K-Pax picture

Corrected entry: When Prot is taken to the planetarium, he is told to map out the orbital path of K-PAX. When Prot is shown mapping on the board, the sounds and movements of the pen do not match up with what Spacey is doing on this board.

Correction: There is nothing that indicates that what is written will immediately show up on the screen. Perhaps there is a delay between the time the image is drawn to the time that it appears on the overhead.

Someone Like You picture

Corrected entry: When Jane buys the shirt for Ray, she actually takes it off the rack twice.

Correction: She doesn't. She is about to pick one shirt up, then quickly puts it back on the rack, and it's very clear she picks another one up - she just does it quickly, that's all.

Shaolin Soccer picture

Corrected entry: Sing gets into a fight with the gang, and he kicks a football right at one of them. The football hits him in the stomach and sends him flying in the air. In the next shot we see him making a couple of spins and falling flat on the ground, but the football has magically disappeared. Then, in the next shot, another gang member has the ball. (00:20:30)

Correction: When the thug that rolls over several times gets hit with in the stomach by the ball, it flies away by the impact, it doesn't stick to him. That's why another guy has it directly after.

Angel Eyes picture

Corrected entry: When J-Lo is rescuing the guy at the beginning, the accident scene is at night time. When "Catch" finally remembers the accident, it is daytime.

Correction: It is true, J-Lo rescues him night time, but the accident happened in the late afternoon, because Jim Caviezel's son had a birthday party in the afternoon, and it is possible that when the cops, firemen and paramedics arrive, it has already turned dark.

Corrected entry: At the end Richie is hit in the right eye, but a bandage is later seen over his left eye.

Correction: No, it isn't.

Crazy/Beautiful picture

Corrected entry: As Carlos is being driven home after the football game, Nicole is seen in the passenger seat, then in the back seat with Carlos then in the passenger seat again.

Correction: You watch Nichole crawl into the backseat, so her being back there is not a mistake (but her reappearing in the front seat is).

Gosford Park picture

Corrected entry: During the shoot daffodils in bloom are visible. Pheasant shooting finishes at the end of January. Daffodils in England are seldom in full bloom until late February or early March.

Correction: The director has actually been very clever and done his research. It seems that back then, when the film is supposed to take place, daffodils were in full bloom at the end of January.

Mulholland Drive picture

Corrected entry: In the studio while listening to the singers, the director has his headphones on. we can see the wire running down from them. Then he stands up and walks towards the actors or whoever, and there's no wire at all. When he returns, the wire appears again.

Correction: As he walks back to his chair, you can clearly see that the wire of his headphone is connected to a receiver from a wireless system, which is attached to his belt. Even when he walks up to the singer, we can still see the wire of his headphone.

Bandits picture

Corrected entry: There's a part where Bruce Willis and Kate are in a bed, with a curtain dividing the 2 sides of the bed. At one time Kate is on the side of the bed towards the wall and after a few frames, Bruce is now on that side. Very obvious mistake.

Correction: This isn't a mistake, though I thought so too at first. The shot where Bruce is on the right side and Kate is on the left side is like that because it is showing Billy Bob's point of view via the mirror.

Soul Survivors picture

Corrected entry: In the scene when Matt, Annabelle, and Cassy are at the bar after Cassy's swim meet, Cassy slaps Annabelle across the left side of her face. Annabelle crashes into another table, but when she gets up, she grabs the right side of her face.

Correction: She doesn't grab it, she wipes at a cut that was probably caused by a piece of flying glass. You can see the small streak of blood on her face just under her eye and she looks at her fingers, to see the blood on them I assume.

Not Another Teen Movie picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Jake is running to the airport to find Janie, the door falls down when he knocks on it but in the next shot where the other person is looking for Janie and he goes to the house, the door has some how got back up and placed itself exactly where it was in the first place.

Correction: If you watch the scene closely, Ricky is putting the door back into place at the start before running from the house with the door in place.

