Corrected entry: During the first task, Harry hides behind a boulder; the Horntail shoots some rather substantial fire at the boulder, which glows from the heat, but none of that heat seems to affect Harry, who's right against the glowing rock. (00:59:25)

The Parent Trap (1998)
Corrected entry: After the poker game at camp, when Annie is naked and about to jump into the lake, she has left her locket on. There is plenty of moonlight out, so Hallie could easily notice that Annie has the same locket as her, yet there is no indication of her seeing it.
Correction: Though there is "plenty of moonlight" it hardly constitutes a plot hole, just because Hallie does not take notice of a locket round Annie's neck.
Correction: There was moonlight, but she was too far away to see it.

The Karate Kid Part II (1986)
Corrected entry: When Miyagi returns home and Chozen orders his friends to attack, a few shots later Miyagi catches Daniel when Chozen throws him in Miyagi's direction, and Miyagi helps Daniel to the ground twice. (Slow-mo is required.) (01:17:05)
Correction: If something requires slow motion to view, it is invalidated as per the rules of this site, unless it is something such as a crew member or equipment in frames.

Air Force One (1997)
Corrected entry: When the terrorist shoot into the 3 bathroom doors (they think Harrison Ford is in one of them), the bullet holes aren't aligned with the shots in the doors after they open the doors.
Correction: When facing the door, as the terrorist fires, the trajectory of every individual bullet distinctively differs, so when each bullet goes through the door it ends up in a different position on the wall inside.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Wood is discussing how his team will practice harder, long, etc., he then says, "I don't believe it," as the Slytherin team comes into view. To his right while he was saying this is a huge wall and the Slytherins were coming from the right as well. How could he have seen them before he made this comment?
Correction: When Wood, Harry and the Gryffindors are walking up the exterior corridor, to their *left* there are open window-type archways, including the doorway through which they walk. It is to Wood's left that he would easily see Flint and the other Slytherins wearing their Quidditch uniforms, as they appear from their corridor (also with open archways) just as they step onto grass, across the courtyard. Once Wood walks through the doorway, he now faces towards his right to confront Flint.

Stand By Me (1986)
Corrected entry: Just a spelling mistake. In the film, the dead kid the group find is called 'Ray Brower' and if you want proof, put the film on subtitles. In the DVD of the movie, in the small booklet, where the scene selections are listed for chapter 25 it says 'The rest of Ray Bower.'
Correction: A spelling mistake in the DVD booklet is not a film mistake, not even a minor one.

The Matrix (1999)
Corrected entry: When we see Trinity kick a cop and that cop falls into another cop, then they both hit the wall, if you slow it down, you can actually see they hit the wall twice. (00:02:55)
Correction: The necessary use of slow motion invalidates mistakes such as these, unless the frames reveal something such as a crewmember in shot.
14th Aug 2005
The Matrix (1999)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when Trinity sees the telephone box, there is a large lamp-post that she runs past, yet when you slow it down, she's in line with the post not in front of it from the previous shot, also if you pause it or slow it down, you can actually see that the path she just run down has shortened somewhat. (00:05:10)
Correction: The necessary use of slow motion invalidates mistakes such as these, unless the frames reveal something such as a crewmember in shot.
8th Sep 2005
The Matrix (1999)
Corrected entry: At the very beginning of the film when we see Trinity kick the chair at a cop, it knocks him back a bit and the chair falls to the ground, yet when the scene cuts to a different cop who is just about to fire upon Trinity if you pause or slow it down you can again see the chair flipping over and heading towards this second cop. (00:03:00)
Correction: The necessary use of slow motion invalidates mistakes such as these, unless the frames reveal something such as a crewmember in shot.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: If you have the DVD of X Men 2, in the scene where Rogue falls out of the jet, right after the shot where Bobby yells out "Rogue" the camera shot moves to Logan who Shouts "No" (If you have the DVD) slow the movie down by 1/2 or a 1/4 and as you watch, you will see Logan look strait into the camera as soon as he turns around. (01:08:10)
Correction: When Logan turns and briefly glances toward the camera lens, it can be presumed that he is simply glancing at the area of the camera as if the camera is not there.

