Corrected entry: When Merry and Pippin run in on the Secret Council, you can see Elrond watch them come past him. However, for a few frames you can see that he keeps looking at where they came from even when they have gone past him. This is probably because they were superimposed on to the film.

Thunderbirds (2004)
Corrected entry: When the Hood is arrested by the police, surely it is ridiculous that he is still powerless. He should have recovered by that point and be able to escape easily using his powers.
Correction: Under normal circumstances, the Hood would have recovered quickly. On this occasion, though, the hood had used his powers quite heavily and would therefor be fairly weak (he would have also been weakened further by his telepathic battle with his niece, Tintin). Therefore, it would take him a lot longer than usual to recover his full strength & power.

Stormbreaker (2006)
Corrected entry: Alex is remarkably fast at drying himself following his scrape in the tank. No gadget Smithers gave him is an automatic self-dryer.
Correction: Alex wasn't dry after being in the tank, his hair was still wet and skin does tend to dry pretty fast.

Stormbreaker (2006)
Corrected entry: MI6 in this film appears plain stupid. Not only do they leave Alex looking nothing like a computer geek, they also fail to remove his normal mobile phone with crucial details on it, which break his cover. For the Special Operations Division of MI6 they seem to be doing many plain stupid things going way beyond character mistakes.
Correction: First - you are stereotyping the features of a computer geek. There are many film characters that don't look too geeky, like Seth Green in the Italian Job etc. Secondly - maybe Mi6 didn't know about him taking his phone with him and thought he was intelligent enough not to. So it was a character mistake on Alex's behalf.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
Corrected entry: As a shot of the Vicar zooms out to the exterior of the church, on either side of the inner doors you can see two portraits - one of Nick Park and the other presumably Peter Lord.
Correction: The two portraits depict Nick Park and co-director Steve Box, NOT Peter Lord.

War of the Worlds (2005)
Corrected entry: When Ray Ferrier walks to the area where the lightning struck 26 times in one place, he walks past a number of cars which are between him and the camera. In the window of the last one he walks past, you can see a cameraman looking into the lens of the camera filming the shot.
Correction: The reflection in the window of this car is a gentleman with a baseball cap simply walking past the car, along with the rest of the crowd on the busy street; he does not look into a lens, nor is there any lens or any other camera part visible in the reflection.

Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers (1993)
Corrected entry: When Wallace drops out of bed, into the kitchen and has jam splat on his face, the jam is 'fired' automatically. But earlier when we saw the same thing happen, Gromit needed to press a button to 'fire' the jam, so it would land on the toast.
