The American President picture

Character mistake: At one point Michael J. Fox says he doesn't want to end up in Danbury Correctional, why not? The Federal prison in Danbury CT would be a dream come true since he would be the only male inmate, as it became all-female in 1993.

Home for the Holidays picture

Character mistake: Claudia says she is 40, her daughter is 16, it is referenced that it was a young pregnancy, however she would have been 24 when she had Kit, hardly abnormally young.

Suggested correction: 24 is still young and she doesn't say anything about being "abnormally young." Plus, in 1979, the mean age for first time mothers was around 25.5 (rising to around 28.6 in 1995), so she was on the young side of first time mothers. If she had said she was a teenager when she got pregnant, that would be a mistake.

Three Wishes picture

Character mistake: Tom states that the Republic of China released fifteen American POWs in 1955. The People's Republic of China (Communist China) might have done so, but the Republic of China (Taiwan) has always been an American ally and would not have been holding any Americans prisoner to begin with.

Toy Story picture

Character mistake: Mr Potato Head gets torn apart by baby Molly after the opening scene. When Andy returns to the room with Buzz everyone resumes their positions, but Mr Potato Head looks for his bits and sits under the shelf with the other toys.

Suggested correction: I don't get it. When Andy and the boys are going to his room, all the toys scramble to get back into place. Mr. Potato Head is missing his left ear, and he slightly panics. When the boys get to the room, Mr. Potato Head is under the crib with his left ear back in place; he found it off screen. It's appropriate for him to look for any missing pieces of his before rushing back into place.

Under Siege 2 picture

Character mistake: After Ryback was allegedly killed, Penn claims "we got him, but the SOB killed six men." Penn would not have known this, as he was with Dane the whole time preoccupied with Dane and his plans - he was nowhere near all the killings done by Ryback and never checked with his men at the time who was still accounted for. Also, it appears Ryback killed much more than just six by then anyway.
