Corrected entry: When Snape arrives to the meeting with the Death Eaters, there are two empty chairs next to each other but from alternate angles it is clear that the chairs on either side of Snape are full.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Corrected entry: In the meeting at the police station with among others Chief Lutz and the mayor you see part of technical equipment in the top left corner of the screen - several times."
Correction: What you keep seeing at the top of the screen is not the filming crew's equipment, it's the bottom of the police monitors that hang directly over the conference table. When Rosewood shows Axel the shell casings (before Axel does his Johnny Wishbone thing), we can see those monitors over the conference table.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Corrected entry: In the jewelery store the front door is locked by the employee at gun point. When Karla leaves she simply pushes the door open and walks out.
Correction: Actually, after the chandelier falls, Karla fires her gun (we see and hear her do it) at the front door's lock, before pushing the door open and walking out.

Bad Boys II (2003)
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)
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.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: When Sam, Mikaela and Leo are running from Alice outside the library, Mikaela's shoes are in her hand when running down the stairs, but in the following shot her shoes are back on her feet.
Correction: Yes, the shoes are in Mikaela's hand as she runs down the stairs on campus, but the "following shot" does not take place during the very next moment in real time. In that "following shot", she, Sam and Leo are in a different area of the campus quad, so between those two shots there was ample time for her to slip on her shoes if she chose to, off-camera.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: In Egypt, after Sgt. Epps mentions that the jets will target the orange smoke, you see everyone running away from the smoke in slow motion. Sam is holding the sock with the disintegrated Matrix in his left hand. In different shots as he is running away, the sock switches to his to right hand and then back to his left hand.
Correction: When they begin running (and it isn't in slow motion) the sock is in Sam's right hand and remains in his right hand until the shot where Megatron appears behind Sam. However, it's still not a continuity mistake, because between the shot of the sock in his right hand and then the sock being in his left hand there is a shot of Mikaela, during which there is time for Sam to simply switch hands.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: When Sam is supposedly dead, it shows him walking into a bright light while talking to Autobots. It shows Sam's pinky and ring finger wrapped up in a bandage, but a couple of seconds later the bandage has changed to wrapping Sam's middle and ring fingers.
Correction: It never shows Sam's pinky and ring finger wrapped in a bandage. When the Primes speak to Sam the bandage on his hand remains consistent, wrapped around his middle and ring fingers, leaving his pinky and index finger free.
19th Dec 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: When Sam and Mikaela are running towards the soldiers, as Lennox rushes to help them, he runs right past a cameraman.
Correction: You're mistaken. Major Lennox does not run past a cameraman.
10th Jan 2003
Big Fat Liar (2002)
Corrected entry: Towards the end, when Marty Wolf is chasing after Jason and Kaylee, he spots an empty buggy nearby and races toward it. There are a few people standing in front of it and he pushes them out of the way as he hops in. In the next shot (which is a long shot of the scene), Marty begins to drive off, but the people that he just pushed out of the way have disappeared.
Correction: Marty pushes one man and one woman aside, jumps into the golf cart, and in the next shot as he shouts, "I'm coming Funnybones," the perplexed woman is seen walking from the left of the screen (the man is out of shot) towards Marty, who is driving away in the cart. No continuity error here.

Big Fat Liar (2002)
Corrected entry: Towards the beginning of the movie, Jason is seen riding his skateboard on a leaf-covered sidewalk, implying that it is autumn. But since he fails English he has to go to summer school, which makes the season the early summer.
Correction: At the start of the movie, the ground is covered in leaves, and also note that the characters are wearing jackets, knit caps, sweaters and other cold weather apparel, so yes, it is in fact fall. When Ms. Caldwell is speaking with Jason and his parents she explains that the essay counts as 1/3 of his final grade and without it he will fail the course and repeat the class in summer school. After she agrees to give him one chance to make it up, when he doesn't make the 6:00pm deadline with the missing essay his fate is sealed. By the time he starts summer school (note everyone's summery clothing now) 6-7 months have passed, and in that time the movie Marty had been in Jason's hometown shooting months earlier has been cut, edited and is now set for its premiere.
16th Jan 2010
Troy (2004)
Corrected entry: When Hector removes his helmet right after Achilles does (during their fight scene), you can see the nose bridge and flanks of his helmet move in an obvious rubbery way.
Correction: This mistake has already been noted.
4th Jan 2010
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Cedric is going to put his name in the goblet you can see lots of tape markings on the floor right below the actual "ageline" that was drawn by Dumbledore and there's a lot of them. (00:28:55)
Correction: I'm afraid you're mistaken. When Cedric places his name into the goblet, the "markings" you see are the many magical symbols/characters on the stone floor that encircle the goblet's base, under the misty age line - it's about 4-5 feet from the goblet's base (on all sides) to the magical circle's perimeter. A few minutes later, after Fred and George drink the potion, in the overhead shot as they jump off the bench, we see an even better view of all those many markings.
