Corrected entry: Sharon Stone repeatedly smashes her car into De Niro's in the driveway, yet if you look closely in the shots as she gets out of the car, there is no damage to the front of her car, not even a broken headlight or glass on the driveway.
Corrected entry: Not really a mistake, but notice that the auditioning wedding singer from the first film and the foreign man that buys the Banks' house in the second film are the same man.
Correction: Yes, it's actory Eugene Levy, who is almost always in every Steve Martin film. If you are a fan of Steve Martin films, you would recognize that and not be surprised that Levy had a role in the second film as well.
Corrected entry: At the end, when the spikes rise from the dragon pattern on the floor, if you look carefully you can see that the spikes are tearing through tin foil.
Correction: The Dragon Symbol could well be made from tin or otherwise a similar metal with the rows of spikes pushing up from holes in the stone underneath. In this way combatants may walk/fight across it quite effectively and yet the spikes can be released easily.
Corrected entry: Just before Sid blows up the Combat Carl figure, he throws a cement block at the figure, just missing it. Then we see him lighting the explosive on Carl and then he blows up. When we cut back to a wide shot of Sid's garden, the block has been moved to the other side of the garden, nowhere near where it landed before Sid lit the explosive.
Correction: Because the explosion was strong enough to make some debris hit the upstairs window where the toys were watching, it would have moved the brick (which was a lot closer).
I'm pretty sure that ONE explosive can't blow something as heavy as a cement block across a garden that easily.
Correction: The block is already gone whe he lights the firecracker. Between throwing the concrete and lighting the firecracker, Sid had plenty of time to move the concrete block to where we see it later.
Corrected entry: When Brodie and Jay are talking about destroying the stage Jay points out the Death Star-like weaknesses on the reverse (blank) side of the folded blueprint.
Correction: As you mentioned, the blueprints are folded, therefore Jay and Silent Bob are looking at the half of the blueprint that they have doubled over.
Corrected entry: At the end, when Tommy and Zalinsky are on the news, Zalinsky clearly unbuttons his top button and loosens his tie. In the next shot, it's buttoned, then in subsequent shots, it's unbuttoned again.
Correction: The shirt is unbuttoned throughout the whole scene. It looks like it is because the television shot is grainy.
Corrected entry: When Gabriel goes to kill Simon in the school house, Gabriel leaves a dead and charred Simon flat on his back, arms out. When the police are there afterwards, the steaming remains of Simon show him clearly on his side in something of a curled position.
Correction: The human body, alive or dead, curls when it is burned because of a shinkage caused in the tendons.
Corrected entry: This film is a very loose adaptation of the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel.
Correction: Not trivia. It even says in the opening credits "Freely adapted from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne", so it's really too obvious.
Corrected entry: When the two trains crash into each other at the end if you look closely you will see that Ryback's train is derailed before it actually hits, causing the other train to hit it on the side, rather than the front. (01:33:50)
Correction: It isn't derailed at all and they do hit head on.
Corrected entry: The side of the Holland's moving truck says Superior Fast Freight. Freight trucks only carry consumer goods and wouldn't be used as a moving truck. (00:36:40)
Correction: Not necessarily true. My ex-husband works for an insulating company, and he has used his work truck to help me move 3 times just as a favor, because the truck he drives is perfect for moving.
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie when his mother is being taken to the hospital, the passenger side headlight is not working. When the ambulance arrives at the hospital both headlights are working.
Correction: Loose wire or a broken filament would cause the light to work intermittently. Not an error.
Corrected entry: Early in film, there is a wide shot of the New York skyline that shows the Twin Towers, but this is a period film of the 1960's. The Twin Towers didn't exist until 1972.
Correction: Jim Carroll's memoir recounts events from the 1960's. The film version is actually set in the early 90's.
Corrected entry: In one scene Dredd and his buddy have to run to a tunnel with fire to get back in the city. When they are about to go into the tunnel fire shoots out of it, but when they are inside the tunnel the fire shoots from the opposite direction.
