Corrected entry: When Bill drops the bride off at Pai Mei's temple, he says good bye at the truck. He then takes off in the truck. Before he gets into the truck it is pointed in the direction of the steps and the trees. It is still pointed in that direction as he says good bye and starts up the truck. When he hits the accelerator the truck is now pointed in the direction of the road and goes straight down the road that was off to the right side. (00:45:00)

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Corrected entry: When the bride picks the Hatori Hanzo sword from the rack she begins to remove it from the scabbard. Her left hand is at the opening of the scabbard as she starts to pull out the sword. The shot from further away when she totally removes the sword her left hand has moved further down the scabbard, away from the opening. (00:52:40)
Correction: Her hand stays in the same location, but as mentioned in a previous entry, the sword has been pulled further out of the scabbard.

The Practice (1997)
Corrected entry: Denise is on death row for the killing of 2 children. The problem is that there is no death row in Massachusetts. Massachusetts no longer has the death penalty. They have not executed anyone since 1976. There are no people currently on death row. Information comes from the Death Penalty Information Center.
Correction: You are working on the false assumption that the episode is about Massachusetts, it isn't! The episode is about New Hampshire.

Wall Street (1987)
Corrected entry: When Bud is talking to Carl's co-workers at the airplane hanger they are working on aircraft N455OT. The plane is painted in Bluestar colors. The last 2 letters, OT, signify the aircraft belongs to Avant Airlines. (01:00:25)
Correction: "OT" on the N number does not signify anything. The N number is 4550T (455zeroTango). The FAA does not issue N numbers using the letter "O" as it can be confused with "0" zero (as is the letter "I" can be confused with the number one 1). Google N4550T and you can see it was a BAC 1-11 that was parted out in the early 90's.

Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: When the bride is eating rice with Pai Mei she is having trouble with the chopsticks. Before she throws down the chopsticks the rice bowl is very full and has a level top layer of rice. After she throws the chopsticks down and tries to eat with her hands, there is less rice in the bowl and a pile in the center of the bowl for her to grab. (00:56:00)
Correction: The bowl of rice she successfully eats out of is a different bowl of rice. The first one he tosses the rice out of it on to the floor, and then slides her a completely different bowl of rice.

Real Genius (1985)
Corrected entry: When the group gasses Kent to implant the microphone in his braces we hear a thump as if someone fell to the ground. When we see Kent he is slumped over his keyboard. The sound we heard is inconsistent with how they found Kent slumped over. (01:18:50)
Correction: The sound could easily have come from Kent dropping a textbook he was holding. If you've ever dropped a heavy book flat on the floor you know it makes a very loud thud.

Batman Forever (1995)
Corrected entry: When the security guard and Batman are in the vault, the "boiling acid" begins to fill the bottom of the vault. The vault is currently being suspended vertically with the door on top. After Batman saves the day and returns the vault to its original horizontal position, there is no acid spilling out of the door of the vault. (00:08:20)

Alien (1979)
Corrected entry: When Ripley is setting the ship's self-destruct mechanism she goes to a panel in the floor. In this panel there are four holes with four screws next to them. When she inserts the first screw she has to manually lift up the cylinder to activate it. It also makes a sound as it is lifted. After she inserts the screw into the second cylinder it cuts to a view in front of her. The cylinder makes the same sound as it raises, but Ripley is not lifting this one. Her arms are doing nothing. When she activates the last cylinder she once again has to lift it up manually by the inserted screw. Based on the design of the mechanism it is apparent that all four cylinders have to be manually lifted, but Ripley does not lift the second cylinder. It lifts itself. (01:35:30)
Correction: She tugs at the first, but this doesn't mean it needs her to. The second rises on it's own, making the same sound. The third is shown having risen without making the sound like the first two as she screws the last one in. She's never shown pulling the third or fourth, and the fourth is never shown rising. There's no consistency between any two of the four, so we don't know if it isn't shown exactly as it's supposed to work.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: When Vasquez goes to weld the piece of pipe back in place part of it has already been welded. Look at the right of the screen. The piece has already been tack welded before she fires up the torch. (01:41:05)
Correction: It's not tack welding seen at the right, it's slag from the torch cutting.

Alien (1979)
Corrected entry: When Ripley is in Mother there is a moving shadow of a crew member over her right shoulder in the doorway. This occurs after Mother responds "unable to clarify". (01:19:15)

Mystery Men (1999)
Corrected entry: When the shoveler arrives at home, he drives his car onto a purple dinosaur. The squeaking noise that the dinosaur makes occurs only after the car has stopped. Sound from a squeeze toy occurs while the toy is being squeezed. At this point the air would have already been pushed out of the toy so the sound should have already occurred. (00:19:40)
Correction: Some squeeze toys also make a squeek sound when they take in air as well. It's not unusual.

Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
Corrected entry: After Dr. Hasslein shoots the baby chimp, Zira pushes the baby over the side of the ship. The baby chimp lands in the water and floats. It floats as if it were made of plastic and weighed nothing. Had it been a real chimpanzee baby it would have had some weight to it and gone under water.
Correction: Not really. Bodies don't immediately sink once they hit water. Some may float for hours.

Tron (1982)
Corrected entry: After Flynn, Tron and Ram escape on their light cycles they decide to dismount them. The stick that was presented to them in the game grid to create the light cycles disappears and breaks apart when they dismount their light cycles. They even show a look of surprise when the stick breaks up. Because of this they should not be able to recreate the light cycles, yet after they drink the "power" water they are once again riding light cycles. (00:47:00 - 00:50:40)
Correction: If you've played the game "Tron 2.0", you'd understand how this works. The 'Stick' (Or Handle) is actually a subroutine that gets added to the main program. If they ever need to use the subroutine again, all they need to do is do the motion of getting onto a lightcycle and the lightcycle appears.

Friday Night Lights (2004)
Corrected entry: All games throughout the regular season and the playoffs are held at Ratliff Stadium, the home of Permian football. No team has all of their games at home. Permian is shown in some games wearing black home jerseys and others wearing white away jerseys. It was easier and more cost effective for the production crew to only have to set up in one stadium and have the actors change jerseys.
Correction: Footage was also shot at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene, which is where the Permian vs. Abilene High game was played. The Abilene Cooper game was also film footage from Shotwell.

Alien (1979)
Corrected entry: Normally the face sucker alien is helping the host, Kane, breathe. This is evident by the close up shots where the sacs on the side of his body pulsate. In the panoramic shot the sacs on the side of the face sucker are not pulsating.
Correction: No-one ever said they were pulsating specifically to give Kane air. While it's probably giving him air in some other way, the pulsating is probably just the facehugger ejecting the alien embryo into Kane, which it would only have to do for a little while as opposed to helping him breathe.
Nah, don't think so. The pulsating sacs were helping Kane breathe.

The Aviator (2004)
Corrected entry: When Howard and Katherine Hepburn are eating dinner, Errol Flynn comes by to talk. The waiter delivers Howard's dinner, a steak, twelve peas and a jar of milk with the cap on. Errol reaches over a takes one of the peas off of Howard's plate. In slow motion we can see that Errol indeed removes a pea from his plate. Howard then looks at his plate. When paused we can count that there still twelve peas on the plate. There should only be eleven peas. Howard then pushes his plate away from him. A few shots later the peas have moved position and then there are only ten peas on the plate. (00:33:40)
Correction: The rules of this site are clear - if you have to use slow motion or freeze frame to detect a mistake, then it is not a mistake in the first place.
11th Apr 2005
Mystery Men (1999)
Corrected entry: When one the Red Eyes ripped off the prosthetic arm of an old man, that arm had a wrist watch on it. It was still on the arm as the arm was flung across the room into the punch bowl. Later when we see Mr. Furious thrown onto the table, which launches the prosthetic arm up to chandelier, the wrist watch is missing. (00:02:25)
Correction: It's entirely possible that one of the Red Eye members took the wristwatch off the prosthetic arm after it landed in the punch bowl but before Mr. Furious hit the table. The leader of the gang told them to steal anything and everything.

Lucas (1986)
Corrected entry: In the scene with Charlie Sheen and Kerri Green in the school washroom Charlie has his shirt off. His right shoulder has a poorly covered tattoo. The makeup is too thin and the tattoo is showing though as a green spot on his shoulder.
Correction: That is true, but the green spot also look like a bruise which goes with the character as he plays football.

Saw (2004)
Corrected entry: Dr. Lawrence Gordon had thrown 1 of the 2 cigarettes to Adam. Adam even began to smoke one of them. Later on when Dr. Gordon slumps to the ground and says "How did I get here? I had everything in order" two cigarettes are on the floor in front of him. (01:20:00)
Correction: While it looks like there is only 2 cigarettes on the box, I believe there are 4. If you pause is at exactly 1:00:09, and look at what is on the ground on front of Larry, you can see 3 cigarettes (one by his hand, one by the lighter, and one by something that looks like a piece of paper), and we know that one is still in the box because that is what he switches the poisoned one with. (Clarification, stop motion is not valid in identifying mistakes but I believe acceptable in refuting them)

Saving Silverman (2001)
Corrected entry: When the guys kidnap Judith they drive off in her car. As they pull out off the driveway in her car Darren is driving up to the house. He then goes into the house looking for Judith. He just saw her car leave. Why would he think she was still in the house? (00:34:50)
Correction: Is it that hard to believe that he wasn't paying much attention?
