Corrected entry: Extended edition only - When Merry and Pippin are looking for food after the flooding of Isengard, Pippin spots the apple and from the front he grabs from a bunch of 3 floating apples. Only when we see him grab the apple there is only one around, the one he grabbed.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Aragorn is saying to the Elves in Elvish: "Show them no mercy.....for you shall receive none," there is no rain falling on them, only in the background.
Correction: Not true... there are rain drops seen, even in slo-mo and the closeup, in front of the elves.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Legolas makes his unlikely grab-and-jump onto the horse with Gimli as the warg riders approach, he is seen to be mounting the horse behind Gimli. A few moments later, we see him expertly shooting down enemies from his position in front of Gimli on the horse. His mounting of the horse seems like an easy maneuvre compared to either forward flipping over the Dwarf or grabbing the Dwarf and tossing him over his head (which Gimli would have taken as an insult anyway).

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: If you pay close attention when the rain starts in the battle at Helm's Deep, the makeup on the elves is running. Legolas in particular, when he is readying his bow in the beginning, has a ring of white makeup near his hairline.
Correction: It is NOT a ring of white makeup, it's just all the rain droplets reflecting the light at the hairline and on the rest of the face. The makeup isn't running, it is the shiny water dripping down the faces of the Elves and men.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Frodo is pulled out of the water by Gollum/Sméagol, the Ring is missing for about three seconds.
8th Sep 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Frodo calls Gollum 'Smeagol' for the first time in The Dead Marshes, Gollum gets upset. Look around the two - the sky is quite dark, but in the next shot when they hear the winged Nazgul approaching, the sky is much lighter.
Correction: Just before that shot, Gollum says, "master should be resting," and all around Gollum is thick fog. When Frodo gets up and stands near Gollum, he asks, "who are you?," behind Frodo the sky is becoming lighter on the horizon. It is dawn. Because it's foggy, in the close up shots, you can't see the sky. Only when the camera pans out, as the Nazgul screams, you can see the sky.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Frodo has the top of his shirt unbuttoned his mithril armor is missing. (02:50:23)
Correction: When Frodo's top two buttons of his shirt are open throughout FotR and TTT, there are moments when you can easily see the Mithril, then moments where you can only catch a glimpse of it and sometimes you can't see it at all, depending on the position of his collar. The Mithril hangs down low on his chest, so it wouldn't always be discernible.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: Orlando Bloom had no stunt double.
Correction: This is not true. Though Orlando did do most of his own stunts, he did have a stunt double, named Morgan.
16th Nov 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: In the Warg battle scene, Gimli is being charged by a creature and Legolas shoots it for him. He yells out, "That one was mine." and is surprised by another behind him. He strikes it, and it falls on him. Look at the axe in the shot where they fall - the handle is facing the wrong direction.
Correction: No it is not. Gimli hacked at the Warg, swinging from his right shoulder into the top of the Warg's head and that's where the ax stays.
27th Aug 2001
The Art of War (2000)
Corrected entry: When Snipes and David Chan finally come face to face, Snipes literally drops in. Look closely and you will see a third person cowering and moving around a table between Snipes and Chan. At first you think this is David Chan's secretary but as the scene develops this unknown person simply disappears out of the scene.
Correction: When Snipes drops in on Chan's balcony, the older woman, who probably is Chan's secretary, simply leaves the balcony, when she sees Snipes' gun. Snipes isn't interested in her, he just wants Chan.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: After Aragorn kisses Boromir right after he dies, he gets up and says something about how the tower guards of Ecthelion will look for his coming, but he will not come. Where is the 3rd arrow in Boromir's chest/stomach?
27th Aug 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: Gandalf (v/over): "We must walks over to Frodo and they watch Boromir sparring with the two other Hobbits. Pippin is wearing a white shirt and Merry is wearing a vest. Boromir is fighting with Pippind he says "Two, one, five. Good, very good." after he's done that short round with Pippin. Then he does a little fancy thing with his sword and turns to Merry. [You can identify Merry by his yellow vest] As Boromir fights with the hobbit, Merry moves backright shoulder near the camera, and then he disappears from view, all except his arm and his sword. Then the shot moves to Aragorn, with his pipe who says "Move your feet." The rhythm of the clanking swords continues without break but after the camera moves away from Aragorn, Boromir is suddenly fighting with Pippin again. Then Merry says "You look good Pippin." You can also tell that it changed from Merry to Pippin, because Merry's sleeves are larger/puffier that Pippin's and they are also longer. (00:05:25)
Correction: Go back and advance that scene shot by shot and you will see that you are wrong. Boromir twirls his sword and only looks at Merry, but continues to fight with Pippin. It is Pippin's shoulder, arm and sword that are shown close up, fighting with Boromir. Pippin has a white shirt, that has a decorative color thread running through it on the cuffs and on the front of the shirt. Pippin is fighting with Boromir the whole time, until Merry says, "You look good, Pippin," at which point Boromir starts to fight with Merry.