Correction: After Rob Schneider falls, Stallone ran back to save him, which is toward the way they came. He then shoots out some of the floor and jumps into a tunnel that leads out to where they had started, outside.
Corrected entry: The number of scars on Wallace's chest during the execution scene changes from two to four between shots.
Correction: Those are actually blood splatters from his stomach just being cut open and his intestines pulled out.
Corrected entry: The gun that the bookie fires at Banderas in the bar has a silencer on it, but when he fires the gun at him, it sounds like normal gunfire.
Correction: Not a mistake, reality strikes again. Real silencers don't produce the characteristic whisper as heard in many movies, they only reduce the sound of the shot to a sharp crack.
Corrected entry: Hunter gives the order to fire torpedoes 2 and 4. The external shot shows the torpedoes firing from opposite sides of the sub. On all US submarines, tubes 2 and 4 are on the same side.
Correction: The Alabama does launch from tubes on the same side. It is the enemy Akula that launches from opposite sides in that sequence.
Just watched that scene on YouTube (which may or may not have been a thing when this correction was originally posted). Alabama fires from opposite sides, like the Akula. It just shows both bays on the starboard side open.
Corrected entry: The film is set in the 1850s on a high-class country estate in England. One can see the badly-disguised outline of a grass tennis court on the "lawn", and perfectly neat stripes on the lawn seemingly created by a late-20th century lawn-mower...
Correction: The same effect can be achieved by rolling the lawn with large metal rollers - definitely done in those days, and still used on cricket pitches, etc.
Corrected entry: One of Malagant's knights holds Guinevere captive and tells Lancelot to throw down his sword. Lancelot drops the weapon at his own feet and takes a few steps forward to reason with the knight. Later on when the knight is dead, Lancelot simply bends down and picks up his sword from the ground. How did it get there? By right it should have been a few yards BEHIND him.
Corrected entry: At the end when Sharon Stone's character shoots Hackman the second time, you follow the bullet in-eye as it approaches Hackman's head. You see and hear Hackman screaming after the bullet is shot. That is not possible. A bullet from a Magnum revolver would go 1500-2000 feet the first second. And with Hackman standing a mere 50 feet away from the Magnum, he wouldn't be able to open his mouth before the bullet hits his head and kills him.
Correction: Ellen's gun is not a Magnum of any sort. It is a Single Action Army of the Quickdraw 4 and 3/4" barrel. It fires a .45 Long Colt cartridge which in almost every variant has a velocity of 1000 feet per second or less, not the 1500-2000 listed. It does not change the overall point, but the details are definitely incorrect.
Corrected entry: Twelve Monkeys may be one of the most subtly subversive commentaries on the Catholic Church (or Christianity in general). The themes and images in the movie, from the prophecies to the Doctor's claim that psychiatry is "the new religion" to the Mary and Jesus like pose in the end, suggest an underlying religious message. Consider the fact that Cole was "sent" in order to "save" mankind from death (brought by a charismatic gentleman with red hair, no less), resulting in a future in which the elites of the establishment control the "cure" and determine who will "ascend" to the world above. Other allusions include the "army of the twelve monkeys" (re: twelve Apostles), the word "Chris" on Cole's shirt (only missing one letter), and Cole's visions of his death. (One more: Cole's first name begins with a "J." Think initials.)
Correction: All of this is your opinion, and is a pretty broad misreading of Christian dogma anyway. Christ was not sent to save man from death; theologically speaking death is regarded as the transition to the afterlife, not something to be avoided. Christ was set to redeem our sins, something not even hinted at in 12 Monkeys. Who is the 'charismatic gentleman with red hair' supposed to be? I can find no reference anywhere in the Bible to such a character. Finally, comparing the twelve apostles to plague carrying monkeys isn't something I'd try during a Papal audience. This is just an example of looking for significance that just isn't there.
Correction: You can see that there is damage to the bumper and section under the bumper of the Mercedes. The bumper becomes misaligned and is pushed in. Also the license plate falls off. This damage can be seen when the police officers walk up past the Mercedes. She is really running that Mercedes into the other car.
