Corrected entry: The Ice Princess falls face down from the skyscraper, but lands face up on the lighting button, without enough time to turn around. (01:15:10)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Corrected entry: When Bellatrix Lestrange comes out of the shadows laughing and saying, "He knows 'ow to play," her mouth is noticeably still.

RV (2006)
Corrected entry: When the two families are eating together outside around the patio table, Cassie is told that she is in fact eating deer organs, so she runs into the RV with a mouthful of the food and it is all around her lips. As soon as she get to the bathroom to discover all of the skinned deers hanging inside, her mouth is suddenly empty and her lips are suddenly all clean, so that she can scream.
Correction: It's not inconceivable that while she is running to the bathroom, she spits out the organs, and wipes her lips, then just needs to go to the bathroom to rinse her mouth out.

Scream (1996)
Corrected entry: In the garage, Tatum can't escape because the killer locked the door. But once Tatum's killed, the killer leaves the garage without unlocking the door. (01:02:35)
Correction: Tatum walks into the garage, leaving the garage door wide open. The killer then slowly closes the door and locks it. Tatum tries to open the locked door, then opens the outside garage door. Tatum walks over to see the door open half-way, then close, and turns to see the killer in front of the, now unlocked, garage door. Even though the killer is wearing a GhostFace mask, I doubt he can walk through a closed and locked door.
The problem here is Tatum attempts to open the door a second time, mid-fight with Ghostface, and it's still locked. She then turns around and throws some bottles at him before beginning to crawl through the doggy door opening. Then Ghostface casually opens the door without unlocking it. The only explanation I can come up with is if he has a key to the door and unlocks it off-screen as she is being killed.

Amelie (2001)
Corrected entry: When Amelie quizzes Nino on proverbs, she says "One swallow doesn't make a...", and Nino replies "Summer" according to the subtitles. But Nino actaully says "printemps", which means Spring.
Correction: Subtitles do not always translate literally. This one gave an English expression equivalent to what was being said.
24th Jan 2007
Congo (1995)
Corrected entry: Karen asks Charles' for his co-ordinates so they can link up again, but she must already know them in order to currently be linked with him.
Correction: He called them. She needs his co-ordinates to be able to call him back.

Congo (1995)
Corrected entry: When everybody lands after parachuting out the plane, Munro says he has to sedate Amy. But in the next shot she is very much wide awake.
Correction: He says that the pill will calm her down, jokingly refering to it as "Gorilla Prozac" in the plane. Then he says that she woke up on the way down, biting him. He even remarks that she has quite the sharp set of teeth. It merely knocked her out for the jump, and even that dose was shown to not be enough.

Congo (1995)
Corrected entry: Charles and Jeffrey have to swim through deep water to get to the city of Zinj. The group only walks through ankle deep water to get to it though.
Correction: They swin "under" a rock formation to get to it in, at most, 10-15 feet of water. The second crew has Amy for their guide, and she leads them to the most direct route to the mines, which just happens to be a different path altogether.
14th Jan 2007
Congo (1995)
Corrected entry: When they find the pit where the gorillas put dead bodies, only Jeffrey and Charles are in there, when seven others were also killed. (01:25:10)
Correction: Perhaps it's because Charlie and Jeffrey were the only two killed at the mine, while the others were killed at camp. Since the other seven members were never shown again, this is not a continuity mistake, as the gorillas can do whatever they want with the bodies.

Amelie (2001)
Corrected entry: After the woman hands the pay-phone to Nino, at the funfair, she walks off, and in this shot the pay-phone is completely bathed in sun. In the next shot of Amelie, we see the pay-phone in total shade. (01:10:00)
Correction: That's because the payphone Nino uses is facing the opposite way to the one Amélie uses. It stands to reason that if the sun is shining on his, hers, which is facing the other way, would be shaded by the surround we can see on the phone.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Corrected entry: When Gort emerges from the spaceship and walks down the runway, as he walks, wrinkles and bends are quite visibly made in his 'metal' body. This happens in later parts of the movie as well. (00:10:15)
Correction: When in the film is it ever stated that Gort is made of rigid metal? How would he walk if he was? It is obviously some futuristic super-durable plastic, which flexes and bends as he walks, as Kevlar does.
13th Jun 2006
RV (2006)
Corrected entry: When the Munro family leaves the station, we see a wideshot and the RV had the diesel pump still attached in the pump hole. In subsquent shots the pump has vanished.
Correction: The RV is seen as it takes off from the gas station, with the broken gas pump attached. The RV is not seen again until after the Gornickes pick up the laptop stealing folk singer, and the gas pump is indeed still hanging out of the gas tank fill spout.
25th May 2006
Children of the Corn (1984)
Corrected entry: When Burt throws the flaming alcohol bottle at the end of the movie, when it hits the ground, the dirt sets alight and the fire spreads. You can clearly see that flammable liquid has been poured all over the dirt, in order to make the fire burn. (01:21:45)
Correction: The flammble liquid was the 'gasohol' that he fed through the sprinkler system, with the intent of setting the cornfield on fire.
28th Sep 2006
Batman Returns (1992)
Corrected entry: If Batman's little Bat-Gadget had enough force to knock out three henchmen, then how come it doesn't harm the poodle which jumps up to retrieve it? (00:53:00)
Correction: Much the same way that if you threw a frisbee really hard at someone it would hurt quite a bit, but dogs can catch them with great ease when properly trained.
20th May 2006
Final Destination (2000)
Corrected entry: Crew spotlights are reflected in the kettle.
Correction: Those are not reflections from the crew's spot lights, but rather the track lighting on the kitchen ceiling.
6th Apr 2006
Freddy Vs. Jason (2003)
Corrected entry: In the corn scene, Jason is set on fire, and then takes out his machete and the sheath is still on, but then its gone after the machete is thrown into the air.
Correction: After Jason pulls out his machete, there are several shots where he is not shown and the camera is on the kid he is chasing. He had plenty of time and opportunity to remove the sheath.
12th Jul 2006
Will & Grace (1998)
The Kid Stays Out of the Picture - S5-E3
Corrected entry: When Karen enters Grace's apartment, she states she didn't get any sleep at all last night. Then, two minutes later she says "All I know is, when I woke up this morning there was red hair on my pillow and lesbian porn in the VCR."
Correction: That's just a turn of phrase - she may well have dozed off sporadically but to all intents and purposes she got no sleep.
30th Jan 2006
Will & Grace (1998)
Corrected entry: When Will is talking with Jack in the pub table as they eat, Jack gives Will some helpful advise unintentionally. Between shots the green napkin Jack wears jumps onto the table. (00:19:20)
30th Jan 2006
Will & Grace (1998)
Acting Out - S2-E14
Corrected entry: When Jack is first talking to Sally at NBC, she is wearing a red hat with a brim. Later on when Will comes to the office she is wearing a dark purple turban. This is caused by a deleted scene. (00:13:25 - 00:14:40)
8th Sep 2005
Red Eye (2005)
Corrected entry: When Jackson is trying to open the bathroom door with the knife, he finally does and the key falls out of the hole. Later Lisa goes to the same door and locks it, with the key magically back in the hole. (01:07:20 - 01:08:55)

Correction: The Ice Princess is facing Batman at the top of the building -- in other words, her back is to the ground. She falls backwards. The closeup shots of her falling, she is face-up. And she lands face-up. She was never face-down.
