Corrected entry: In the scene where Mike and Marcus are in the house being shot at, Marcus is in some sort of bathroom (there's a toilet there, anyway). He ducks behind the wall and the toilet, and the wall behind where his head was, around, and above, was covered completely in bullet holes. In the next shot, he sits back up again, and there are far fewer bullet holes in the wall. (00:50:25)

X-Men: Evolution (2000)
Corrected entry: Kitty phases a toothbrush into Beast and leaves it there. he should have noticed something that size of a toothbrush poking through his internal organs - and should have suffered some sort of damage from it even when it was phased out.
Correction: Not unless Beast is a machine. Kitty's phased objects can stay phased for a long time, at least long enough for it to slip back out of him. The only damage is that they blow up machines.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: On the night of the Harvest, Cordelia says that she is going to the Bronze - its a Friday. Strangely enough, everyone seems to be back at school the next day - a Saturday. (00:18:20 - 00:42:50)
Correction: There is nothing in the school scene after the Harvest stating that it is the following day. It could be the Monday.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: When Ben is being stalked by the demon while he's at his locker, he's wearing his medical clothing. Yet, moments later, when Glory grabs the demon from behind, she's back to her usual red dress and make up. If Ben and Glory were truly the same being in that moment, they would be wearing the same clothes, too.
Correction: In "Tough Love," Glory shows that she can change her clothes in an instant when her dress gets damaged in the fight with Willow and she replaces it. Same goes for makeup.

Smallville (2001)
Corrected entry: From various dates, ages, and bits of information given, we know that, at least in the first episode, everyone (everyone being Clark, Chloe, Lana, Pete, etc) is 15 years old. Do the producers really expect us to believe that they're 15 years old? Clark's played by a 24 year old for one...
Correction: Yes. This practice is used all the time, and people are often surprised to find out that their favorite actors are older than they thought.

Wrong Turn (2003)
Corrected entry: By the end of the film, Chris is wounded, tired, and should be very weak. Yet he managed to hold himself under the car for many miles. A normal man would have tired out so much that he couldn't do it, let alone a man wounded and exhausted.
Correction: Yes Chris did have alot of problems, but it is quite possible that he had an adrenaline rush. Human beings can possess super-human powers when faced with life-or-death situations.
Its also worth noting that the site rules to cover a movie mistake are quite clear on suspension of belief.

Wrong Turn (2003)
Corrected entry: In the house scene, a female voice says "Chris, I think we should leave." It's definitely a woman's voice - but whose? Carly and her fiance can both be heard talking at the same time, and Jess is in shot, her mouth not moving at all.
Correction: The voice is of Jessie. She is in the other room and she tells Chris that they should leave.

Farscape (1999)
Corrected entry: We have been told, time and time again, that Chiana is a near perfect liar. It had been her most trusted survival skill for half of her life. Yet, when she is talking to Aeryn about who the father of her baby is (the secret that she had spilled to D'Argo only moments earlier), why is she the most obvious and uncomfortable liar the show has possibly ever seen? And furthermore, Aeryn, as the ex-Peacekeeper, should be a very perceptive person, especially considering she worked with criminals and liars most days. Aeryn should have been able to pick up almost instantly on Chiana's obvious lying.
Correction: First of all, Aeryn is pregnant and not Chiana, and it was Aeryn that asked Chiana to keep a secret. Actually, Chiana's most trusted skill is her sexuality, as shown in the episode "Twice Shy," where each crew member attacked loses their strongest trait. Furthermore, she has been shown to be a horrible liar to the others because she can't keep a secret, mostly when it implicates her. As shown later in the episode, Aeryn telling Chiana was a moment of weakness on her part, and by the end, she had recovered. Aeryn also was a combat pilot and did not deal one on one with anyone but her own regiment or other assigned peacekeepers.

Farscape (1999)
Corrected entry: About a quarter of the way through the episode, three scenes repeat themselves. First Aerun talks to Chricton and says that she's "getting a bad bribe". Then Chricton talks to D'Argo, and is ordered back to the ship because D'Argo wants to show that he has some control. Then Chiana walks in on Sikozu and the Prince. After that, we repeat the Chricton and D'Argo scene, and then, in backwards order, the Chrichton / Aeryn scene - making a highly confusing 15 minutes of bad editing.
Correction: This is deliberate. Each time the scene is repeated it is shown through a different character's point of view and is slightly different. It is not the case of bad editing because the episode is about distorted perceptions, flashbacks and mind control.

I Shrink Therefore I Am - S4-E8
Corrected entry: Noranti floats outside Moya for what is, in Scape time, quite a few hours. If she were floating, untethered, in space for hours, I doubt very much that she would have stayed in "exactly" the same position in "exactly" the same place outside of Moya.
Correction: Moya generates her own gravity field. If Noranti was close enough, it would hold her near Moya.