Metropolis picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Kenichi and his uncle obtain the robot detective, in one of the shots "Metlopolis" is written on the glass. (00:11:15)

Correction: This is not actually a mistake. In the Japanese language, Ls and Rs are interchangeable, seeing how this feature originated in Japan, I doubt it's a mis-spelling.

Say It Isn't So picture

Corrected entry: In the sceen where Gilly is smacking the cow, right before his hand goes in you can clearly see a clear plastic glove that goes up past his elbow (made for cattle and other large animals) and it wasn't there before and then his shirt covers it up.

Correction: I thought I saw that too, but I realized that it was just the sun shining on his arm.

Mr Bones picture

Corrected entry: On his way to Sun City Mr. Bones catches a fish (a Japanese gold fish, it seems) in a lake. In close some fish are seen swimming in a shallow, artificial pond. (00:18:00)

NancyFelix

Correction: The pond should actually be artificial since it is located on the golf course and at Sun City certain water hazards do contain Japanese Koi fish.

Last Orders picture

Corrected entry: Helen Mirren boards a bus which is an old fashioned Routemaster. When she disembarks, the bus is modern with automatic doors.

Correction: She's going quite a long way to visit her daughter in the institution. It's perfectly possible that she changes buses. There is no need to show this.

Hornblower: Mutiny picture

Corrected entry: Captain Sawyer confronts Wellard, saying that his authority was by grace of King George II. The film is set in the early 19th century, and George II had been dead for over 40 years. Had Sawyer received his step from George II, it is unlikely that such a noted sea captain would not have received his flag years before. Promotion to flag rank was by way seniority and the latter half of the 18th century was a time of almost constant warfare.

Correction: The "authority" Sawyer was referring to was the Articles of War - enacted in 1749 under George II. These articles laid out actions that are criminal offenses on navy vessels, like mutiny and disobeying orders, and the penalty for committing them (mostly death). Sawyer refers to the Articles on several occasions, and there is even a scene where he is reading them to the full crew on deck.

Freddy Got Fingered picture

Corrected entry: When Gord's friend drops in on his halfpipe and falls, the skateboard flies over to the steps of his house. Then in the scene where it shoes his friend's broken leg, Gord is holding the skateboard. Then Gord's dad comes out, picks up the skateboard (which is on the steps), and throws it at him.

Correction: Gord's friend's skateboard did go over the steps and his Dad did throw it back. But the skateboard that Gord was holding was his own.

Sweet November picture

Corrected entry: When Sara Deever tells Nelson that October is almost over that he could be her November, later, she tells him that she had an October, but if it's still October and she's keeping men in her house for a whole month, no more, no less, then why isn't the man who is her October still there, therefore, making her have to devote herself to the other man before she picks up Nelson?

Correction: Sarah tells Nelson when they're eating outside at her home that her October was the shyest man she'd ever met. He asks her if the patient was cured, and she replies yes, and that the cure worked too well, and they had to terminate the month early.

Monster's Ball picture

Corrected entry: While in bed during the second & final sex scene, Halle's bra strap is black, but when Billy Bob returns with ice cream & they move out to the steps, her bra strap is now white.

Correction: Halle is wearing a necklace. From one angle this necklace looks a bit like a white strap, bit it isn't. Halle's bra is hidden under her gown throughout the whole scene.

AntiTrust picture

Corrected entry: Before Milo goes to the party, he finds out that his girlfriend has sesame seeds in her art box. When the girlfriend goes up to check what he's doing, Milo quickly puts the sesame seeds into the art box, then the little container (which originally contained them) and then the bigger container. Later on, at the scene where she cooks dinner, Milo checks to see if his girlfriend used the sesame seeds to poison him. He checks only in the smaller container, and never in the art box itself, where he had dropped them earlier!

Correction: This may have been deliberate - it would certainly explain why the seeds could not be found, but had not been used to poison him.
