Corrected entry: After the crash Tea Leoni and the rest of the crew run and run and do some more running, and during all this they are all hitting mud puddles, creeks, dirt in general. When this is all over Tea's yellow shirt is still yellow and not black or a dark yellow - it looks as clean as it was when she was flying on the plane before the crash. Funny how everyone else looks semi-dirty though.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: Nothing could be seen through the green liquid in the large glass tubes, so how come the Raptor's head could be seen so easily?
Correction: We can see through the green liquid (the first tube actually has a lot more green tint than the other tubes). But it's based on the angle you're looking at and the way light enters. It was hard to see through when the camera panned across the curves of the tubes or when the characters were far away from the tube, but the raptor was pressed up near the tube wall.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: Judging from the way the camera pans, and how the Raptor head moves accordingly, it's impossible for it to have actually been positioned behind the glass tube. The only way this look could have been achieved is if the head was inside the tube.
Correction: The raptor is behind the glass tube. It's just at a different angle than you're probably thinking. The raptor was behind it, but had its head to the left of it (so it could have the right side of its face "pressed" against it). When you see it move, it tilts its head down a bit and swings right, which it would have to do to swing around a cylinder tube.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: When Nash is pulled out of the airplane, he is pulled out by one leg. He is swung around for a few seconds by the leg, and then dropped to the ground. He drags himself for a couple seconds, and then gets on his hands and knees and tries crawling away. Both legs are perfectly fine, with no cuts or anything. How can he be on both knees if one of his legs was in the clamping jaws of the Spinosaurus?
Correction: We just see the dinosaur grab him with his mouth to pull him out, there's no indication it was trying to eat him there or that its teeth were "clamped" down. Many animals can carry their young with their teeth without injury to the young and the dinosaur simply may have been figuring out if Nash was dangerous, poisonous, or food, etc before biting into him.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: After they land on the island, mercenaries are securing the perimeter. They run off to the right side from the perspective of the plane. Nash and Udesky come back, turn the plane 180 degrees and quickly accelerate on the runway. How come Cooper exits the forest from the right side in front of them, when he actually should be on the left side several hundred meters behind them? Sure, he could have made it that far on his own, but in that case, there wouldn't be any Spinosaurus attacking, because its roar was heard several shots before from the opposite side too.
Correction: Cooper enters the forest near the windsock, which is behind the plane and on the left hand side (where the door opens). When he exits the forest he is in front of the plane and comes from the right side of the plane (away from the door side), which makes sense as the plane's turned around.

Howard the Duck (1986)
Corrected entry: When Howard frees Phil from the police car and they run away, it is night. They then discover the ultralight aircraft, however it is daytime before they make an escape. Wouldn't the police have noticed he was missing by then, and considering the yard where the aircraft was stored is next-door, wouldn't they have been discovered long before escaping?
Correction: Phil tells Howard that it'll be dawn soon, so it's not as if several hours has passed. Second, when one of the cop cars pulls up, one cop says "they just spotted the duck and the kid", so they did notice Phil was missing by then and were looking for him (they were looking for both, but didn't know they'd be together). Third, earlier it was mentioned that Howard was armed and dangerous, so if one of the cops spotted him, he would certainly call for backup. So they were spotted before escaping, but not apprehended without backup. But even though they were so close doesn't mean they'd be found quicker than expected, especially if they hid when they saw cops approaching.

Tammy (2014)
Corrected entry: They are supposed to be in the state of Illinois when Tammy goes to get Pearl from the nursing home. But all the cars have Kentucky license plates.
13th Apr 2015
Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: Steven Spielberg makes a cameo as the jeep driver with a green cap who pulls Marty around the street.
Correction: That is not true. The jeep driver is Walter Scott (who is also credited for his role).

A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Seth McFarlane is learning to shoot, he fires 8 shots when the gun is a 6 shooter.
Correction: The first time, with the cans, he shoots 5 times and they reload, then he shoots 6 times. Then it cuts to the bottles where he shoots 6 times. The scene then cuts to shooting the plates, where he shoots twice, and while we don't see him reload, we also don't see the "set up" so there was plenty of time off camera for them to reload, this also becomes part of a target practice montage where we only see the shooting.

