Corrected entry: When Elizabeth Swann pretends to be Bootstrap Bill Turner's child, Elizabeth Turner, Barbossa slits her hand, so if that happened when Jack Sparrow and Barbossa are fighting, Will standing there with his hands tied up and Elizabeth comes in to save the day why is it that she has no bandage around her hand or at least a scab or scar?

Corrected entry: In the scene where Sparrow and Turner sword fight in the blacksmiths, after Sparrow cuts his chains in half, you can see when they're fighting he sometimes has it on, sometimes has it off. Very noticeable on the left hand. The excess chains also disappear in some shots.
Correction: I watched the entire scene frame by frame and this isn't true. It may look like the chains aren't there, but they are, as seen in individual frames and he always has the shackles on.
Corrected entry: When Jack Sparrow removes the coin from the chest at the end, he becomes cursed, but when Elizabeth removes it (when they cut her hand), she doesn't become cursed.
Correction: She NEVER removed the medallion from the chest. Barbossa grabbed it back up, when he realized the curse has not been lifted. He threw the coin with her, when he slapped her and knocked her down. Only when, 'someone removes any of the medallions directly from the chest, will they be cursed, until they put it back, with a bit of their blood.'
Corrected entry: In the scene where Capt. Jack Sparrow is holding Elizabeth at gunpoint, he obviously has a gun in his hands. Yet, when he turns and runs, he grabs the rope with both hands. You don't hear a gun fall and/or there wasn't enough time to put it into his belt.
Corrected entry: Right before Commodore Norrington proposes to Elizabeth you can see that the Cello players cello has no strings.
Correction: The strings on the cello can be seen right underneath the bow, as the shot just opens.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: At the end of the battle of helms deep, Gandalf arrives from the East to save the day just as he tells Aragorn he will earlier. However, quoting from the book: "Upon the east too shear and stony was the valley's side; upon the left, from the west, their final doom approached". Their final doom being Gandalf, Erkenbrand Lord of Westfold and a thousand men on foot. (01:25:55)
Correction: Although I understand the logic in what you're saying, nevertheless, many liberties were taken by the writers, in regard to following the letter of law from the book. Helm's Deep alone had many changes done. The Elves being there, Eomer not being there, and so forth. The fact that Gandalf approaches from the West in the book, is of little relevance to the movie, unfortunately. It isn't a mistake really.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie Sam and Frodo are at the top of Emyn Muil looking toward Mordor. The complete mountain range of Ered Lithui is visible, though the far end of the range is about 600 miles away and certainly wouldn't be visible from Emyn Muil.
Correction: Yes, Frodo and Sam are standing on Emyn Muil and they're looking SouthEast into the distance towards Mordor. The mountain range visible however, would be that of the Western tip of Ered Lithui (Ash Mountains) and the Northern tip of Ephel Duath (Mountains of Shadow). They come together at the Valley of Morannon, the Black Gate, which is where they are headed. The complete mountain range of Ered Lithui, which extends far to the East, is not shown.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: Extended edition only - When Merry and Pippin are looking for food after the flooding of Isengard, Pippin spots the apple and from the front he grabs from a bunch of 3 floating apples. Only when we see him grab the apple there is only one around, the one he grabbed.
Correction: The scene goes like this, as Merry says, "probably only dead rats and moldy bread," Pip turns to his left and sees a floating apple, the first of four that are floating to his left. He picks it up, we see some closeups including him looking up (remember Aragorn, FotR). The camera pans back out, and now we see the three from before, plus one more that's floating by, for a total of four floating plus the first one in his hand. There are no mistakes here.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Aragorn is saying to the Elves in Elvish: "Show them no mercy.....for you shall receive none," there is no rain falling on them, only in the background.
Correction: Not true... there are rain drops seen, even in slo-mo and the closeup, in front of the elves.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Legolas makes his unlikely grab-and-jump onto the horse with Gimli as the warg riders approach, he is seen to be mounting the horse behind Gimli. A few moments later, we see him expertly shooting down enemies from his position in front of Gimli on the horse. His mounting of the horse seems like an easy maneuvre compared to either forward flipping over the Dwarf or grabbing the Dwarf and tossing him over his head (which Gimli would have taken as an insult anyway).

