Predator (1987)

Corrected entry: When Arnold is rushing down the river and over the waterfall its daylight and you can see the blue sky as he swims out of the water. But just after he gets out of the water and sits down under the tree roots, with the Predator after him, it suddenly gets very dark then it's night time in a matter of seconds.

Correction: Actually, its dusk. Its beginning to get dark as Arnold approaches the river bank, and the fog around the bank area is making it appear darker.

Predator (1987)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the soldiers are attacking the guerilla camp, Jesse Ventura fires his minigun at a sniper's nest, which subsequently explodes in a massive ball of flames. I point this out because the minigun he uses fires full metal jacket rifle rounds, and they are not explosive, nor would they cause a structure comprised of wood to suddenly explode in the way it does.

Correction: It wasn't necessarily Blaine's minigun that set off the explosion. You can see that the explosion is already occurring just after he begins firing. Considering that Billy was seen throwing grenades into the nests, he could've done the same to the nest Blaine was firing on. Its also feasible to assume that Blaine may have hit a stockpile of explosives; explosive shells can be triggered by a high-velocity impact. Since Mini-guns have a high rate of fire, and could have easily penetrated the nest, it may have also hit and detonated some explosives.

Predator (1987)

Revealing mistake: When Bill Duke picks the scorpion off Carl Weathers' shoulder with a knife, you can blatantly see some gum or similar that's been used to stick the scorpion onto the tip of the knife. Even if it's meant to be Bill Duke's gum, it's not on the tip of the knife before he stabs it.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: It isn't gum, it's literally the scorpion's guts.

There are no guts in the scorpion's body, so it's obviously some material to stick scorpion to the tip of the knife, and it's blatantly visible in the close shot.

It's the abdominal fluid. It probably is gum in real life but if you kill an insect you will find it has a gum-like fluid in its abdomen.

Predator (1987)

Corrected entry: When Arnold is running away from the Predator he slides down a hill and falls off a cliff into the river below. In the sequence following we see him get washed down the river over waterfalls and such. When he climbs out of the river onto the mud, we see the Predator's invisible body dive into the water, making a small splash. There are two mistakes in this scene. 1. When Arnold crawls up the bank into the mud there are no cliffs around from where the Predator could have dived from, there are only trees. And if the Predator did dive from the trees, he would have easily seen Arnold getting out of the river. 2. Juding by the splash made, the Predator did a head first dive into the water. But from any height this would have broken his neck because the river would have been too shallow.

Correction: Actually, if you pay attention to the scenery, you see that Arnold falls down 2 waterfalls. When Arnold plummets into the pond, look behind him. There is a big cliffwall. You see it behind Arnold as he swims up, and behind the Predator when he drops into the water. He DID see Arnold get out of the river, which is why he jumped into the pond in the first place, but Arnold inadvertantly hid himself by getting covered in mud. Secondly, although the Predator was camouflaged, it was plainly simple to see that the Predator appeared to do a cannonball into the water, and if the water was deep enough for Arnold to swim in, then it was deep enough for the Predator to cannonball into. Besides, the Predator was leaping off trees that were over 20 feet tall and landing as if it were nothing to him earlier in the movie...I don't think a plunge into water is gonna be much of a bother to him.