The Virginian (1962)
Deadeye Dick - S5-E9
Corrected entry: The circuit judge arrives on the stagecoach and complains that the railroad has no spur line to Medicine Bow. But the town has had a railroad connection and station all along: it's seen in nearly every episode, including the opening and closing scenes of this one.
Correction: The judge isn't complaining that Medicine Bow had no railroad going through, he just said he wished the railroad would put in spur lines. He made no mention of Medicine Bow and what we see is a main line. There's a big difference between the two, spur lines are short, and often cheap, but allow smaller towns without a railroad going through to connect to a main line. The Judge wished the small town he came from had a spur line connecting it to the main line (or spur lines directly to Medicine Bow, making it a hub).

Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie when Bernie is driving the golf cart up next to the deck of his house you see a pole with street signs, but when they are pulling Bernie in the red wagon down the ramp to dump him into the golf cart the sign is completely gone.
Correction: The sign is there in the wagon scene. You see Larry drive the golf cart past it and it's behind the cart when loading Bernie in.

Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)
Corrected entry: When Kenny and his friends enter the store on the bikes, Jimmy the employee calls Kenny "Kenny Barton" even though he knows that his last name is "Binder" in the film.
Correction: He doesn't call him by name, he yells "hey, buddy".
27th Aug 2001
Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: When Michael Biehn's character reaches for Newt for the first time while she's cowering in the recess of the hallway, he cries out just before she bites him. (00:45:55)
Correction: We see Newt bite Hicks and it's not until the camera changes from Newt to Hicks do we hear him cry out. But by then, he's already bitten.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: When Ripley shows off her skill with the power-loader, another walks along in the background. Look carefully, it's Ripley driving.
3rd May 2010
The Incredibles (2004)
Corrected entry: When The Incredibles fight the giant robot in the city, after they crash that van and roll a number of times before coming to a stop, they can see the robot walking towards their left on the road ahead of them. They get out of the van, Bob talks with Helen for some time, then the robot emerges from behind them and crushes their van. Seeing the robot's size and its speed, it couldn't possibly go around the entire block in so little time. The building it went around can be seen when the robot walks towards them, and it is huge, making the trip around it really long.
Correction: There was plenty of time for a robot that size to walk around a single building. And it wasn't one of those "huge" buildings that take up a whole city block, so it could easily slip around to the other side, especially since it was designed to be able to outsmart and beat any hero.

The Incredibles (2004)
Corrected entry: When Mr. Incredible stops, the train the light from the trains brightly shines on him, but when the lights and headlights go out, the light that is on him doesn't disappear.
Correction: That's not what happens in the scene. After the light on the train goes out, Mr. Incredible has also slipped down some and now it is the several street lamps that are shinning on him.

Grange Hill (1978)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Corrected entry: Third years Doyle and Robo are play fighting in the corridor - they bump into new first year Michael Green on his first day. Michael says "watch it Doyle." How does he know Doyle's name when it's his first day?
Correction: While it was Michael Green's first day, it certainly wasn't his brother's first day. It would be very easy for Benny Green to tell his younger brother all about Doyle (either on the first day of school or anytime in the previous years).

Timecop (1994)
Corrected entry: When Max Walker (1994) and his wife Melissa are hanging on the edge of roof, one of McComb's thugs is crushing Walker's hand with his shoe. Then Walker from 2004 shoots the thug. You can see his dead body falling from the roof. He should hit the ground with his back, and his legs should be opposite the door. But, when Melissa goes down and walks near that body, it's lying on its stomach with its head opposite the door.

Timecop (1994)
Corrected entry: When 2004 Walker is in 1929 giving Atwood's companions a beating he beats the second one with the lamp stand but the guy falls down twice. Strangely both falls have audio.
23rd Jun 2009
Caddyshack (1980)
Corrected entry: As the group gathers for the illegal tournament, Al Czervik takes a call from a phone in his golf bag; Dr. Beeper receives a page, and asks to use the phone (Czervik holds the phone between them). In the midst of this chaos, Lou (the ref) screams to get everyone's attention; when Czervik and Beeper turn to look at him, the phone is completely absent from the shot.
Correction: When it cuts back to Al, you can see part of the phone cord going into the bag, which shakes the clubs a bit. There's plenty of time for Al to drop the phone off camera (which would retracted back into the bag and out of the next shot).

Correction: They weren't running through mud puddles and creeks, just tall grass and an open clearing. Some characters got dirty because they fell on the ground (some of the mud we kind of see is Dr. Grant crawling around felled trees). But, her shirt certainly is as dirty as other characters who didn't fall down.