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: If you pay close attention when the rain starts in the battle at Helm's Deep, the makeup on the elves is running. Legolas in particular, when he is readying his bow in the beginning, has a ring of white makeup near his hairline.
Correction: It is NOT a ring of white makeup, it's just all the rain droplets reflecting the light at the hairline and on the rest of the face. The makeup isn't running, it is the shiny water dripping down the faces of the Elves and men.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Frodo is pulled out of the water by Gollum/Sméagol, the Ring is missing for about three seconds.
8th Sep 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Frodo calls Gollum 'Smeagol' for the first time in The Dead Marshes, Gollum gets upset. Look around the two - the sky is quite dark, but in the next shot when they hear the winged Nazgul approaching, the sky is much lighter.
Correction: Just before that shot, Gollum says, "master should be resting," and all around Gollum is thick fog. When Frodo gets up and stands near Gollum, he asks, "who are you?," behind Frodo the sky is becoming lighter on the horizon. It is dawn. Because it's foggy, in the close up shots, you can't see the sky. Only when the camera pans out, as the Nazgul screams, you can see the sky.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Frodo has the top of his shirt unbuttoned his mithril armor is missing. (02:50:23)
Correction: When Frodo's top two buttons of his shirt are open throughout FotR and TTT, there are moments when you can easily see the Mithril, then moments where you can only catch a glimpse of it and sometimes you can't see it at all, depending on the position of his collar. The Mithril hangs down low on his chest, so it wouldn't always be discernible.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: Orlando Bloom had no stunt double.
Correction: This is not true. Though Orlando did do most of his own stunts, he did have a stunt double, named Morgan.
16th Nov 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: In the Warg battle scene, Gimli is being charged by a creature and Legolas shoots it for him. He yells out, "That one was mine." and is surprised by another behind him. He strikes it, and it falls on him. Look at the axe in the shot where they fall - the handle is facing the wrong direction.
Correction: No it is not. Gimli hacked at the Warg, swinging from his right shoulder into the top of the Warg's head and that's where the ax stays.
27th Aug 2001
The Art of War (2000)
Corrected entry: When Snipes and David Chan finally come face to face, Snipes literally drops in. Look closely and you will see a third person cowering and moving around a table between Snipes and Chan. At first you think this is David Chan's secretary but as the scene develops this unknown person simply disappears out of the scene.
Correction: When Snipes drops in on Chan's balcony, the older woman, who probably is Chan's secretary, simply leaves the balcony, when she sees Snipes' gun. Snipes isn't interested in her, he just wants Chan.
29th Aug 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: After Aragorn kisses Boromir right after he dies, he gets up and says something about how the tower guards of Ecthelion will look for his coming, but he will not come. Where is the 3rd arrow in Boromir's chest/stomach?
27th Aug 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: Gandalf (v/over): "We must walks over to Frodo and they watch Boromir sparring with the two other Hobbits. Pippin is wearing a white shirt and Merry is wearing a vest. Boromir is fighting with Pippind he says "Two, one, five. Good, very good." after he's done that short round with Pippin. Then he does a little fancy thing with his sword and turns to Merry. [You can identify Merry by his yellow vest] As Boromir fights with the hobbit, Merry moves backright shoulder near the camera, and then he disappears from view, all except his arm and his sword. Then the shot moves to Aragorn, with his pipe who says "Move your feet." The rhythm of the clanking swords continues without break but after the camera moves away from Aragorn, Boromir is suddenly fighting with Pippin again. Then Merry says "You look good Pippin." You can also tell that it changed from Merry to Pippin, because Merry's sleeves are larger/puffier that Pippin's and they are also longer. (00:05:25)
Correction: Go back and advance that scene shot by shot and you will see that you are wrong. Boromir twirls his sword and only looks at Merry, but continues to fight with Pippin. It is Pippin's shoulder, arm and sword that are shown close up, fighting with Boromir. Pippin has a white shirt, that has a decorative color thread running through it on the cuffs and on the front of the shirt. Pippin is fighting with Boromir the whole time, until Merry says, "You look good, Pippin," at which point Boromir starts to fight with Merry.

Bringing Down the House (2003)
Corrected entry: When Aaron picks up Sarah, he's wearing a red plaid shirt, but when he passes her at the party, he's wearing a green and gray striped shirt.
Correction: Aaron is wearing two different shirts because it is two different nights.
Correction: Will is not tied up anymore, when Elizabeth comes to join him in fighting the pirates and she IS wearing the cloth around her hand during this entire scene.
