Corrected entry: When Indy threatens to blow up the Ark, at the moment when Belloq says, "Okay, Jones, you win," you can see in the background Toht (dressed in black) sitting on the rocks next to two German soldiers who have Marion as a prisoner in between them. When Belloq grabs a machine gun from one of the other soldiers and tells Indy to blow up the Ark, Toht has disappeared and there are just Marion and the two German soldiers (no Toht).

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Corrected entry: Barbara tries to escape from the zombie that is chasing her by getting into the car, once she is inside the car, she releases the handbrake and turns the steering wheel as the car rolls down the gradient. How was it possible for Barbara to release the steering lock without using the ignition key? The key was in Johnny's pocket.
Correction: In 1967, all cars did not yet come with locking steering columns.

Alien (1979)
Corrected entry: After Kane has volunteered to be in the first group to go out, Dallas says "you too Lambert". After she replies "swell" Dallas says "I'll break out the weapons" - where are the weapons that Dallas is referring to? Why could these not have been used to arm the crew, when the Alien was loose on the ship instead of trying to hunt for it in the air shafts with a solitary flame thrower?
Correction: If they shoot the Alien its blood will leak everywhere, and the blood is highly corrosive so it would go through the floors and potentially breach the hull of the spacecraft. They are trying to herd it with the flamethrower once they realise it is afraid of fire.
They don't actually know that it's afraid of fire, that is just an assumption made by Ash in relation to most creatures retreating from fire. But as Ash is trying to help the Alien that may not be true in this case.
The weapons that Dallas is referring to is a space age looking pistol, Kane is holding one when he gets attacked by the facehugger.
If you remember Parker says "It's got a wonderful defence mechanism, you don't dare kill it".

Correction: Toht walks away. You can see him get up and move to the left when Belloq grabs the machine gun and screams "Zuruck."
