Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Corrected entry: When the giant glass window breaks, Samuel L. Jackson and the blonde girl are literally about a second away from being cut down by the water and glass flooding in, but from another angle they are way ahead of the water.

Correction: If you watch closely you will see that they are consistantly the same distance from the glass. There is no jumping over a huge distance.

Corrected entry: When the Goblet of Fire is about to reveal who the three champions are the clock strikes 9. But if you listen carefully while Dumbledore is talking it only rings 8 times.

Correction: There is alot of background noise making it hard to hear the chimes. Missing one is very easy.

Family Guy (1999)

Correction: The equation ( 1 1/2a 3=1/8 )stays the same throughout.

Family Guy (1999)

Correction: It's not unsual to have multiple instances of the same machine in an arcade.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: Around halfway through the movie we have some shots of the band live. If you look for it, you can see their new bassist in there, but this is way before they show the bassist auditions and their picking him.

A l e x

Correction: This is a documentary, not a movie. Since it is a documentary, you can have scenes involving the bassist before they show it.

Friends (1994)

Correction: At one point they get a new table, and this is where it changes colour.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: Henchmen are shown flying a helicopter over DC, with automatic weapons and such. After 9/11, DC has very strict airspace security, and a helicopter flying around without broadcasting its position would be beset by fighter jets in no time at all, especially if the helicopter was carrying armed men.

Razvaluha

Correction: The hackers have access to all communications so could therefore prevent the summoning of any jets. Not a mistake.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: When McClane and Farrell are stealing the BMW 5-series in Washington DC, Farrel hits the cars bumper with a trash can in order to deploy the airbags and prevent McClane from disabling the vehicle. Airbags do not deploy if vehicles are hit on the bumper with small objects, only if the vehicle is hit with sufficient force to trigger the airbag, usually by another vehicle or a large stationary object.

Razvaluha

Correction: This is a valid mistake but your reasoning is incorrect. There are compression sensors across the bumper and if sufficient pressure is applied the airbags will deploy BUT ONLY if there is also sufficient deceleration detected by the ACU (to prevent such unnecessary deployment). As the car is stationary it is not possible to set off the airbags in this manner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bag#Triggering_conditions.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: Near the start of the chase involving the HAZ-MAT van and the semi, John runs into a black Mercedes Benz car, skewing it round to the left of the cab, later on in the chase, he hits exactly the same Mercedes.

Correction: There must surely be two black Mercedes Benz cars as the first one is all smashed up.

Death Race (2008)

Corrected entry: When explaining about the car, 'Coach' points at the twin guns on the cars hood saying "and twin 30mm, belt-fed machine guns for offense". Looking at the guns one can easily say that those are not 30mm guns. Such guns are mounted on anti-tank aircraft and measure few meters in length, plus of course have much wider barrels. the guns on the car are at best 30 caliber ones, which is 7.62mm.

Correction: 'Coach' could have meant 30 Cal, not 30mm, making it a character mistake. If the the script has it as 30mm then it's a factual error.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: The news broadcast showing panic on the stock markets is shown shortly after McClain arrive in DC. However the speaker says panic broke out "this afternoon". But it's morning.

Jacob La Cour

Correction: Simple character error that "afternoon" was said instead of morning. It happens.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: When McClane is attacking the helicopter from inside the tunnel, the guys in the helicopter see him coming when he is still deep inside the tunnel. They would not be able to see that the car was moving - let alone that it is McClane attacking them.

Jacob La Cour

Correction: If you look carefully, the lights are on at the top of the car and flashing. They can see that the vehicle is moving towards them and they know he went into the tunnel in one, so it's easy to presume that they know it's him.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: In the final image (before the credits) that zooms out from the plane at the airport, the plane only has one wing. The far wing should be visible at least a little due to the angle, but it just isn't there.

Correction: If you look under the plane you can see its shadow.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: After the Dragon Chase, Harry has the use of both arms in the scene where he opens his egg and makes up with Ron, yet his arm is in a sling in the following scenes - where Ron opens the box with his dress robes in, and for the dance lesson.

Correction: Harry is on a high from passing the task, so likely isn't going to feel the pain while is on an adrenalin rush. When the excitement wears off, the pain appears.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: When Harry is at the bathroom he looks at the golden egg you can see a crew member reflected on the egg.

dell

Correction: At no point is a crew member reflected in the egg. I have just studied this scene three times.

Family Guy (1999)

Correction: It does flip if you look carefully.

Family Guy (1999)

Correction: Some time has passed between those two shots since they are now in the countryside. Therefore we don't know if the family stopped for a toilet break or something where they would have changed place.

Death Race (2008)

Corrected entry: It's established that whenever Machine Gun Joe kills another racer, he cuts his face in the "tick mark" style - four vertical marks followed by a horizontal one (as his scars show.) After killing Grimm "Reaper," he is shown making a horizontal mark, but the leaderboard in subsequent races shows his kill count as something that's not a multiple of five (and he didn't score any more kills in the meantime, remember).

Correction: It's established that every time Machine Gun Joe kills, he adds a mark, however, it doesn't state whether it's on the track or not. So it cannot be viewed as a mistake since he could have killed off the track.

The Chase (1994)

Correction: They argue a fair bit during the film. please be more specific.

Black Hawk Down (2001)

Corrected entry: When Durant is in the small room he is shooting through the holes in the walls at attackers. Even though the bricks making up the wall are large, none of them are ever hit by a bullet.

Correction: How is that a mistake? Surrant was firing through the wall. The attackers might not know where it is coming from so not fire at that wall. Hence, no bullet marks.
