The International (2009)

Corrected entry: It is extremely unlikely that all those men with machine guns would be able to get into the Guggenheim - not that I've been there, but I'm pretty sure there are metal detectors and that they do not let guys with guns into the museum.

Jacob La Cour

Correction: Reguardless of whether or not there are metal detectors, if 10 guys with machine guns show up, you are not gonna stop them. it is entirely possible that they were let in by a bribed security guard or that they threatened the guards with the guns.

The Time Machine (1960)

Corrected entry: The Eloi speak perfect English. One would think that after so many thousands of years had passed, gradually over time the Eloi's English would have degenerated somewhat. At the very least, new slang words would have been adopted reflecting their circumstances.

Correction: In the book the Eloi speak an obscure tonal language - not english. It is the choice of the director to use an unaltered English in order to make the movie easier to watch and understand. This cannot be considered a plot hole.

Q Who? - S2-E16

Other mistake: Worf says the Borg have locked on a tractor beam, but in the next exterior shot there is no tractor beam visible between the two ships. Later there is.

Suggested correction: Stating that it is locked on is not the same as stating it is engaged. For example, there are numerous occasions where they detect that phasers have been locked but have not yet been engaged/fired.

In regards to a tractor beam, locked on has always meant engaged and holding the target. Phasers are different as they need to be targeted. The tractor beam just has to hit the ship. I think this is a valid error.
