Corrected entry: When the cast is sent back to ancient Egypt and after Arnold Vosloo and Patricia Velasquez have killed the king and she urges Imhotep to go. You can see at the bottom left hand corner, her arm from the present come into the scene but it is smaller than normal. Someone didn't get the timing right.

The Mummy Returns (2001)
Corrected entry: When Rick climbs the bridge and sees the bad guys speed off down the left side of the road. A car is approaching in that lane and swerves into its own left lane to avoid it. That means the car was driving on the right side of the road...in London.
Correction: The other car approaches in its left lane, swerves right to the median to avoid the oncoming kidnap vehicle, then swerves left back into its original lane while the kidnap car begins on its right lane and crosses the median to travel properly in the left lane. It sounds complicated because of the diagonals, but it just means that both drivers were reacting to each other and moving toward their own lanes.

The Transporter (2002)
Corrected entry: How does the pilot of the plane know to greet Frank in English and not French?
Correction: Frank greets him in English first, so he responds in kind.

The Transporter (2002)
Corrected entry: In the oil fight scene after Frank takes the pedals off the bike, he throws the bike at the guys he is fighting in the oil. When Frank fights them, what happens to the bike? It disappears.
Correction: No, it doesn't. When Frank steps into the oil on the pedals, it can be seen lying on the far side, beyond a thug. In the following shot with Frank in the middle of the circle, the bike is in the foreground.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: In the beginning when the blonde-haired ex convict was in the tunnel surveying the sharks, the sharks co-ordinated an attack in which they both hit the tunnel in the same second. How could they have done this? Becoming smarter does not give them the ability to communicate.
Correction: No, but being smarter might allow one to observe the other's preparation to attack, predict the attack, and work in tandem in order to secure a piece of the kill. Intelligence advanced enough would allow them to follow a predictive logical process and act on their conclusions.

The Mask of Zorro (1998)
Corrected entry: When Zorro kicks Captain Love down the dirt path to the heater room, if you look carefully, it is that the captain loses his sword and it lays on the ground behind him. The next time it shows him, he has it again.
Correction: There is a metal bar on the ground, but it's not his sword - pause shows that he still has that in his right hand.
Correction: It was the scabbard to his sword.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: The sharks cut the electricity for the lights when they were trying to catch Carter. However, when the helicopter comes Brenda is using a spotlight.
Correction: They probably could only attack the circuit to the underwater lights; in the surface shots when Whitlock is being loaded into the helicopter, lights are visible around the perimeter.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: Just before the two sharks simultaneously attack Carter while he is diving through the underwater cage-like corridor with his harpoon we see the rest of the crew monitoring this with the help of tree monitors displaying the pictures of the underwater cameras in the cages (later destroyed by the sharks). The view on the left screen is taken from a camera that keeps moving backwards while Carter swimming towards it. This displayed shot can't be taken by one of the fixed observation cameras.
Correction: The camera isn't moving backwards, the tech is switching the feed from one camera to another farther down.

The Mask of Zorro (1998)
Corrected entry: When Antonio is fighting Catherine, her hair is not in the right position to cover her boobs but when he cuts her dress off it is.
Correction: At first, her hair is twisted over her right shoulder. It works loose during the fight; some falls over her left shoulder when she attacks Antonio in the straw and spreads relatively evenly.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the cook is trapped by the shark, the water in the kitchen is about waist-high. When Preacher jumps out of the oven, the shark turns to get him and you see that the shark is completely underwater. Those sharks are supposed to be really big, so you should at least see the fin when it's underwater.
Correction: The water surface and the fin are offscreen in that shot, so it's impossible to say that the fin is not showing. Furthermore, in almost every other shot, the fin is shown above water.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Corrected entry: When Donnie and Gretchen are on Carpathian Ridge talking about Grandma Death, Donnie appears to sit down on the green couch behind him. In the long shot of them both, he's sitting in a normal chair with a high back; even if he had sat down in the chair, the back still would have been visible.
Correction: He is sitting on the couch, but the angle of the chair and the fact that he is sitting crooked make it sort of look like he is in the chair in the long shot. The depth is off, though.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
I Was Made To Love You - S5-E15
Corrected entry: In "I Was Made To Love You" Spike mentions that Warren's mother invited him in, but we see it's daylight outside. Would she really have invited a man huddled under a blanket and smouldering slightly into her home just like that?

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Corrected entry: When Mercedes first shows Edmond the string on her finger after their separation, the string is wrapped twice around her finger. The next time the string is shown on her finger, it only circles it once.
Correction: In the second shot, when she is in bed, one strand crosses diagonally over the other. Hence the confusion.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1
Corrected entry: In Welcome to the Hellmouth when Buffy is looking for the vampire with Willow, she snaps a leg off a chair. However, when she tries to stake Cordelia with it, it has magically turned into a proper stake.
30th Jun 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: In 'Becoming' when Buffy leaves to meet Angelus in the graveyard she takes Kendra's stake, Mr. Pointy, with her. Later on that night when she slays a vampire outside her house she uses a totally different stake.
8th Oct 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: Willow had a head trauma, and a big bandage on the front of her head. Problem with that is when the bookcase fell on her it never hit her head, far from it in fact. If she did injure her head the injury would be on the back of her head, from where she hit the floor.
27th Aug 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: Third season, Episode 3ABB13-The Zeppo-Jack says that he couldn't raise his dead friends earlier because he "had to wait 8 months for the stars to align," but he died three weeks ago and his grandfather raised him the same night.
Correction: Jack says he was dead less than ten minutes - perhaps that affects the necessary conditions for the spell.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo fights three agents intruding Captain's meeting he is flipping around a pole and kicking the big bad guy. However, the agent's body begins twitching in the air well before the kick is actually delivered.
30th Oct 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: When the chancellor's speech is completed at Zion, he is about to introduce Morpheus. The audio dubbing is a split second off, you can hear the crowd start their massive cheering before he even made the introduction.
Correction: The crowd is anticipating based on the first syllable the chancellor pronounced - it sounds weird, but it's very common with popular speakers at large events, where the first name is heard and the last is drowned out.
7th Nov 2003
X-Men (2000)
Corrected entry: After Wolverine spins round one of the prongs on the Statue of Liberty and the end falls off, there is a shot looking up the statue, in which it has all the prongs intact.
Correction: It's hard to see, but the fourth prong from the right is missing its tip.

Correction: That's actually a shot of the pool that present-day Imhotep and Anck-su-namun are sitting in front of which Imhotep is using to show Anck images of the past. Hard to recognize, but the wavery nature of the image projected onto the water gives it away.