War of the Worlds (2005)
Corrected entry: At the very end, when Tom's son appears and they hug, there is no explanation whatsoever as to how he survived the explosion that engulfed him earlier. When he runs over the hill all we see is fire rising into the sky, incinerating anything that was near. It is impossible for any normal person to have survived a blast of that magnitude.
Correction: Just because there is no explanation offered in the film, does not mean it doesn't fall within the realm of possibility. Yes, there is a huge fireball at the top of the hill, but obviously Robbie had just barely made it past that specific area, before it was consumed by fire.

King Kong (2005)
Corrected entry: On the island when Driscoll tells Denham he's going back for the girl, he says something like, "Leave the gate open for us." But the gate is in the 1933 version. It's a drawbridge in the new version.
Correction: When he says "gate" he is referring to the two huge doors, not the drawbridge.

3 Ninjas (1992)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the mom is going out, and is talking to the boys before she leaves, she is putting in her earrings. As she turns to leave one of her earrings falls out.
Correction: If the earring reappeared in the next few shots, there would be a mistake, but as it stands this isn't a mistake; earrings fall out, it happens.

Lost (2004)
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Corrected entry: Kate got whacked by her accomplice on her left cheek, but when she goes out into the main part of the bank a little bit later, her right cheek is bruised.
Correction: While Kate is in the office, we see her being struck on the left side, which leaves a bruise on the left side of her lip. Then it cuts away to the main bank area, just before the door to the office opens, when Kate comes out with more bruising on the right side. Time has passed between the two shots, and it was during that time that Kate received more bruises to be more convincing as a supposed victim. We do not need to see it onscreen to know that this occurred.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Corrected entry: People float in water. Therefore, when Harry undid the rope around Ron's foot in the Black Lake task, Ron should have floated upwards, however slowly, because Harry didn't swim back towards the surface for some time afterwards.
Correction: The four "captives" were put to sleep with a magic spell(s) that allows them to stay alive while underwater, so part of the power of the spell actually keeps them submerged. The binds around their ankles merely hold them in place and are for the task's rescue porposes. Even at the very end of the task, when Harry nears the surface with Ron and Gabrielle, he gives them a push to float up, before the Grindylow attack him.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: The parting of Merry and Pippin takes place within two or three days after the Isengard battle. In the aftermath of Isengard they find one barrel each filled with pipeweed, yet when Merry says goodbye to Pippin all that is left is a small pouch. There is no way they could have smoked all that pipe weed in just a few days; it was month's worth.
Correction: Pipe weed from the Shire was lauded to be the best, and most coveted, so quite realistically Merry and Pip shared their good fortune with Gandalf (even Saruman confirms Gandalf's desire in FOTR), Gimli, Aragorn and the rest. Aside from that, those two Halflings could indeed have smoked non-stop after having gone without for a long time; Hobbits are known for their predilection for the pipe weed.
2nd Jan 2006
Four Brothers (2005)
Corrected entry: The insurance man advises that he is from "State Farm Insurance", but the check that is deposited later says "Mutual State Insurance".
Correction: An insurance company may have different subsidiaries with different names, that are licensed to operate under those names in different states; this is not unheard of.
Corrected entry: Regarding Aslan's revival because he was an 'innocent who sacrificed himself', if he knew he was going to be revived, it wasn't much of a sacrifice, was it?
Correction: On the contrary, for Aslan to willingly offer himself to suffer humiliation and pain took great courage and steadfast faith on his part. It was only through that faith that he had the firm belief he would return. This is not a plot hole.
Corrected entry: After the children encounter and receive gifts from Father Christmas, Susan says to Peter: "Just because some man in a red suit hands you a sword doesn't make you a hero." But Father Christmas had been dressed all in brown.
Correction: This is Susan's error, not the film's, and considering her frame of mind at the time she said that, it's not surprising.
27th Dec 2005
The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie there is a scene where Joe is sleeping in his car and little boys throw a dead squirrel inside the car. When the camera goes back from Joe to the boys, one of them flickers a glance at the camera.
Correction: When a character happens to glance at the camera lens it is treated as if the camera is not there - so the character is really only looking at that 'empty' area, which coincidentally is that of the camera's position.
Correction: Harry just barely makes it behind the large round boulder as the flame appears. Once behind it, the boulder's size prevents any harm from the Horntail's flames, including its intense direct heat, and the large boulder does not "glow" on the other side, where Harry sits.
