Corrected entry: After the Japanese businessman was on his phone, he runs to a nearby gate trying to escape the ice storm. He grabs the gate with both hands empty. After he is knocked out by the ice, a closeup shows his phone sliding out of his hand.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: Near the end of the film the wheelchair-bound scientist is shot and killed. He then comes back as a zombie and moves around by dragging himself by his arms. He created the T virus for his daughter to heal her legs so she would be able to walk, so surely as an infected zombie he would have been able to walk as well? Also I'm pretty sure he got shot in the head when he died (I may be wrong), so then how did he became a zombie, since the way to kill a zombie is apparently to destroy the brain, eg. by shooting them in the head?
Correction: Just like any other medical treatment, if the T-virus is not properly administered it won't have any beneficial effects, certainly not over the course of only a few minutes. Also, he wasn't shot in the head but in the torso.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film when it shows you the news, it states the videotape footage shot was a hoax. Surely the residents of Raccoon City who got through the gates before they were closed at the beginning of the outbreak would say otherwise.
Correction: Whatever they say will be suppressed and may become part of an underground conspiracy media that is never taken seriously. Umbrella can marshall the testimony of most of its employees, plus anyone it wants to bribe (including politicians and law enforcement) and will have a great deal more credibility than people claiming that the dead rose and walked among us.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: In the opening scene when the ice shelf starts breaking away, there is equipment on both sides of the crack. When the camera starts pulling away there is no equipment anywhere, just the actors.
Correction: There's equipment all over the place. What you are mistaking for the actors is actually a crawler and tents on the left side. The actors can barely be seen at all, they're the black spot next to the left side of the crack.
14th Jun 2004
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: When the camera zooms out after the Antarctic splits, the crack is far smaller than seen in the previous shot.
Correction: It's all relative. The crack was perhaps 3 meters wide when Jack jumped it and it increases by another meter or so before the wide shot. In the larger shot, the crack is still about the same size compared to the very tiny humans and their equipment.

Eurotrip (2004)
Corrected entry: In Mieke's email in which she says she is sorry about Fiona dumping him, Scotty read that "he" (Mieke) is sorry, but originally the mail begins with "I was a sad girl when I heard about Fiona dumping you" - at this point he should know that Mieke is a girl. (00:12:50)

