The Hours (2002)

Corrected entry: After the flower shop scene with Clarissa we see Virginia writing. Although for the better part of the movie the make-up artists have done a fairly good job on Nicole Kidman's nose enlargement, the waxy whiteness of her nose makes it strangely obvious in this scene. (00:16:25)

Correction: It's not the nosejob that's obvious; it's just stark sunlit lighting that makes her look that way. No one would look good in that lighting; the nose just appears white because of the lighting. You are only focusing on the nose because it's known to be fake.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: When the pig is holding onto the fairy godmother's leg, his hat falls off and lands underneath. But as the fight for the wand continues, that hat disappears.

Correction: There is no way to tell where the hat fell. We are never shown a full view of the entire area after the pig loses his hat.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: Just one shot before Pinnochio is finally tangled in stripes, we can see his limbs are only a little bit wrapped in stripes, and then we see him tangled completely in stripes many times.

Correction: That's the whole point - he was flipping and twirling and he is suddenly entangled beyond repair in his strings. No mistake here.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: When the fairy tale creatures are watching T.V., the Gingerbread Man drops a buffalo wing to the floor in astonishment, but a couple shots later it's gone.

Correction: They are watching the television with no lights on (except the glow of the TV) so when Gingerbread drops the chicken, it could be anywhere, including under the table he is sitting on. There's just not enough illumination to see any details of what's lying on the floor.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: In the beginning scene at the tower, just after Prince Charming slides down the rope across the lake of lava, you can see a small flock of birds flying around the highest point of the tower. In the shot after Charming uses his breath spray, the birds are nowhere to be seen. (00:02:05)

Correction: The first shot of the tower was a wide shot, showing about six circling vultures. The second shot was a much more narrower view and much shorter in duration, so it's not a mistake that the vultures just happened to be flying a bit wider path than shown in the second shot.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: In the 'chase scene' in the Fairy Godmother's factory, Shrek, Donkey and Puss spin quickly on a rotating device. In the shots where they are spinning, there is no sign of anyone in the background. Yet there is a gang of archers who had been shooting at them in the same room. (00:44:40)

Correction: There is no possible way to discern anything in the background other than blurry swirling images because the device is turning at such a fast pace. You can see colors of different objects, including the white of the workers' suits, as they whiz past.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: When Puss is stealing the Happily Ever After potion, he breaks the protective sheet of glass while trying to get the bottle out, but the shards of glass that should be raining down disappear in mid-air. (00:45:50)

Correction: No, the glass is falling down, all right - it's just the camera that changes angle when the glass is "mid-air". And the glass can be seen scattered on the floor even before the other potions start falling.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Shrek, Fiona and her family are dining, when Shrek and Fiona's father start to bicker and angrily eat their food, they both go for the pig in the middle of the table. This should have been impossible as the table in other shots is shown to be too long for either of them to reach considering they are both sitting at opposite ends. This is shown especially when the pig goes flying into the air. (00:17:30)

Correction: Actually, the size of the pig does make it possible for both of them to grab legs at either end of the pig. It's a stretch (no pun intended), but not impossible.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: When Shrek is reading Fiona's diary, he drops it on the table. Later, Fiona wakes up and finds it, and its position is different.

Correction: When Shrek places her diary on the table, the angle is such that we cannot see how he laid it down. So there's no way to know if it's different when Fiona picks it up later.

Up (2009)

Corrected entry: When Charles grabs Russel, he is suddenly tied to a chair in the next shot.

Correction: This is too vague - when Carl grabs Russell Where? When?

MovieFan612

Correction: The original post refers to when Muntz captured Russell as he floated by the airship with the balloons and leafblower. However, the entry is still incorrect. First, Muntz tied Russell to the chair and left him to slowly fall off the ramp. Carl noticed this and used the garden hose, and his walker, to zipline to Russell grabbing the chair just before he fell. Afterwards, Dug winded them back in as the hose became detached. Russell stayed tied to the chair the entire time or he would have fallen.

Bee Movie (2007)

Corrected entry: When the bees stop pollinating, Barry is shocked that the whole park is dead. How didn't he know by now? The scene is before he was in the hive, so surely he had to have seen the park while flying to Vanessa's store.

Correction: Barry was intent on seeing Vanessa. He just wasn't paying attention to anything else, the same as we humans do a lot of the time.

Tombstone (1993)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the Earps are playing pool and the mayor is trying to get them involved, Virgil is wearing a sidearm. The following scene when he exits the billiard hall and cowboys are shooting up the street, he reaches to his hip for his gun but it's not there.

Correction: Virgil's pistol was on his left hip because he was playing pool with his right (dominant) arm. Outside he reaches instinctively for his gun which would usually be on his right hip, as a reflexive action when he hears gunfire. You will see when he picks up the boy that the gun is still on his left hip.

Tombstone (1993)

Corrected entry: After Morgan is killed, the Earps leave Tombstone with Wyatt driving a flat wagon carrying Morgan's body and Virgil driving the covered wagon with the women. In the next scene, as they cross the prairie headed for the train station, only the covered wagon appears with a man (most likely Wyatt) riding a black horse in front of it. The other wagon is nowhere to be seen.

Correction: Morgan's body was taken by wagon to the nearest railhead (in Benson) and was sent to his parents in Colton, California, where he was buried. Virgil and his wife continued on to Tucson - this is where we see only the covered wagon and Wyatt.

Friends (1994)

Show generally

Corrected entry: Every time, when a shot from outside is shown, showing Monica's building, then turning to show Ross' one, we can see that there's a street in the middle. However, when we see Monica's apartment, inside, and we see the balcony (and being Ross' one in front of this one) we see that there's no street in the middle of these ones, there are more buildings around them.

Correction: Monica's windows overlook an alley that shows Ross' building across an alleyway, as evidenced by the fire escape (that also is not visible from the street.) You cannot see Monica's apartment while looking at the building from the street.

MovieFan612

Correction: Well this is incorrect because when Rachel breaks up with Paulo, she throws his clothes off the "balcony" which we see from the front of the building. I think the set guys slightly messed up here.
