Need for Speed picture

Corrected entry: The plot revolves around Tobey being locked up, and that the evidence was such that there were no corroborating witnesses to show there were 3 Agera R's racing that fateful day. This is simply nonsense. There were hundreds of people in cars on the highway that could easily testify that there were three cars of the same make but different colour. There were also people that crashed because of the racing, and there's just no way that the police wouldn't get involved in cleaning that up and trying to establish how they crashed in the first place. It's inconceivable that of the hundreds of people on the highway that day in broad daylight, not one could tell the police that there were in fact 3 Agera R's racing that day.

Correction: In the movie the police state that there were witnesses that saw three cars, but no-one could place Dino at the scene. Also prior to the race Dino implied these 3 cars do not exist, so without proof of a third car showing Dino owned it and no witnesses who saw him at the scene, police didn't have proof Dino was there. Even if Dino was proved to be there, Toby would still have been charged and probably gone to prison for his involvement in the race, which led to a accident and death, so it's believable.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles picture

Corrected entry: Once the countdown to release the poison has been stopped, The Shredder cuts the supports of the tower holding the poison container so that it will fall and release the poison by smashing open. The turtles attempt to support the tower, but in order to save April they fail and the tower falls anyway. Then the movie forgets that the poison exists. The act of the tower falling gets rolled into another action sequence and after it completely smashes to the ground, no poison. The turtles don't even mention it.

Correction: The canister containing the poison doesn't smash - in the overhead shot of the tower smashed on the ground with the turtles in it, the canister is still visibly intact.

Sabotage picture

Corrected entry: If the team blows up the rest of the money, how did anyone know that $10,000,000 was missing?

Correction: They made this clear in the beginning; the FBI was carrying on a parallel investigation and they knew $200 million was suppose to be there. There seemed to be missing money, making it look like a setup. The whole point of the 6-month investigation was to determine if there was a setup.

Annie picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Annie is dressed up, the butterfly on her hair is put on the left side, but when she gives a speech later that evening it's on the right side.

Correction: The first time you see Annie dressed up, Grace is adding the butterfly to her hair on the right-hand side whilst looking at her reflection in a mirror.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier picture

Corrected entry: The room where Cap and Widow are talking to Zola is several floors below ground, yet when Cap pushes the debris off them after the missile attack, they're outside on ground level again - he looks across the road to see cars approaching. (00:58:40 - 01:04:25)

Correction: Two things wrong, they aren't at ground level and there's no "looking across a road" and certainly no cars. When Captain America gets up, he climbs up some debris, and he's still well below the agents who would be at ground level. The lights he sees are Shield planes in the sky flying above him.

Blended picture

Corrected entry: Toward the end of the movie when Tyler is playing the final baseball game and he gets his big hit, the pitched ball hits the ground just before it is hit. In baseball the ball would have been considered dead and the home-run would not have counted.

Robert Sullinger

Correction: It's a kids' league though with changed rules (every kid gets to play) so there is probably some slack when it comes to pitching.

Noah picture

Corrected entry: According to Genesis, the animals considered 'pure' shall be taken by the 7's onto the Ark, and the 'impure' shall be taken by 2's. In the movie there are 2 of every animal.

Allan Grauengaard Hedelain

Correction: This is the movie deviating from the source material. No different than how changes were made in Prince of Egypt or the Harry Potter movies. Yes, it is different that how the book says it, but that does not make it a mistake in the movie. By site policy, differences between a movie and its source material are not considered to be mistakes.

Big Hero 6 picture

Corrected entry: When Honey first meets Hiro, she is rolling a solid ball of Tungsten Carbide that is about 2-3' in diameter. Honey claims the ball is 400 lbs. Tungsten Carbide is very dense, around the density of gold, but much harder. The specific density is 0.54 lbs per cubic inch. If the sphere was only 2 feet in diameter - it would weigh approximately 3,619 lbs - or about 1.5 tons. If it was 3 feet in diameter it would weigh an astonishing 12,200 lbs - or just over 6 tons. Honey would not be able to roll it around on the floor as easily as she appears to do in the movie.

Correction: The ball could be hollow.

The Purge: Anarchy picture

Corrected entry: When the annoying and drunk neighbor, Diego, comes to the apartment of the mother and daughter to purge, he is shot down by a machine gun that was supposedly used by Daddy in the back of the van. But since the mother and daughter weren't on the first floor of the building (you can tell when they looked out the window) and they had boarded up every window for protection, how was Diego killed by the machine gun, since the machine gun operator was outside in the truck with the gun? You can hear it's the same gun as the one Daddy uses.

