Corrected entry: God tells Bruce he can't mess with free will. However, he does when he makes Evan say lots of crazy stuff on TV.

Correction: He doesn't change Evan's mind such to make him want to say the gargled messages, he's merely controlling Evan's mouth as opposed to changing his thoughts. His will remains unchanged. On the other hand, forcing Grace to love him would be different than simply forcing her to utter the phrase "I love you" without her meaning it.

Except that Bruce is making Evan say gibberish against his own free will.

Free will is based in the mind. Bruce is only controlling Evan's body.

I think it could be argued either way. Bruce was controlling Evan physically (in addition to the gibberish he makes his voice higher), but Evan may still have had the free will to not open his mouth. We don't see the extent of Bruce's power though. Could he have forced Evan say something against his will? (i.e. something he would never say or believe). Since we don't see that, the correction seems more valid than the mistake.

Corrected entry: When all the cars move out of the way for Bruce's car the traffic lights are blinking very quickly.

Correction: This is part of the parting of the traffic. The lights change to green all the way down for Bruce's Saleen while the cars are turned to the side of the road. Bruce made them change for him.

They don't change to green though. They continue to flash amber the entire time, never once turning green. What's more, the speeding up is ONLY when the cars move, and when Bruce speeds off, going back to normal in between. It's a mistake.

The lights are flashing yellow as in God cautioning Bruce about using his powers for selfish reasons. Much like earlier in the film when Bruce asks for a sign.

Yeah...no.

DragoTime

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce transforms his beat-up car, two boys are seen skateboarding in that direction. They are seen staring in awe at the car before the car actually changes. (00:45:10)

Correction: The first time you see the boys, Bruce is already in his car. He changed the car right as he got in the car (notice the interior). That's why when they asked if it was his car, he said sarcastically "It gets me from A to B." The car was already a Saleen.

Nope. When the boys roll up, we are still seeing an exterior shot of the car, with the car unchanged, and the boys amazed.

DragoTime

Other mistake: Early in the film, Jim Carrey is watching TV during a sports segment. He is watching Channel 7, the station he works for. This clip they showed was of actual WKBW sports director John Murphy. The clip they showed was taken directly from a real WKBW newscast, with the authentic news set, and graphics. However, when they show a clip of Ch. 7 News later, there are completely different graphics, and a completely different news set, both made for the movie.
