Corrected entry: In the final scene of the movie, when Evolet and D'Leh are embracing by the river, the water in the river is completely static, without so much as a ripple, for the entire scene, even though the reeds are blowing in the wind.

Bee Movie (2007)
Corrected entry: When Barry is chasing after the Honey Farms truck, he grabs onto the strap of a backpack belonging to a bicycle rider, and the rider notices this and turns his head. How could a bike rider, traveling at high speed, notice that a bee had landed on his backpack?

Licence to Kill (1989)
Corrected entry: When Bond is captured in Isthmus City, he gets a bloody cut under his left ear, which heals overnight without a trace.
Correction: The cut is not under his ear, but on the side of his head (under his hair) where he is struck unconscious. When he falls unconscious, no cut can be seen on his face, which makes sense as Bond is unlikely to fall unconscious from a strike in the face.

Hostel: Part II (2007)
Corrected entry: When Paxton's girlfriend finds his decapitated body, there is nowhere near enough blood around for someone who just had his head cut off.
Correction: This is because he was decapitated earlier and layed into this position. He probably lost most of his blood prior to being set up. If he was decapitated sitting at the table, his girlfriend would immediatly have woken up.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Corrected entry: After Spock orders the search for the gravity boots, there is a scene of a crewman removing a wall panel. As he swings the panel past the camera, the dimensions of the panel are seen on the back in black magic marker.
Correction: There is no reason that panels can't have their dimensions written on them in anything that looks like magic marker.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Corrected entry: When the court is listening to the playback of Kirk's personal log stating he never could forgive the Klingons for the death of his son, General Chang is standing behind Kirk and several meters away. He asks Kirk if those were his words. Kirk says, "Those words were spoken by me." When Kirk's defense counsel objects, we see a wide angle shot of the room behind Kirk, and Chang is no longer there.
Correction: Chang is standing by the technicians operating the audio equipment, below and to the right (from the judge's perspective) from where the judge sits. The view of this section of the courtroom is obstructed by the ledge in the shot where the defense counsel objects.

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Corrected entry: Due to the regenerative effects of the Baku planet's rings, Geordi's eyes regenerate in a very short period of time. How come Picard's hair does not grow back?

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, Picard is on the collector, and Riker is able to communicate with him, even though Picard does not have his communicator.
Correction: Riker is speaking to him through the ship's comm system.

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
Corrected entry: How is it that Shinzon (Picard's clone), has the same accent? Accents are learned environmentally, and are not genetic. It's stated that Shinzon was shipped off at an early age when the plans to replace Picard were scrapped. So where did he learn the accent?
Correction: In order to replace Picard, he would have to educated like Picard. Whatever means were used to educate the clone could have included the accent (if you are beaming thoughts into someone's head, it shouldn't be to hard to adjust the accent on that inner voice they hear).

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Corrected entry: When Johnny and Ben are getting ready for the wedding, we can see that Johnny has only a t-shirt under his dress shirt. Yet after he chases the Silver Surfer and falls to Earth, he now has on his FF costume.
Correction: The FF group almost ALWAYS have their costumes underneath their "normal" clothes, Johnny most of all because he might have to burn off his clothes at a moment's notice. You never see that he's *not* wearing his outfit underneath his tux and t-shirt.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Corrected entry: The final battle occurs in China. Yet at Reed and Sue's wedding all of the women, including Sue, are wearing kimonos, a traditional garment of Japanese origin.
Correction: Just because the battle took place in China, doesn't mean the wedding does. Not only the dresses but also the garden they're in points to the fact that they have moved to Japan for the wedding.

Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
Corrected entry: When Jesse and Leslie are helping Miss Edmonds carry the boxes, the teacher's hair is cut in a short bob. A couple of days later, it's long again, past her shoulders.
Correction: Ms. Edmunds's long hair is pulled into a side ponytail during that brief scene; her hair length is consistent with the rest of the film.

Waterworld (1995)
Corrected entry: If there were enough ice on the planet that, when melted, would raise the ocean levels to the extent shown in the movie, then the saltwater would be diluted enough to be drinkable, negating the plot point about "hydro" being such a valuable commodity.

Heroes (2006)
Corrected entry: How in the world did Ando, a foreign national, get a job as a security guard, in a casino, guarding priceless artifacts?
Correction: Place a call to Hiro's dad? His father is somehow wrapped up in the unnamed organization, knows of Hiro's powers, and is somehow connected with Linderman.

Hostel (2005)
Corrected entry: When Paxton kills the "German Surgeon" near the end of the movie, there is blood and bloody water everywhere, yet when he's back on the train, there is not a spot of blood on Paxton's clothes.
Correction: The blood was coming from the mans hand and face which were both pointing down towards the ground, therefore no blood got on Paxton at any time, except maybe his shoes.
27th Aug 2005
X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When the X-Men's jet was about to crash and Magneto saves them by preventing the crash, how did he also know to repair the hole in the back of the jet? As the jet comes to a stop, the nose of the jet is facing Magneto.
Correction: Magneto's highly attuned to metals - as we see when he picks up on the metal in the guard's blood - and things constructed using them. When he took control of the plane, he sensed the disruption caused by the attack and bent the metal back into shape.

Gothika (2003)
Corrected entry: No way, no how, would a psychiatrist be placed in the same ward with people she had treated. Especially in an institution where there are people who are criminally insane.
Correction: First of all, when Halle wakes up for the first time in the hospital, they explain to her that she is only temporarily stationed in her own ward until they can find another place. Second of all, she murdered her husband, so she herself is kind of criminally insane.

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
Corrected entry: When the scientists arrive at Wildfire, Dr. Leavitt's glasses are taken away. She is told that they will be treated and returned. She says, "Good, because without them I would need a white cane." Minutes later, she reads a passage from the Wildfire documents with no glasses and no trouble at all.
Correction: I am legally blind without my glasses, but I can easily read documents. What I can't do is see anything clearly if it's further away than my elbow.

Signs (2002)
Corrected entry: These aliens are capable of interstellar travel, but they cannot figure out how to get out of a bathroom, with a wooden door and a simple lock?
Correction: Given their advanced technology they can travel across the stars. Without that, they're stuck with much the same physical equipment that humnas are. It would be easy enough to lock a person in a closet that has a deadbolt, even though humans are smart enough to figure out relativity.
21st Jun 2004
Superman II (1980)
Corrected entry: Near the end, at the Fortress of Solitude, when Lex Luthor "betrays" Superman by telling General Zod about the molecule chamber, he then tells the General "...that crystal over there activates the mechanism." How did Luthor know this? Superman did not tell him.
Correction: Because Lex Luthor had already been to the fortress earlier in the film and already figured out how to work the crystal activation mechanism.
