The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the uruks plant the bombs in the culvert at Helm's Deep and then proceed to blow it up. You see in one shot that the culvert has not been dammed/blocked in any way and in another shot you see a small stream of water flowing freely through it. Why then do we see such a torrent of water flowing trough the gap once a hole is blasted in the wall? (02:12:45 - 02:13:50)

A Walk in the Clouds (1995)
Corrected entry: In his flashbacks of the war Keanu Reeves enters an orphanage. This is written above the door of the ruin. But since it is the second world war the place is located in either France or Germany and so the sign should be written in French or German.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: In the film, the two towers in the title refer to the fortress of Barad-dur, and the tower of Orthanc. In the book, the two towers being referred to were the towers of Orthanc and Cirith Ungol, but since the film makers cut the half of the story which tells of Cirith Ungol to add into Return of the King, they had to have the second tower refer to Barad-dur.
Corrected entry: In the last scene, no one seems to think it's strange that Will is wearing a hat that's 100 years out of date.
Corrected entry: In the scene in which Elizabeth and Jack get out of the water in the small island, look at her back. You can see the strap of a brassiere through her dress, although that kind of underwear was not invented until the beginning of the 1900s.
Corrected entry: You will have to stay past the credits to see this one. The monkey swims back to shore, but you can see that he is just walking on a platform about a foot below the water.
Corrected entry: After Elizabeth has first seen the crew of the Black Pearl in the moonlight and she runs back to Barbossa who steps gradually into the moonlight to reveal himself in his skeleton form, his teeth change. The teeth on the skeleton Barbossa are noticeably straighter and whiter than his human form.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: Near the beginning of the film, Sam and Frodo are climbing down a hill. You can see that Frodo is at the bottom of the hill and Sam is near the top right handside of the hill. The shot changes and Sam is at the bottom of the hill with Frodo. That means Sam climbed down the hill in about 2 seconds.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When Sam is cooking the rabbits, Gollum goes mad and shouts 'What's it doing? Stupid fat hobbit. You ruins it.' - to cook the rabbits, Sam must have skinned them, cut them up, made a fire and found water to cook the meat in. All that must have taken a fairly long time to do, so why is Gollum asking what Sam is doing with the rabbits NOW insted of before?
Correction: In the book, Sam sends Gollum away to fetch water, and it is only when he returns that he sees that Sam has lit a fire. Even then, he is surprised when Sam says that he is going to stew the rabbits - he has assumed that they will eat them raw, as he, Gollum, would do if alone. Although we are not shown the water-fetching scene, that doesn't mean that it hasn't occurred, or even that Gollum hasn't been off on his own for some other reason and has just come back.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: Legolas can kill a giant thick skinned Warg with one arrow but cannot kill the berserker Uruk-Hai with several arrows.

Mississippi Burning (1988)
Corrected entry: Gene Hackman and Willem Defoe visits the house of Deputy Pell twice. After the first visit Gene tells Willem about the wedding photo (where some of the invitees show the Ku Klux Klan sign with their fingers). However, Gene has not seen the photo at this time. He does not see the photo until the second time he comes back to talk to Mrs. Pell.
Correction: It's fair to assume that he saw the photo during the first visit in its proper place in the living room - just because we're not shown him looking at it doesn't mean he didn't see it. This would make more sense of the second scene too - that he would bend down and pick up this particular item, of all of those scattered round the room, because he'd seen it before and it had some significance for him.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Corrected entry: When Sarah takes the broken broomstick and hits the psycho-ward guard in the face, you see a large amount of blood come out of his mouth and spray back. When she starts dragging him into the empty cell, there is no blood on the floor.
Correction: The blood only shows up as a reflective streak on the floor, because of the angle of the light, and the colour isn't obvious, but there is definitely blood on the floor as she starts to drag him away. The floor seems pretty clean when she comes out again, but the blood could have been wiped away as she dragged the body over it.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Corrected entry: When the orderlies are trying to restrain Sarah in the hallway Arnold comes along to rescue her. How does no one see a big man dress in black leather (in a white hallway) with a shotgun before he actually attacks them?

The Terminator (1984)
Corrected entry: In both Terminator movies when you look into the future you see piles of broken bricks and skulls. Only skulls. What happened to the rest of their bodies?

The Terminator (1984)
Corrected entry: Obviously James Cameron didn't have the budget to realize his full vision for this movie as he did in T2. The appearance of the time travelers is generally consistent with T2, except we don't see the actual bubble. With Reese, we see a hole in the lightning pattern, but no actual bubble. So we know Cameron was after an effect similar to T2. In T2, the time displacement dissolves surrounding matter, and causes a dimple in the ground. Same in T3. But when Arnold first appears in the first film, the ground remains completely flat. And it's pretty clear from the body position he materialized on the ground and didn't fall from the sky, as Reese did.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Corrected entry: When hiding behind the rocks and looking at Mordor, Frodo and Sam are more than willing to make a run through the black gate behind the entering column of soldiers. How on earth might they get in unnoticed, even assuming they somehow would manage to make it as far as to the gate despite the guards (which simply must exist) watching above?
Correction: That's part of the point of the scene - there IS virtually no hope, but they have to do something. In the book, Frodo puts it this way: 'I am commanded to go to the land of Mordor, and therefore I shall go. If there is only one way, then I must take it. What comes after must come after.' Until Gollum tells them otherwise, both hobbits only know of the one entrance.
Corrected entry: In the high angle wide shot of the Nazgul in a V-formation chasing Arwen and Frodo, there are only eight of them. Granted, the last one could have joined the chase afterwards, but he either would have had to have a horse that was much faster than the others, since there is no sign of him behind them, or he'd have to be waiting for them all in the trees ahead. But if so, he never jumped in front of them, which would make a lot more sense, but just joined the chase behind them.
Corrected entry: At the birthday party at the beginning of the film, Frodo pushes Sam onto the dance floor and into Rosie Cotton's arms. As they go sweeping off to the right, you see the musicians in the background. For an instant (more visible in freeze-frame), there's an object that looks strikingly like a modern bottle of mineral water by one of them. (00:20:37)
