SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Correction: Who knows? The people of bikini bottom might have ears, and we just don't know it.

Orphan (2009)
Corrected entry: When Kate and Esther are in the hospital and Kate rushes to Esther and slaps her. Her fake teeth would have been knocked out in the process. Since she was hit so hard you could see some blood.
Correction: This is purely subjective. First of all, the fake teeth were probably held in with some type of denture adhesive. Second, you don't have to slap someone all that hard to draw blood. Esther was caught by surprise, so the slap could have caused her lip to get cut by a tooth.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
SpongeBob's House Party (aka Party Pooper Pants) - S3-E10
Corrected entry: Patchy's hook hand switches hands throughout the episode.
Correction: One of the running gags on the show is that both Patchy's eye patch and hook switch from right to left continuously.
8th Jul 2008
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: The road to the Krusty Krab changes depending on the episode. Like in "Your Shoe's Untied" it is a crossroad, but in "Pickles" it's just a road going to the side.
Correction: And sometimes the Krusty Krab is a long distance from Spongebob's house, and sometimes it's literally right across the street. Normal continuity does not seem to apply in Bikini Bottom. Things shift and change all the time, on purpose.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
No Weenies Allowed / Squilliam Returns - S3-E6
Corrected entry: When Patrick punches Spongebob, he appears to have a black eye. It disappears immediately after he smiles.
Correction: All of the characters in the show get hurt at one time or another, and then the injuries immediately disappear. It's one of the main, ongoing sight gags of the entire show, and it's done entirely on purpose.
Correction: Since when does that happen? I've seen a lot of the series, and that has never happened so this is a mistake.
1st Jul 2005
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In some episodes, SpongeBob's house is apparently an actual pineapple (e.g. "Home Sweet Pineapple"), but in other episodes, it is apparently made of wood like in "Opposite Day", when they tear down the house and rebuild it.
Correction: Things in Bikini Bottom change all the time. For example, sometime's Squidward's house is there, and sometimes it's not.
29th Jun 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: When Bumblebee bumps into Sam, you can see the silhouette of the stunt driver in the car.
Correction: Transformers can project holographic images of drivers.
22nd Jun 2009
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
No Weenies Allowed / Squilliam Returns - S3-E6
Corrected entry: In "Squilliam Returns," Spongebob is confused that a waiter goes to tables and takes orders. However, in some episodes earlier in the show, Spongebob waits tables.
Correction: Spongebob has also been shown to be none too bright...plus, the show by its nature has little or no continuity between episodes.
20th Jun 2009
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Pranks-a-Lot" Spongebob is still wearing his socks and shoes when invisible. Shouldn't they have noticeable stains after they become visible again?
Correction: It's a cartoon. Most things in the Spongebob universe do not follow reality. Things appear, disappear, and change instantly and constantly all the time.
20th Jun 2009
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Pranks-a-Lot" there is one prank where Spongebob and Patrick paint a mustache on Squidward. He runs out of the house, and the mustache is gone.
6th Oct 2008
Mirrors (2008)
Corrected entry: In the last few minutes of the film when Ben realizes he is in the mirror-world and not his own, he crosses a street just before touching the mirror. If this was in fact a "mirror-world", in the cars the drivers' side would be on the right, and the street signs on the poles would also be reversed, none of which is the case.
Correction: If you pay close attention, there is no yellow or double yellow line down the middle of the street, indicating that it's a one-way street. Therefore, there is no mistake.
20th Jan 2009
The Unborn (2009)
Corrected entry: When Casey is at the library, the librarian brings her the book of mirrors and opens it. Yet Casey still has to open the book after the shot changes angles.
Correction: The librarian never opens the book. She simply tells Casey to handle the manuscript carefully.
29th May 2009
Lost (2004)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of season five, they talk about how they need to get the nuke to destroy the energy at the swan. However, according to Newton's conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So blowing up this pocket of energy with a bomb is futile, as it just wouldn't work. However, this is a major plot device, and Farraday, who is a very 'intelligent' physicist, is the one to come up with this pointless idea.
Correction: We do not know what kind of energy is in the pocket, and thus we cannot know why Faraday believes detonating the bomb will neutralize it. It cannot be concluded, with certainty, that his intention is to "blow up" the pocket of energy. Perhaps he believes, for some reason, that the nuclear blast will somehow neutralize this pocket of energy, rather than destroying it. Plus, we have repeatdly seen violations of the laws of physics on the island.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Corrected entry: When the assassins are coming to kill the emperor in the beginning, watch as one slices a hole in the cloth from outside. The cloth has obviously been pre-scored to easily cut, as several mini-cuts are visible.
Correction: What you are seeing is where sections of the tent have been stitched together. The reason the assassin is cutting there is because it will be easier to cut along the stitches.
1st May 2004
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Corrected entry: It must be nice to be the captain. Kirk's chair now has arms that fold down across his lap to hold him securely in place. However, they decided that just about everyone working along the sides of the bridge doesn't even deserve a chair.
Correction: First, the captain is arguably the most important person on the ship, so apparently the engineers felt he warranted extra protection. Second, design choices on the ship's bridge are not movie mistakes.
19th May 2009
Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when we see Wall-E go home, we see a holographic commercial advertising the Axiom. We see people of all ages in the commercial, kids, seniors, and adults, but when Wall-E actually arrives on the Axiom, we only see adults and babies. Where are kids and seniors?
Correction: Two reasons. First, the commercial is just that, a commercial. They can put whatever they want in it. Secondly, just because we don't explicitly see seniors and children, doesn't mean that they are not there. They are not critical to the story.
21st May 2009
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: Around the middle of the Wormy episode, Squidward and Mr. Krabs are believed to be eaten by the "monster" according to Spongebob and Patrick. We all know they obviously weren't eaten, so where were they the rest of the episode?
Correction: They simply were not featured in the remainder of the episode. It's not a mistake.
17th May 2009
Star Trek (2009)
Corrected entry: On the inhospitable ice planet, why is Spock living in a cave? He tells the young Kirk that there is a Starfleet Outpost nearby (presumably well-heated), yet apparently he never actually tried to seek shelter there until he had someone to go with him?
Correction: He is living in the cave because he does not want to interfere with the time line any more than he already has. By isolating himself, he can avoid interfering.
23rd Mar 2009
The Last House on the Left (2009)
Corrected entry: In the very last scene, when the guy's head is put in the microwave and exploded while he is still alive, this wouldn't work as microwave ovens do not work with the door open, as a safety precaution.
Correction: Early in the movie, Dr. Collingwood mentions something about "fixing the microwave" (or getting it to work again). It can be inferred that later on he modified the microwave to allow it to operate with the door open. In fact, on many older microwaves, it's not that difficult to do.
9th Dec 2008
Punisher: War Zone (2008)
Corrected entry: It makes no sense for the FBI to release Jigsaw and Looney Bin Jim from their custody, especially without surveillance. Even though they want them to go after the Punisher, they know full well that they intend to kill the family of the dead undercover FBI agent and will kill more innocent people in the process, which they do.
Correction: It makes sense if the FBI agent in charge is corrupt, which he is.