Bringing Down the House (2003)
Corrected entry: When Aaron picks up Sarah, he's wearing a red plaid shirt, but when he passes her at the party, he's wearing a green and gray striped shirt.
Correction: Aaron is wearing two different shirts because it is two different nights.

Bringing Down the House (2003)
Corrected entry: When Peter is taking the sleeping pills, you can see the outline of someone standing outside his window.
Correction: If you look frame by frame, it's only the movement and shadows of the trees.
28th Aug 2003
Bringing Down the House (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Widow is holding the gun up to Peter's head in the car, he falls out of the car and the back door behind the driver's seat is opened. In the next shot, the door is shut as Peter drives off.
Correction: After Widow falls out of Peter's car, you can see the back door, as it's closing, when the car speeds forward.

The Lion King (1994)
Corrected entry: Simba is taken to a small pond through roots of trees and thorns and bushes by Rafiki to show him where Mufasa is. Soon after, Mufasa appears in the clouds, reveals to Simba who he really is, and disappears. The place where Simba stands shows no trace of the path covered.
Correction: The grass is tall and thick all around Simba. There would be no discernible paw prints from the side 'camera' angle, possibly only if it were veiwed from above.
27th Aug 2001
The Lion King (1994)
Corrected entry: In the stampede scene, Mufasa is crawling up a slanted slope, but when we get an overhead view, it's straight down.
Correction: When viewed from the top of the rocky cliff, the steepness of the rocks isn't clear, so the view we have is more dramatic for the shot. It's only from a side view that can we see the incline.
27th Aug 2001
The Lion King (1994)
Corrected entry: Near the end, When Zazu is in the cage of bones and Timon runs in with him because two of the hyenas are chasing him, Pumbaa follows them. Banzai is in front, and Shenzi is by the cage. Banzai calls Pumbaa a pig, and Pumbaa charges. We get a view of the two hyenas, and they have switched places.
Correction: During this scene, both Shenzi and Banzai are in front of rib cage facing Timon and Zazu. We the viewers see them through the ribs. When Pumbaa charges at Shenzi and Banzai, they haven't switched places, they're still in front of the rib cage, they've just turned around to face a charging Pumbaa and the 'camera' angle is different.
10th Feb 2003
The Lion King (1994)
Corrected entry: When Rafiki grabbed some of the dust that Simba had blown, Rafiki grabs a fruit thing form the tree, he breaks it in half and starts to eat the one half. Yet, when he puts his hand down to hold the turtle shell, and he gets up to go over to put the mane on Simba's picture, the fruit is gone and the turtle shell as well. (00:53:00)
Correction: If you scrutinize this whole scene frame by frame you will notice when Rafiki is sitting with the turtle shell and fruit, he glances to his right (at Simba's picture on a tree to Rafiki's right). The next shot pans Simba's picture then it goes back to where Rafiki is sitting with the turtle shell. Rafiki jumps and runs to get his 'staff'. He runs back to the tree that has Simba's picture on it, past where he was sitting with his turtle shell.
27th Aug 2001
The Lion King (1994)
Corrected entry: When Mufasa and Simba are sitting atop Pride Rock there is a river to the right (South). When you see them walking with Pride Rock in the background the river has moved North.
Correction: The sun is rising facing the front of Pride Rock. The river is to the right (South) of Pride Rock. It flows East/West past Pride Rock then in the next couple of shots you can see it curves Northward. There is nothing unrealistic here.

Correction: The scene goes like this, as Merry says, "probably only dead rats and moldy bread," Pip turns to his left and sees a floating apple, the first of four that are floating to his left. He picks it up, we see some closeups including him looking up (remember Aragorn, FotR). The camera pans back out, and now we see the three from before, plus one more that's floating by, for a total of four floating plus the first one in his hand. There are no mistakes here.
