Corrected entry: Take a close look at Will's face just before Jack sprays him with soot during their fight. If you pause the movie you can see that Will's face is already dirty, probably from a previous take.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: Eomer shoots an arrow at an Oliphaunt. In the first shot, front view, it is missing nearly its entire right tusk (it shows a bloody stump). In the shot from the rear view, it has an intact right tusk as it falls. (This scene occurs immediately after the one in which Eowyn & Merry charge at, hack at, and down an Oliphaunt).
Correction: In the side back shot, only the two small bottom tusks, the long top left tusk and the Mumak's trunk (which may be mistaken for the long right tusk in the quick shot) is clearly seen. We do not see the long right tusk on the other side of the trunk, as it is a short stump.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: When Théoden is knocked under his horse by the Witch-King, it's obvious that the Fell Beast is attacking so Théoden is looking down at him, with the horse's legs pointing at the Fell Beast, yet after Éowyn destroys the Witch-King and Théoden passes away, we see a wide-shot of the whole scene. Éowyn's discarded helmet and the remains of the Witch-King are positioned at Théoden's head rather than feet. The attack all took part below Théoden, so how did everything shift to above his.
Correction: Wrong. After Theoden dies, there is a wide shot of the area and the helmet near Theoden's head is his (use zoom if necessary) not Eowyn's. Plus the Witch King's remains are not near Theoden's head in this shot either.

Aladdin (1992)
Corrected entry: Sultan is concerned that Jasmine find a suitor before her eighteenth birthday because "He isn't getting any younger". He seems to be 70 years old in the movie. (Disney had no official "age" for Sultan.) The law stated that a Princess must marry a Prince before her eighteenth birthday. Jasmine is now just shy of 18 years old herself. So Jasmine's mother must have married the Sultan when she was seventeen years old to follow the letter of the law and the Sultan was fifty two years old? And that presumes that they had conceived Jasmine the first year they were married. (Sultan's 70 years minus Jasmine's apparent current age of 18 is 52 years old). Well, as Sultan said himself, "Her mother wasn't nearly so picky".
Correction: It is not unrealistic or inconceivable for a young woman who is coming of age, to be betrothed to a middle aged or even elderly man, if that man stems from the proper family that the parents approve of. In many societies the 'match' is made by the parents when the young girl is but a young child, and the girl has no say in the matter. Jasmine, being both independent and stubborn challenges this law.

Peter Pan (2003)
Corrected entry: In the pan across the London rooftops at the beginning, there are two Big Bens.
Correction: Only one Big Ben is shown at the opening of the film when there is an overhead pan of London. In this shot there are a three steeples seen. The one in the center in the distance has the appearance of Big Ben. The one to the right is a church, as it has a cross at the top. The one to the left is a steeple with straight sides and gives the appearance of being another church.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: In the shot where Frodo is hanging in Shelobs web struggling to escape you can tell that he has shoes on.
Correction: No, he is not wearing shoes. It is the outline of the ankle straps for the attached stunt wire, which is already noted.
Corrected entry: In the scene where the Black Pearl and the Interceptor are battling head to head, the crew of the Interceptor have just dumped all their cannon balls and weaponry into the ocean to lighten their load, but when it shows Jack Sparrow sitting in the brig of the Pearl, a cannon ball blows through his cell and he shouts, "Stop blowin' holes in my ship." Where did they get cannon balls all of a sudden?
Correction: A cannon ball did not make that hole. It's just as Gibbs says, "Case shot, langrage (which is shot that consisted of bolts and other pieces of iron), nails, and crushed glass!" They also inserted forks, knives, and spoons into the cannons. The force of the cannon fire propelled these things with enough strength to blast a hole in the wood. If you look at the brig cell that Jack exits, you will see a varied assortment of utensils embedded all around him.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: On the DVD, in the scene where Gandalf is driving the carriage (with Frodo and Bilbo on board), in the zoomed out shot you can see four hobbits riding on ponies. There should only be three. Since Frodo is in the carriage, that would only leave Sam, Merry, and Pippen. These are the only hobbits going along, since they are the only ones at the harbor.
Correction: In the overhead shot, we hear Frodo's voiceover as Gandalf arrives in the wagon, and all four Hobbits are on the ponies. It then cuts to Gandalf's close-up. Next is a long shot, as we hear Bilbo's voiceover say, "Tell me again, lad, where are we going," and the four ponies have only three riders, one of the ponies is riderless, with Frodo inside the wagon with Bilbo. Use zoom, it is very clear.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: As Legolas walks along the top of the oliphant about to fire three arrows into its head, he draws his three arrows twice, once before and once after the camera change.
Correction: No. In the close-up his face twists up in anger at the Mumak and draws the first arrow. In the next shot from above, as he walks on top of the animal he places that arrow into his left hand and draws two more from behind, then puts the three together at the bow.

