Corrected entry: When Wanda goes to Archie's office, Archie is told that he has a meeting at 12:15 with Sir John. When he gets the call from his assistant telling him that it's time for his meeting, his watch says 10:15. (00:33:16)

Alien Vs. Predator (2004)
Corrected entry: In the middle of the film, when the pyramid configures itself, trapping everyone in different compartments, Miller and the other guy are talking in one of the compartments, if you notice when the camera cuts to the other guy for the first time, the symbols on the pyramid are on the left of the guy, yet in other shots the symbols are on the right. (00:47:15)
Correction: If you watch in the overhead shot there are four monuments with the same symbols on each side of the room. No wonder they appear to change sides between the shots.

Alien Vs. Predator (2004)
Corrected entry: When all the doors close inside the pyramid, the woman inside the sacrificial chamber tries to put a wedge under the door. There is one box by the door and one next to the wall by the door. Just after the door crushes the box, she moves back, and the box by the wall has vanished, then reappears. ( Slo-Mo maybe required ). (00:40:35)
Correction: I watched it in slo-mo and as far as I can tell the box is in every shot, except for one where it simply is out of camera angle.

Alien Vs. Predator (2004)
Corrected entry: When we see Lex in the whaling station scene, she opens a door to see Weyland with his inhaler, if you notice when she opens the door he is holding it with his right hand, then in the following shot he is holding it with his left. (00:22:20)
Correction: There is a shot of Lex with enough time for Weyland to put the inhaler in his other hand, which makes sense as he reached for the inhaler lid with the hand he held the inhaler with first.

Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: In the middle after the gladiator match in the Roman province arena, Maximus and Proximo are talking in Proximo's place. Maximus starts laughing, and Proximo's position in the room changes dramatically between shots. (01:07:15)
Correction: He stands on the exact same point in front of the table throughout the shots until we see him walk away from the table.
26th Aug 2005
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: In the scene near the beginning when we see Maximus and Lucilla talking for the first time, after Lucilla says " Maximus stop" for the second time, in one shot Maximus is not facing Lucilla, yet in the following shot he is fully facing Lucilla. (00:28:15)
8th Jan 2005
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)
Corrected entry: In the first movie, the anaconda could be shot in the head at point-blank with a shotgun and be fine, but in this one a thrown knife to the lower-neck kills one instantly?
Correction: This is a different anaconda. It's enhanced in some areas and vulnerable in other areas.
25th Oct 2004
Scary Movie 3 (2003)
Corrected entry: At the wedding, Brenda changes her expression several times between shots when she's supposed to be dead.
Correction: This is added for comedic reason and is not a mistake whatsoever.

Scrubs (2001)
My Journey - S3-E2
Corrected entry: When the collarbone patient reveals his fiancee is a guy Turk is shocked and Dr. Cox comments "Never underestimate how much this freaks him out." Later in the episode, Turk even admits that the idea of two guys together, or even being that close to another guy, creeps him out. But in previous episodes we've seen him sleeping in JD's bed and talking to/about gay staff at the hospital and been completely normal about it.
Correction: JD is his best friend, that's why he has no problem sleeping in the same bed as him. And even if he doesn't like the idea of two men being together doesn't mean he won't talk about/to them. The main reason he's a bit freaked here is that it comes as a surprise, so he's not prepared.
25th May 2003
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: When Commodus is speaking to Maximus at the end just before the fight you can see Maximus's hand slipping out of the cuffs holding him to the wall. (02:11:05)
Correction: After watching the scene it is obvious that his hands would never slip entirely off the cuffs. His wrist is too big to get through.
27th Aug 2001
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: At the end of the first battle sequence there is a brief "victory" shot of the Roman army celebrating. Towards the bottom of the screen you can see an obviously dressed Germanian warrior cheering alongside some Roman soldiers. Wonder what he has to be happy about, except for maybe being alive in the middle of that bunch. (00:12:00)
Correction: There are no Germanian warriors anywhere near the cheering Roman crowd.
9th Oct 2003
Spice World (1997)
Corrected entry: In every scene in the front of the bus where Richard E Grant sits to use the desk/phone, there is a large board behind him with various tasks on it, one of which reads "COMPETION", rather than "COMPETITION"
Correction: So someone misspelled it. Not really a movie mistake, but a character mistake.
28th Oct 2001
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: Before one of the gladiatorial fights in the Colosseum, there are chariots with men throwing free bread to the crowd. The camera angle changes and they have moved further away from the crowd. (01:37:25)
Correction: What we see are chariots on each side of the Colosseum. On one side the chariots are closer to the crowd than the other chariots.
27th Jun 2005
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Maximus is escaping, and he sees his friend Cicero on his horse, Cicero shouts "Maximus." as he tries to warn him. The horse is startled and runs off, but the noose around Cicero's neck pulls him and flings him backwards. As he swings backwards, he hits the tree. In the next shot, Cicero is alive. But someone that had been alive, even with a noose around their neck, would have twitched, or made some indication of trying to pull away from the tree. (02:07:45)
Correction: He broke his neck and was paralyzed.
17th May 2003
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: When Maximus is being taken to be executed we see the hands of a hung, dead roman soldier. At the last second just before the camera changes you can see the man flick his thumb. (00:38:00)
27th Aug 2001
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: In the first battle against the Germanians, after the Roman army shoots their arrows, if you look hard enough, you'll notice all the soldiers aren't "real" people. Some of them are obviously mannequins and they just stand there.
Correction: I have looked but I can see no evidence that they have used mannequins, or see any soldiers that look like mannequins in the battle.
26th Aug 2003
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: At the very end of the film, Juba is burying Maximus' figurines on the floor of the Colosseum. He digs a deep enough hole to bury the bag but as he's covering it up with dirt, he totally messes up and hardly any of the bag would actually be covered if the shot lasted long enough for us to see his hand move away. (02:21:30)
26th Aug 2003
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: There seems to be a mystery surrounding Hagen. Although he dies by being shot and stabbed at Proximo's home, when Maximus dies, we see someone looking suspiciously like him come forward to carry Maximus. Does he have a long-lost twin, or is he immortal? (02:20:55)
Correction: He certainly looks like Hagen, but it isn't him.
27th Aug 2001
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: When Maximus is walking to the Colosseum and his friend uses a black-haired woman to pass him the message (his carvings), she grabs his chest plate and almost pulls off the metal horse. A second later the metal is back on his chest guard undamaged. (01:46:30)
Correction: She isn't even near his chest plate.
28th Apr 2003
Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: In the first fight in Morocco, Maximus pulls those two swords out of the warrior and slices his head off. Watch the section where the camera is behind the warrior as his head is chopped off. If you look carefully you can see that he has a dark stick supporting the head.
Correction: Not even in slow motion can the stick be seen that you mention.
