Corrected entry: When Iron Man is creating his miniature arc reactor, he takes apart a missile's core. The kidnapped scientist asks him, "what is that?" Robert Downey says, ".15 grams of palladium. I need at least 1.6 grams. Why don't you start on the other 11?" .15 x 11 = 1.65. But he already has .15 from the first one he took apart. He only needs 10 more to have enough. 11 more would give him a total of 1.80 grams. With a particle as powerful as the movie makes it out to be, that could be the difference between blowing the crap out of yourself and a working product.
Correction: He could be asking the scientist to open up the other 11 cores in case one of the samples is unusable, for whatever reason. Besides, his wording, as you stated, was "at least 1.60 grams". That means he calculated that to be the bare minimum. He does not indicate that more is a problem. In fact, he specifically implies, by saying "at least" rather than "precisely", that more is NOT a problem at all.
24th Feb 2009
Corrected entry: Corso is sitting on his bed in the Sintra Hotel and he notices the cloth (which he had wrapped the book in before he hid it behind the mini-bar fridge) lying on the floor. It makes no sense that after pulling out the mini-bar fridge from the cupboard to find the book, the thief would have bothered to put the mini-bar fridge back and the tray of glasses etc. back on top, then close the door of the cupboard.
Correction: Character decision, not a movie mistake. The thief probably did not want Corso to realize the book was gone immediately, but forgot about the cloth.
17th Feb 2009
Corrected entry: When Chewie has the shot of alcohol with the flames on the top of it, the actual flame disappears in one shot and the height of the flame differs a few times as well.
Correction: Having consumed many flaming shots myself, I can attest to the fact that the flame height and visibility can vary. In fact, I have burned myself on a shotglass because I did not know it was even lit.
21st Feb 2009
Corrected entry: Why doesn't Mary Jane know that Spiderman is Peter Parker? He speaks to her on a number of occasions and even though he's in full costume, his voice is clear as a bell - he doesn't disguise it at all. She'd recognise it from a mile off.
Correction: The same way that no one realized Clark Kent was Superman with glasses. It's part of the suspension of disbelief involved with comics and comic book movies.
14th Feb 2009
Corrected entry: Once Harry sits on the toilet at Mary's house, he lifts his legs off the floor, and his eyes are closed. Then it switches to a front shot of him a few seconds later, and his eyes are now open.
Correction: It only takes a split second to open one's eyes, not even "a few seconds". No mistake here.
13th Feb 2009
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film, when the man carrying the glass slipper on a pillow is tripped, the glass slipper hits the floor and shatters. However the glass slippers don't break under Cinderella's body weight while she is walking around in them.
Correction: Many materials, including glass, can bear weight without breaking, yet will shatter when striking another hard surface at high speed. Not to mention the fact that they were magic slippers to begin with.
21st Dec 2004
Corrected entry: During the first game against the Germans, Peter launches a ball and misses a player that ducks but the ball hits a bald player in the leg behind him. That player should have been out. (00:49:50)
Correction: Yes, he probably should have been, but the ref didn't see it. Bad calls happen in sports all the time.
9th Jul 2005
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie where all the hostages have been rescued and they have boarded the plane with all the Delta Force crew, beers are passed out in celebration. While everybody is singing and drinking their beers, you can see one Delta Force member take a sip of beer, but either the sip was laughably too quick to be realistic or the can was empty.
Correction: How long does it take to sip a beer? Many people can chug half a beer in one gulp.
7th Feb 2009
Corrected entry: If it wasn't for the contract that Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) signed to complete the last few movies, the Half-Blood Prince and to-be Deathly Hallows (to be made in to two movies) would not have happened. However, despite the success of the contract, Watson has revealed that she will no longer be acting after the last installment of Harry Potter.
Correction: Without quoting a source, it's impossible to say for sure that the final three movies "would not have happened". Even though Watson is now identified with the character, it cannot be said for sure that the studio would not have recast the part. The franchise is too profitable.
1st Feb 2009
Corrected entry: As Two-Face is talking to Salvatore Maroni in the car, you can see they are driving past buildings and cars. After Two-Face shoots the driver, it is shown that the car flips over near a railroad.
Correction: There are many cities that have railroad tracks going right through the middle of them, past buildings.
3rd Feb 2009
Corrected entry: In the men's room, the father admits to having had sex with Alex, but gives no details. House goes back and tells his team that the father said yes and was drunk. We don't learn he was drunk until later when Alex is talking to Cameron.
Correction: House is making an educated guess that the father was drunk.
22nd Jan 2009
Corrected entry: All airliners are pressurized in flight to approximately 8000ft, and any item inflated at ground level would have higher pressure, thus when the aircraft is pressurized in flight the difference in the lower cabin pressure and the higher pressure in the inflated item would risk it exploding, for this reason it is a requirement to deflate all items such as footballs and bike tyres before being placed on the flight. For this reason Wilson the football should not have been put on this flight.
Correction: People get away with putting unauthorized items on passenger flights and cargo flights all the time. The fact that Wilson should not have been on the flight does not make it a mistake. Also, the sender may have been unaware of this and the airline would not know the contents of the box.
13th Jan 2009
Corrected entry: During the opening bank robbery, the Joker is holding the gun and shooting with his left hand until he shoots the final robber. He shoots the last robber right handed and is right handed for the rest of the scene.
Correction: Where's the mistake? Many people are equally skilled with their left and right hands.
5th May 2004
Corrected entry: When Beverly imagines that all the bodies surrounding her in the morgue are sitting up, she closes her eyes and thinks, 'go away'. After reopening her eyes, they're all back, lying horizontally. But directly after reopening her eyes, you can see the corpse left behind her is still sitting up. (00:23:25)
Correction: The original post is referring to when the camera lingers on Beverly just before the cutaway to the wide angle shot. During the linger, the corpse over her shoulder remains sitting up even after she opens her eyes.
Correction: I just watched this episode, and looked for the mistake. When Beverly opens her eyes, all of the corpses are lying down.
27th Jun 2005
Corrected entry: When Armus engulfs Riker and then covers the shuttle, shouldn't there be a bulge to show the first officer's position?
Correction: We do not know the exact nature of Armus or his abilities, so we cannot say for sure if such a bulge should appear.
4th Jun 2006
Corrected entry: In the scene where Picard is walking towards his house with his nephew, the cameraman walks backwards and there are tall bushes on the left side of the screen. As the cameraman walks backwards, he brushes up against leaves and small branches and you can see them move after he walks past them.
Correction: The movement of the bushes is being caused by Picard's nephew, who is hiding behind them.
23rd Nov 2003
Corrected entry: When the elves are tying up the security guard, one of the elves is holding his ribbon-sprayer, but nothing is coming out of it.
Correction: Watch closely. Three of the elves are spraying the police officer and one is standing next to Charlie watching and laughing. The three doing the spraying all have ribbon coming out of the guns.
31st Dec 2008
Corrected entry: There is a snake in the Hall of African Mammals, when it is a reptile.
Correction: I have been to the Museum of Natural History many, many times. Many times, different animals are added to the dioramas just for effect and for scenery. There are fish in some of the displays in the bird exhibits as well.
29th Dec 2008
Corrected entry: In the Harvey Dent party scene, where The Joker crashes the party, we see a piece of hair across his forehead towards the beginning, but around when he sees Rachel, it disappears.
Correction: We actually see him wet his fingers and move the lock of hair when he sees Rachel and says, "Well hello beautiful".

Correction: It has been established in previous episodes that Walt "sees" things and knows things that no one else does. He could have simply seen the name Jeremy Bentham" in a dream or vision.