28 Days (2000)
Corrected entry: When Gwen and Jasper are taking a cab to the wedding, the cab is first yellow, then green.
Correction: Like the existing correction for a similar mistake, the first is a yellow taxi in Manhattan that they take to the train. Then Gwen and Jasper are on a train, looks like the LIRR and we hear in voiceover, Gwen saying, "Thank God for bar cars (on the train)." Then we see them in a green taxi at the church in the suburbs. The taxi drivers we see are completely different too.
2nd Apr 2004
28 Days (2000)
Corrected entry: When Gwen and Jasper drive up to the church for the wedding, Gwen gets out on the left side of the car when she was really on the right.
Correction: It is two different cabs. The first, is a yellow cab in Manhattan, that drives them to the train, where she says, "Thank God for bar cars." The second green cab took them from the train to the church.

Clambake (1967)
Corrected entry: After a late afternoon ride away from Miami Beach on Elvis' motorcycle, he and Shelley Fares stop at a deserted beach to watch the sun set over the water. Unfortunately, Miami Beach faces east and the sun sets in the west.
Correction: Don't confuse Miami with Miami Beach. South Miami Beach had beach at both its eastern and western shores, the eastern shore being more popular due to its profusion of hotels. Also, we don't know how far they drove, so they could even have ended up at Key Biscayne (it fits with the lighthouse seen in some shots), which also had western facing beach area to watch a lovely sunset.

Just Married (2003)
Corrected entry: Tom gets hit in the eye by a heavy ashtray. It leaves a large, visible purple mark, yet for the rest of the movie, there is no sign of an injury, not even a small bruise.
Correction: The ashtray leaves a reddish bruise, not a large visible purple one, on his right cheek near his eye. The bruise is there in the jail, airport and airplane.

Just Married (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene right after Tom sees Sarah kiss her ex boyfriend from the balcony, Sarah and Tom are arguing in their room. In one shot, you don't see the red bra (the girl from the bar's) on the chair in the background, next shot it's there.
Correction: Wendy's red bra is seen hanging on the chair in every shot showing that particular chair.
27th Aug 2003
Just Married (2003)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, when Tom is playing football on the beach with his friends (before the two meet), it shows Sarah walking with her dog in a pink sweater. Then it cuts to a different angle and shows her in the background without the dog and in a darker sweater. Then, when the football is about to hit her, she has the dog and first sweater back.
Correction: The woman in the background as Kyle is tackled onto the sand is not Sarah, she is just a woman walking on the beach wearing a short sleeve red shirt, big hat, and shorts. Sarah wears a light pink sweater with long sleeves and has Bags, her dog, on the leash in every single shot that is shown of her.
Corrected entry: When the Interceptor is trying to escape the Black Pearl, there's a shot of Barbosa from behind. Over his shoulder, there is a pirate dancing quite excitedly on the stern of the ship.
Correction: In the two shots over Barbossa's shoulder, who is himself at the stern of the Black Pearl, the pirate that is seen 'dancing' is actually hopping on one leg on the bow of the Pearl. He is not wearing his wooden leg in these shots. This pirate is portrayed by an individual who really is missing a leg.
Corrected entry: The black, dread-locked pirate with the white cross on his face loses his arm to the Governor in the assault on the Dauntless. The Governor then continues to fight with this dismembered arm, but we later see the same Pirate with two arms when Norrington joins the attack. Am I right, or does a different Pirate lose his arm? And why does no one continue to fight with Swan after after he lops off their arm.
Correction: It is not Koehler's arm that Governor Swann hacks off, it is another unknown pirate's arm. The other pirates are distracted as they fight with the Marines aboard Dauntless and trying to fend off Norrington and his men who are approaching Dauntless from the boats in the water.
Corrected entry: When Jack walks off the plank he has shoes on, when he's swimming down to the bottom of the ocean he doesn't, and when his toe hits a rock he does.
Correction: This is wrong. As 'Jack' (Tony Angelotti) swims down, the silhouette of his boots, especially the top of his boots, are seen. The boots in this shot have a very low heel.

Miss Congeniality (2000)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Gracie-Lou is walking onto the bus on her way to the orientation breakfast, you can clearly see two people, a man and a woman, on the left side of the screen, waving at the camera. (00:35:27)
Correction: The woman in the floral dress and male teenager are simply waving to a contestant on the bus, it's done deliberately. When Gracie is on the bus, two shots later, these same two people can still be seen waving outside behind the bus. These two particular extras can also be seen walking in the background in a few shots, when Gracie gets out of the taxi. This is not a case of civilians waving at the movie camera.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Aragorn says "you have some skill with a blade" inside the Golden Hall, there are two guys setting a table in the background. The next time you see the table, there's nothing on it.
Correction: The table is not being 'set'. The tapestry is being spread across the table in order to fold it properly. If you look in the background things are being put away all around, in preparation of their absence in Edoras and immediate departure and journey to Helm's Deep.
Correction: Seen frame by frame, in the first shot facing Jack, when Will's back is seen, Jack grabs the bag of soot, starts to squeeze it towards Will and plenty of soot begins to pour out into the air already. As the next shot opens, this time facing Will, there is soot in the air making this shot hazy and a large puff of soot right in front of him, so the soot has already started to settle on his face and body, and in the next frame more soot blankets him.