X-Men: Evolution (2000)
Corrected entry: Where did Bobby get his X-Men uniform from? He wasn't wearing it under his clothes. And if the mansion was demolished, he had no way of getting it. Yet he appeared with it on.
Correction: He isn't wearing it until they steal the x-copter back. There were spare uniforms onboard, Cyclops changed at the same moment.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
The Freshman - S4-E1
Corrected entry: Several times throughout the show, we have seen that Angel - a vampire - cannot enter Buffy (and Willow's) dorm room on the college campus, due to the invites only rule for vampires. So how did Sunday's vampires get in to steal all of Buffy's things?
Correction: There are only two other times that we see vampires enter dorm rooms. Once was Spike (The Initiative), the other time was Angel (The Yoko Factor). Neither time is it made clear that the vampires CAN'T enter the room without an invite, but likely just wait for the invite out of habit. so it's entirely possible, since it's seen that school buildings are considered public, that vampires really don't need an invite to enter the rooms at all.

Cabin Fever (2002)
Corrected entry: Weed Guy ties his dog to the tree when he arrives at the cabin. When he leaves, he walks straight past the dog, not moving to touch it, and tells it to follow him - it does. How did the dog untie itself from the tree?
Correction: The weed guy leaves the group and turns around and tells his dog to 'come on' he then goes to bend down and untie the dog and just as he touches the rope the camera cuts to the group.

Cabin Fever (2002)
Corrected entry: It takes a dog a long time to eat one bone. So why, after such a short space of time, does the guy not see ANY of Marcy's remains except a foot? The dog couldn't have eaten all of her and her bones, or dragged her entire body into the woods before coming back to start on Karen. There should have been some bones at least lying around.
Correction: There was flesh and blood all over the ground in front of the cabin, the foot was just one of the large remains, also this is a flesh eating virus meaning that infected flesh would decompose fast. It's also possible that the dog would bury any larger parts for later.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: Part way through the "100 Agent Smiths" scene, Neo is just about to kick one of the Smiths. However, if you look closely, the Smith rises up vertically into the air long before Neo even lifts his head. Its only when Neo kicks him that he flies backwards out of shot. Bad wire work.
Correction: This is much too vague without a timecode. I couldn't spot anything matching that description.
13th Oct 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: A case of dodgy wire-work comes into play in Niobe's fighting scene at the power station. When she goes to kick one of the guards, she doesn't jump into the air as Trinity or other characters do - she is obviously pulled into the air. Watch closely and you'll notice.

Charmed (1998)
Corrected entry: Fair enough, Paige didn't get her witchly powers until she met her sisters and they vanquished Shax together. But not all of her powers are rooted in witchcraft - her orbing, at least, is rooted 100% in her whitelighter heritage. We saw that she orbed in the crash that killed her adopted parents - so why did it take her, conveniently, 21 years to find out she could orb?
Correction: Remember that at first Paige could only orb instinctively to escape from danger, and how often does that happen in everyday life? The car crash and the first time she used her powers to escape Shax were probably the only times she had ever used her power. Her later ability to orb anywhere, anytime, came from months of training.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: If the Keymaker is "meant" for all intents and purposes for deletion, and if "The One" is a never ending circle, ALWAYS meant to go to the source - how is The One supposed to get to the Source without the Keymaker? The deletion of the Keymaker would end the cycle, causing the machines to be left without human power, or would allow Zion to grow out of control.
Correction: The very act of targeting the Keymaker for deletion is what triggers the series of events we see in the film from the part at the Frenchman's house onwards. The Keymaker is targeted, but is never intended to be deleted until he has served his true purpose, to deliver Neo to the Architect.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: If only Seriph or the keymaker can open the "back doors" to the Matrix, with the special keys - why, and more importantly, how can the many Agent Smiths come through any and every available door at the end of the film? They need the right key to turn the locks. Every one of those Agents couldn't possibly have a key.
Correction: In the first matrix Morpheus explains that agents are 'guarding all the doors and holding all the keys' also that they can 'move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system'. Smith, who is now free from his programming as an agent, has the ability and 'freedom' if you will to further portray or freely execute the ability that agents have. Each clone is an exact duplicate of the original smith so each clone has that ability as well. They can easily gain access to anything they please, including the back doors that need 'special keys' being held by the keymaker and seraph.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: Throughout both the Matrix, and Reloaded, we see that it takes at least five seconds or more for a normal person to "transform" into an Agent. Yet on the Freeway chase, one Agent transforms from a human into an agent with his arm stretched out ready to fire in about a second, the time it takes to pass an obstruction.
Correction: Not quite so. On Matrix, when Neo is running away from agents, he runs thru some house department and gets thru a kitchen. There's an old woman with a kitchen knife on her hand, when Neo continues running he listens the knife hitting the door frame and when he turns back he sees an agent instead of the old lady. This transformation took also a fraction of a second. The Matrix can transform people into agents very fast indeed. We just don't know what affects the speed - possibly the weakness of the "host" mind.

Correction: Have a closer look. It is in the overhead shot, that the white wall way above the rectangular pink tiles is shot up, with multiple bullet holes. In the close-up shot of Marcus, we only see the pink tiled wall behind him, which has fewer bullet holes than the white wall that is higher up, over the pink tiles.