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: The Farmer would be at least twice as strong as the cheerleader who stabbed the Creeper through a bus roof into his back. Yet at the end when the Creeper is wounded badly, he has trouble puncturing his skin.
Correction: Taggart has no trouble puncturing the Creeper's skin, he has trouble puncturing its rib cage. Shots on the Creeper's chest show that the spear has gone through its skin but only a few inches into the chest. In an incredible stroke of luck, Rhonda's javelin punched through the Creeper's eye socket (where his skull is weak) and out the back of his head (where the curvature acts like an arch that is easier to puncture from underneath), making it much easier to break whatever skeletal structure he has. The torso skeleton is tougher, that's all.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: On the bus after the first blowout, when Izzy yells "Poho update." The camera moves back towards Scott, you can see the back of the bus (under the emergency door) has been removed, presumably for shooting through.
Correction: The floor of the bus is intact. The only oddity is that the emergency door has two windows, one above and one below. Both windows have dirt on them and are lined with rubber, so they appear to be normal parts of the bus. I don't see anything else this could refer to.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: After the first tire blows, we see Chelsea using a mobile phone, looking like she's texting someone, but a few scenes later we're told there's no reception where the bus has stopped. How can she text with no reception, and if she isn't texting, why would she be checking her phone reception before anyone else even knows why the bus has stopped?
Correction: All we see her doing is punching buttons. She could be bored and playing a game, looking through her phonebook, messing with options, etc. Chelsea doesn't do or say anything that indicates she's trying to communicate with someone or checking reception.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: It's obvious that the hole in the roof created by the Creeper's hand would only have fit Bucky's head. Later he fits his whole body in it.
Correction: Either the Creeper only wanted to eat something in Bucky's head and would have been satisfied to tear it off his body or it was depending on using its strength to haul Bucky through and tear the hole wider in the process. Later the Creeper grabs Bucky through a different hole close to the middle of the bus that is much larger, made when it crashed on the roof.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: After the first tire blows Chelsea is using a mobile phone, but right after Izzy yells "Poho update." the camera moves slowly down the bus and her phone has disappeared. She wasn't off-screen long enough to put it away.
Correction: We see her holding it extended in her right hand and punching buttons, probably playing a game. When the camera comes back to her, her hands are offscreen and the absence of the phone cannot be verified.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: A bus roof that can support the weight of 6 athletes gives way easily to a javelin wielded by a cheerleader? Not very likely.
Correction: The athletes are spread out over the entire roof. Cheerleaders usually have a good bit of muscle from constant practice, plus this one's powered by adrenaline. The javelin is pointy and focuses the force much more than a large person does.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When the old couple pass the bus, they are going in the opposite direction to it. When Taggart finds their car later on, he keeps going in the same direction they had been (away from the bus), judging by the tire tracks leading off the road, so how does he ever find the kids?
Correction: The Creeper attacked the old couple from above (evidenced by tearing off the roof) and the driver pulled the steering wheel all the way to the left trying to toss it off, throwing the car into a U-turn that ended in a tree on the other side of the road (the tracks to the crash are curved, not straight). Thus it faces backward when Taggart finds it and he can find the bus by going that direction.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When the kids' face gets covered in blood, he tries to wipe it of, smearing it all over his face and hair. Later on his face is entirely clean, with a small bloody spot only. There is no way you get blood of your skin with a dry cloth only, and specially not in that amount of time with better things to do.
Correction: He's disgusted and terrified by the fact that he has a dead man's blood covering his face, so it's an extremely high priority from his point of view. A cloth wet with spit or a water bottle (common on a team's bus) would work well enough to remove it.
16th Feb 2004
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: The first time the bus has stopped, Betty is on the bus every scene we see trying to raise someone over the radio, so how can she be standing behind the tree smoking with the cheerleaders? The time between the various scenes at the bus isn't long enough for her to get off, have a cigarette and get back on again.
Correction: Between when all the players get off the bus (the last time Betty is seen on the radio) and when the cheerleaders are discovered smoking, the coach moves from just outside the bus door all the way around to the rear driver's side, so obviously some time has passed. We have no idea how much time. Betty isn't seen again until after the players' conversation, so she had time to get back as well.

Mean Girls (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Ms. Norberry makes the girls write out apologies for each other, a girl in a wheelchair and a blue hat has an apology. She's facing the audience. In order for her to fall into the crowd, she would have had to rotate her wheelchair around. But in the next shot she's 'magically' facing backwards.
Correction: Much of this scene is discontinuous because it is heavily edited so that we don't have to see every person climb up on the table, make their entire apology, and fall. It's fair to say that the rotation occurred offscreen in a few seconds of elapsed time.
25th Jul 2004
Mean Girls (2004)
Corrected entry: After the Halloween party, Cady walks back to Damian and Janyce's house. In that shot her face is white, but in the next shot when they're looking at the chalkboard, her face is painted green.

Predator 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: Near the end, when Danny Glover's netted, his hand is clearly outside the net in the wide shot, but in a closer shot his hand is under the net and he uses the disc to cut himself clear.
Correction: It's harder to see in the first shot, but pause shows one strand of the netting runs over his hand. He has enough space to pull his hand closer to his body and twist it to cut the net.
15th Oct 2003
Predator 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: At the beginning, Harrigan's car loses a door and is shot up by the Colombians. Near the end, when he is chasing the Predator, the car is undamaged. It couldn't have been fixed in only 2 days.
Correction: Both vehicles are police-issue unmarked cars. The LAPD would have a number of these on hand, so even though Harrigan destroyed one he would be able to get another almost identical one immediately. Note when Harrigan is arming himself at the end that the special holster on the inside roof of the trunk is gone - he just moved his weapons to the new car.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: How does Wesley have the exact key to fit the manacles in Angel's mansion (in the scene where he frees Faith)? We never see him picking them up or taking them from Angel.
Correction: The Council has access to many magical resources. It's quite likely they have enchanted skeleton keys to fit certain types of locks, especially given what we learn about the Council's wetworks squads.

Correction: He grabs the gate with his left hand above the shot, so we can't be sure it's empty. In other shots he was holding the phone loosely in his palm and thumb, leaving his fingers free to grip.
