The Adventures of Robin Hood picture

Corrected entry: In the Archery Tournament scene, the second archer in Sir Guys team of three is introduced by the herald as Elwyn the Welshman. When they compete as individuals and he is eliminated, another herald refers to him as Owen the Welshman.

Correction: Not sure how you came up with this one. He is introduced as "Elwyn" both times, with the "L" distinctly audible. In addition, the DVD subtitles also give his name as Elwyn. There is no mistake here.

The Lady Vanishes picture

Corrected entry: The characters are traveling by train across mainland Europe. Suddenly, the train arrives at a British station. How would this have been possible in 1938, many years before the construction of the Channel Tunnel?

Correction: Then as now, trains could go on boats. (There is in fact a shot of a boat before the train reaches the station).

Bringing up Baby picture

Corrected entry: When Susan tears her dress you can see that both sides of the dress where the tear is are straight indicating that Velcro was used to make it look genuine.

Correction: Velcro was not invented yet when this movie was made. Velcro was thought of around 1948 and patented in 1955. They used something else.
