Corrected entry: Young Lily's bed wetting problem is obviously quite chronic. She brings two packs of the Goodnites diapers with her on her trip to Yellowstone and we see her mother putting several packs of them into a shopping cart at a grocery store. When they are on the run (and obviously did not have any time to take any with them), we see her sleeping several times - however, she never has any accidents.

Commando (1985)
Corrected entry: Bennett has just been pierced by the pipe going into a steam compressor or whatever that is behind him. When the camera draws back along the pipe to reveal the steam pouring out, look closely and it looks like CO2 from a fire extinguisher. The edge of the pipe with the "steam" coming out of it has frost on it. (01:24:10)
Correction: How do you know the pipe was carrying steam? It could conceivably have been a pipe carrying a cryogenic fluid (liquid nitrogen lines are common in industrial plants).
If it's not supposed to be steam then that makes the line "Let off some steam, Bennett" make absolutely no sense. It's obviously supposed to be steam.
Matrix might not know it isn't steam. Even so, that's a character mistake, not a movie mistake.
Yes, because "Let off some CO2, Bennett" sounds much better. It's a bad pun, simple as that.

The Time Machine (2002)
Corrected entry: When Alexander travels into the future everything around him is moving at a fast pace but it is always daytime. Wouldn't the sunlight be flashing on and off really fast?
Correction: Yes and it does. A rapidly flashing light source (faster than about 10 flashes per second) appears as a continuous source due to persistence of vision. Incidentally, this is the very effect that makes motion pictures possible at all!

Troy (2004)
Corrected entry: Troy was a natural harbor, but the shots of the sea show waves breaking against the sand, which would indicate a beach. It would be impossible for the Greeks to have sailed their ships onto the beach, they would have been overturned by the changes in tide.
Correction: There are no tides in the Mediterranean Sea. It is too small and is choked off at the Straits of Gibraltar. It was common in Classical times (and even up to the present day) to beach ships during a prolonged stay on land.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Corrected entry: After the bombs have been exploded in the Nautilus, and Nemo has (miraculously) managed to get the ship back to the surface you see three very distinct holes in the hull of the ship. But in the next scene you can see the ship again from the same position, but this time without even a trace of the holes.
Correction: Well, we are treated to a rather lengthy intermission scene in which Dr Jekyll tends to the wounded and Tom Sawyer taps a few valves. I think this is when they repair the ship.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
Corrected entry: In several shots in the film the 'Bell System' logo on Charlie's speaker disappears and reappears. (00:27:35 - 01:18:00)
Correction: This is just because the cameraman alters the zoom between shots - when he's zoomed in, the logo gets cropped. It is a common technique to change zoom during dialogue to make the shot more animated (although it's a bit pointless to do it when one of the protagonists is a speaker).

The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Corrected entry: Two general questions: How can iron cannonballs cause fiery explosions every time they hit just anything? And how is it possible that men slaughter each other with axes and knives but we hardly see a drop of blood?
Correction: The "iron cannonballs" fired by the French troops into Fort Henry are not solid shot. The are mortar bombs - hollow shells filled with gunpowder and fitted with a slow burning fuse. Their tactical use in the siege is quite accurate.

Correction: I'm not to sure we get to check too closely! In any case, at the end of the movie she tells Curtis that she's over the "problem".