31st Dec 2009
The Proposal (2009)
Corrected entry: After the jilted wedding, Andrew walks into the bedroom and finds the wedding dress with nothing on it. In the shot where he reaches for his manuscript, the heir-loom necklace is lying on the dress next to the left sleeve. It disappears in the next shot. (01:34:05)
Correction: Look more carefully. The necklace chain is visible at the lower left corner of the screen. The shot of him picking up the manuscript shows the dress lower down, so the necklace can be seen more clearly.
4th Jan 2010
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Corrected entry: When Harry and Ron talk in the bedroom, Harry is watching Draco where he goes with the special map of Hogwarts, the name of Draco on the map is misspelled Malpoy.
Correction: No, it most certainly does not. The style of the font used for the all-capitalized "MALFOY" has a decorative flourish at the end of all the letters' (except "O") lines. The "F" you're seeing may seem like a "P" to you, but it is truly an "F".
2nd Jun 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: In the Ballet Studio, when James bites Bella's left arm, there is nothing on it, but, when Edward is sucking the venom out, there is a bracelet. Look at her arm when James bites it, then you'll first notice it just after Edward throws James against the mirror. (01:38:50 - 01:41:15)
Correction: Have another look. Bella is indeed wearing the narrow silver cuff bracelet (open back with two ends) when James bites her. As her palm is facing up, one end of the cuff bracelet is beside his mouth and the other end is visible beside his ring finger. The cuff bracelet may be easy to miss because the open back is at the center of her wrist, and it's rather dimly lit.
29th Sep 2006
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)
Corrected entry: When Bridget and Eric are racing, they run into a place on the beach where they are enclosed on three sides by large rock walls. In the next shot Bridget is lying on the sand and then a wave comes into view, right where the left rock wall was in the previous shot.
Correction: They are not "enclosed on three sides" and the "left rock wall" doesn't vanish. In the first shot, as they reach the end of the seven mile run, we see the water off to the left even before the next close-up in which the wave rushes up onto the beach. No inconsistencies regarding the rocks and tide.
30th Apr 2008
The Simpsons Movie (2007)
Corrected entry: During the Green Day concert, Edna Krabapple sits on Skinner and takes up the sweater that says "Not my boyfriend," but when Green Day is done singing "Da Da Da," they are not there anymore. (00:02:55)
Correction: They are to the left of where the wider shot cuts off - the entire audience is NOT visible in that wider shot. We have to presume that they are still in the audience, but we just cannot see them in that wider shot.
23rd Jun 2003
Big Fat Liar (2002)
Corrected entry: When Marty is first getting ready for the beginning of the movie shoot, he is holding up clothes and he is still blue with orange hair. In the next scene when he is going to the limo, he tells Monty he was up all night with a scrub brush and a can of turpentine. The scene with him picking out the outfit was in the morning, so if he was up all night, wouldn't he have already cleaned the blue and orange off?
Correction: You're mistaken about the timing/sequence of events. When Monty relieves Rocco (who has been "babysitting" Kaylee and Jason) it is still the night before the first day of the movie shoot. It's at this point it begins to cut back and forth between shots of blue-Marty (and Mr. Funnybones), who begins his quest of the perfect outfit for the next morning, and shots of Jason and Kaylee, who only just begin their instruction of the "troops". In the final shots of blue-Marty and Jason, when they both say, "It's showtime," it is still nighttime, each still has more work to do that night which we needn't see onscreen - Jason needed to go through specific details of the plan with the group and blue-Marty "spent half the night with a scrub brush and a can of turpentine". In fact, the last outfit we see blue-Marty trying on is not the outfit he is actually wearing the next morning, when Frank picks him up.
7th Sep 2009
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Corrected entry: When the Sanderson Sisters first return to the house, Sister Sarah reaches up and finds her lucky rat tail just where she left it. It's been 300 years; the rat tail would have decomposed in that amount of time. It has been suggested that since she is a witch, she could have put a resistant spell on it. But we did not see her do that in the movie, and if we do not see it, we cannot use it to explain away the mistake. That "logic" could be used to explain away many of the mistakes caught by the audience.
Correction: You state, "if we do not see it, we cannot use it to explain away the mistake." That's rubbish. In *certain* circumstances that's precisely what we the viewers must do - not everything must be seen onscreen. Sarah says, "My lucky rat tail! Just where I left it!" The fact is, in this particular instance, it actually makes perfect sense that the witch would have used a protective charm/spell on what she claims to be her lucky rat tail, so no harm would come to it.
Correction: Super Grover is right. Just because we don't see them do it isn't an excuse. In fact, we never saw her put the rat tail there (nor did she even mention it), and by that logic it would be a movie mistake for her just to have reached up and taken it. Watching any movie requires viewers to use a bit of their imagination or suspend disbelief but even more so in fantasy based films like this one.
31st Aug 2009
Transformers (2007)
Corrected entry: When Sam leaves his house on the pink bike and his car follows him, a set of car tracks from a previous take are already visible on the lawn.
Correction: Bumblebee's tire tracks could have occurred at any time prior to Sam leaving on his mom's bike, such as when Sam followed Bumblebee on his own bike the night before, or when Bumblebee came back that morning to "stalk" Sam, before Sam left the house. This is not a mistake.
