt.

The Fugitive (1993)
Corrected entry: On the train towards the end Sykes kills the transit cop, and Richard Kimble is subsequently blamed for it. However, throughout the scene of Sykes killing the cop and his and Kimble's fight, there are at least two other people in the same car watching the whole thing who would be able to say with certainty that Kimble was not the one who killed the cop. He should never have been a suspect in that killing.
Correction: The logic however behind that is the police and everyone else knew what the audience does. In reality once Kimble and Sykes got off the train there was no telling what happened to those two people or what they told the police. Added to this Kimble was identified by the transit cop before being shot. The fact they are chasing a convicted murderer it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think he was involved with the killing on the train. In the end Kimble is exonerated so obviously they must have eventually discovered he didn't kill the cop.
18th Dec 2006
Casino Royale (2006)
Corrected entry: When Bond is hunting the bomb terrorist at the beginning, they both cross a fence of a building site. At the bottom of the fence is a heap of sand. When the terrorist crosses, the heap approximately reaches the middle of the fence. When Bond crosses a second later, the heap is suddenly higher, although the bulldozer, that is dumping sand, doesn't reach to the fence. Maybe it was to make it a little more comfortable for Daniel Craig to roll over it. (00:10:55)
14th Dec 2006
Casino Royale (2006)
Corrected entry: When Vesper puts her red dress on in the hotel room in Venice she isn't wearing a bra. When Bond and her walk down the stairs, a bra strap is visible across her back.
2nd Jan 2007
Casino Royale (2006)
Corrected entry: At the end of the scene in which James Bond sits in the shower comforting Vesper, there are shadows from the crew moving on the sink/counter in the left foreground.
16th Nov 2006
Casino Royale (2006)
Corrected entry: When Bond is trying to climb onto the aviation fuel truck, his trouser leg rides up and you can see the white protective suit the stuntman is wearing under the costume.
Correction: I have looked through a large portion of this sequence and cannot seem to find the moment that you are talking about. There are a few instances where you can see white near his shoes but I took that for socks. Due to the length of the scene it might be worth adding the mistake's timecode or add to the description to point out when this happens so it can be verified.

Correction: If you look closely at the jugs, the design makes them difficult to measure. The inverted handle might deceive how much was there. Don't rule out as well that Simon might have purposely made the bomb to defuse even if the jug was a little off. The likelihood of getting exactly 4 gallons and not an ounce of more over or under was going to be near impossible. The fact he enjoyed running McClane all over town showed he wanted to enjoy watching him suffer.