Correction: The guns the bad guys used to kill Diego have the same machine gun sound as the machine gun mounted in the truck that Daddy uses.

The Monuments Men picture

Corrected entry: When Claire is yelling at Stahl through the fence that she sees him and he shoots at her, her hands keep changing position on the fence between shots. (00:26:40)

Quantom X Premium member

Correction: I'm watching and re-watching and her hands stay in the same place on the fence.

Edge of Tomorrow picture

Corrected entry: When Cage and Rita get past the beach and plan to get a car, she goes for the minivan, and breaks the window of the driver's side door to get into the car. In multiple scenes the window is undamaged. When they drive out of the park, you can see the open window.

Correction: We see Rita approach the car then it cuts to Cage breaking his window, and then back to Rita who opens the door instead of breaking the one on her side.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones picture

Corrected entry: At the end of the film you can see that Jesse is in the basement and he is moving through the plastic. Some seconds after he was doing that 2 little kids appear and you can see that the 2 little kids are Katie and Kristie from PA3. But PA3 was set in 1988 and "The Marked Ones" is set in 2013. (01:07:00)

Correction: Katie and Kristie (as young girls) went through the door that takes you to unholy places. In PA3 at the end the grandma says "it's time to get ready," meaning they have to go through the door into the future in order to do that one job. It is confusing but that is how they are there. Just like Jesse's friend goes through the door and ends up in Katie's house, which is not set in 2013.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit picture

Corrected entry: When Cathy is held in the back of the jeep, her arms are restrained with silver duct tape. When Jack opens the door to rescue her the tape is gone, only to be seen around her wrists.

Correction: It appears to be some sort of strap, rather than sticky tape - it's shown to fly off (in a very brief shot) when the car she's in crashes.

Transformers: Age of Extinction picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Cade, Tessa and Share are on the wires, Lockdown's wolves start chewing off the cables. Shane then falls off and is hanging on the cable. Next shot, Bumblebee comes and then the wolves cut the cables, then in the next shot you see Shane fall and hanging on again.

Correction: They don't show Shane fall twice and hang by the cables. When the wolves are chewing on the cables, he is thrown around and looses his balance. He still continues to be thrown around when Bumblebee shows up. Which stays consistent.

The Imitation Game picture

Corrected entry: The film shows Alan Turing single-handedly building the 'Bombe' which was designed by Turing and Welchman but built by the British Tabulating Machine Company under the direction of Harold Keene.

Correction: The movie most definitely does not imply that he single-handedly built the machine. The fact that he required a hundred thousand pounds to construct it indicates that other people were involved in the construction. Just because every step is not shown does not mean it did not happen.

More The Imitation Game corrections

Correction: The shot of a Mercedes is used because Mason is having a flashback to the incident in Montenegro at the beginning of the film, as he is about to make a similarly rash decision to disobey an order from a superior officer.

Muppets Most Wanted picture

Corrected entry: Miss Piggy plans to marry Kermit, unaware that the frog is actually Constantine posing as Kermit. The church bells chime 3:00 but a few minutes later when he is standing at the altar, Constantine checks his watch and the time shown is 1:20.

Correction: The hands aren't very different lengths, but it's definitely the hour hand on the 3, making the time about 3:05.

The Fault in Our Stars picture

Corrected entry: During the sex scene, directly following we are shown a shot of Hazel and Gus. First we see the feet, then legs, however Gus is shown with both real legs, not a prosthetic.

Richie Haas

Correction: You can see three feet (two are Hazel's, on is Gus'). The shot continues and shows Gus' stubbed knee on the left.

More The Fault in Our Stars corrections

Correction: The first time, with the cans, he shoots 5 times and they reload, then he shoots 6 times. Then it cuts to the bottles where he shoots 6 times. The scene then cuts to shooting the plates, where he shoots twice, and while we don't see him reload, we also don't see the "set up" so there was plenty of time off camera for them to reload, this also becomes part of a target practice montage where we only see the shooting.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb picture

Corrected entry: During the entry into the room with the nine-headed snake, when the tablet becomes more eroded and the artifacts start to become affected; Theodore Roosevelt begins repeating "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." It is as though he's gone back to being an artifact and is repeating phrases and quotes for viewers. This quote is however by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his 1932 first inauguration speech. (01:05:00)

sharlotta

Correction: The corroded tablet is affecting the artifacts negatively. Teddy also says "ask not what you can do for your country" (JFK) and "I am not a crook" (Nixon). He's simply repeating famous sayings from other presidents, not reverting back to his original artifact form (which is also why Attila became cowardly).
