Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey picture

Other mistake: Just before the evil robots capture Bill and Ted's girlfriends, after they crash through the window, the girlfriends ask the robots: "Who are you?" and Bill goes "Well, I'm really Evil Ted!" and unzips himself and out pops Evil Ted, and the other robot goes, "And I'm really Evil Bill!" and out pops Evil Bill. When the robots are herding the girlfriends out just before knocking them out with their breath, you can see two sets of clothes in the bottom left corner if you watch closely.

The Last Boy Scout picture

Other mistake: There is a scene where Joe is shown taking a bullet for then-President Carter. We then see Darian visiting Joe in the hospital after the shooting, holding a picture that she drew for him. Darian looks to be about 6 or 7 years old, yet this film takes place in 1991, Carter left office in 1981, and she is supposed to be 13 in the movie. If she was 6 or 7 when Carter was in office, she would be 16/17 by 1991. (01:02:55)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze picture

Other mistake: During the fight scene in the TGRI building, when Michelangelo has the ooze and gets jumped for it and loses it, watch the bottom of the screen. Donatello is lying down and trying to get up. But in the next shot he's up and kicks out the ooze from the foot soldier. (00:26:35)

Barton Fink picture

Other mistake: When Barton returns to his room to find one of the detectives reading out his film script, it ends with "We'll be hearing from that crazy wrestler, and I don't mean a postcard. Fade out. The end." When we earlier saw Barton typing the end of this script, enough was visible to show that the last line of dialogue was "We'll hear from that kid, and I don't mean a postcard", and there was no "Fade out".

Other mistake: When the paperboy throws a newspaper at Hulk Hogan, and he throws it back, hits him and he falls off his bike into a bush. If you look closely, you can see him run into the bush, instead of being knocked into it.

Oscar picture

Other mistake: After Nora leaves with the wrong bag, Snaps calls the Underwood home to ask someone to come over and switch them back. Later, Nora herself returns and Aldo makes the switch for her. Then the Underwood chauffeur comes to trade the bags, and Aldo does this for him. But Aldo would've known that Nora had already retrieved the correct bag, so why would he change them back?

Fried Green Tomatoes picture

Other mistake: As Mrs. Threadgood is recounting the illness of Ruth, she mentions that Ruth was moved downstairs in the house. In fact, Ruth is actually in bed in an upstairs bedroom.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The scene was moved downstairs after Jon Avnett (the director) thought how he wanted to shoot Ruth's death. He wanted Idgie to be looking out of the window, not actually seeing Ruth when she's passes. Jon thought that they would have moved Ruth downstairs where it was easier to take care of her instead of going up and down the stairs. So Ruth actually died in the living room of the house that was turned into her makeshift bedroom.

F/X2 picture

Other mistake: There are several moments while using the clown dummy toy that make it very obvious it is an actor in a suit. Most obvious of which is that it somehow 'senses' things like the momentum and orientation of the person controlling it, when all it is shown to do is copy muscle movements/motor skills. There are far too many examples to list.

Hot Shots! picture

Other mistake: When Topper speaks to Ramada for the first time, we can see his name plate read "LT Sean Harley", whereas LT stands for Lieutenant, any army's lowest officer rank. The rank insignia on his collar, though, is that of a Captain (CPT). (00:19:19 - 00:20:09)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Topper's not in the army, he's in the navy. He has the correct insignia for a naval lieutenant.
