Corrected entry: Right before The Kid knocks down Morris in the alley with his motorcycle, he is seen driving through the alley and you can plainly see that the driver of the motorcycle is white. (01:14:10)

The Omega Man (1971)
Corrected entry: After Neville shoots his rifle at the mutants, you see him going back into his house and holding the rifle by the barrel as he puts it in the corner. He would have burned his hand.
Correction: He only fires 3 or 4 shots, it would take quite a bit more to heat up the barrel.

Gangs of New York (2002)
Corrected entry: When Amsterdam sees the man who told Bill who he was, he walks up to him with his hands in his pockets. Camera angle changes and his hands are now at his side.
Correction: The first time Amsterdam and Johnny meet one-on-one after the betrayal Amsterdam has his hands in his pockets, then takes them out and reaches for a beam. There's nothing wrong with this scene.
3rd Aug 2003
Gangs of New York (2002)
Corrected entry: When Amsterdam is fighting with the police officer, the policeman is seen with his gun in his hand and he fires it as it's pointed straight up. The camera angle changes and the policeman now has his hands around his neck and the gun is nowhere to be seen. (01:53:25)
Correction: Mulraney visibly dropped the gun.
3rd Aug 2003
Gangs of New York (2002)
Corrected entry: When Bill calls Jenny up to the stage, Amsterdam stands up and reaches over to help her up. Camera angle changes and he is seen standing up again.
Correction: He is not getting up in the second shot but just straightening a little.
3rd Aug 2003
Gangs of New York (2002)
Corrected entry: When Bill is talking to Amsterdam about fear being the reason he has lived as long as he has, the camera cuts to Amsterdam and you can hear an audio clip that was added after the scene was shot.
Correction: I have listened to the scene several times and I couldn't hear anything strange.
3rd Aug 2003
Gangs of New York (2002)
Corrected entry: When Bill thanks Amsterdam he kisses his own hand and lays it on Amsterdam's head. Camera angle changes and his hand is now on his forehead.
Correction: There's a huge bunch of hair hanging over Amsterdam's forehead that, in the first shot, may give the false impression that Bill lays his hand on top of Amsterdam's head. If there's a difference it may be an inch or less.

About a Boy (2002)
Corrected entry: When they are at the hospital, you can hear a phone ringing in the background but the phone is ringing as if it's located in the U.S. (one long ring).Phones from the U.K. ring differently (two short rings together).
Correction: If it's a modern phone, it's probably got a configurable ringing tone.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: When Bilbo is giving Frodo the sword and apologizing to him for giving him the burden of the ring. Bilbo sees the ring on Frodo's chest and after making the evil face Frodo buttons the shirt back up and covers up the ring with it being tucked inside his shirt. The camera angle changes and Frodo is seen walking up to Bilbo and the ring and necklace it is on is now outside of the shirt. (01:34:53)
Correction: I've checked this and it seems as if Frodo did not have the time to really close this last button. Instead he clasps his hand over the ring to protect it, which is why you can see it later when he walks up to Bilbo.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: When Elrond tells the group that someone in the group needs to take the ring back to Mordor to be destroyed, the wide camera angle of the group shows Boromir with his right hand on his chin sitting straight up. The camera angle changes to a close up of him and he hand is now rubbing his forehead as he speaks. (01:29:52)
Correction: He had plenty of time to get his hand into this position during the shots.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: When Aragorn is telling Gandalf that they must turn back during the avalanche, Gandalf is seen as being about 5 feet in front of him but when the camera angle changes to a wide shot, Gandalf is now seen about 15 feet away from Aragorn. (01:40:45)
Correction: Gandalf is not followed by Aragorn, but by Boromir, so Aragorn is always further away from Gandalf. You can identify Boromir in the split second when the group is shown from behind and Legolas passes by: first he passes by Aragorn, then by Boromir - this is when Boromir turns his face sideways you can identify him.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: The tool chest that Catherine is thrown into changes position from when she hit it to when she is getting ready to climb into the plane with John.
Correction: It doesn't change position other than when she hit into it, causing it to move. She crawls away from it while John and the Terminator are struggling.

Phone Booth (2002)
Corrected entry: When Captain Ramey first talks to Stu, he is smart enough to figure out that there is a problem with Stu staying on the phone but he's not smart enough to figure out that Stu was trying to protect Kelly by saying that she wasn't his wife. Ramey even asked to see her I.D. again and after finding out who she was and even after seeing the laser on her, he still lets her walk all around.
Correction: The laser was for emphasis of what Stu was feeling. There was no red dot on the pimp or anyone else when the sight was on them, and the only other time we see the red laser dot was when the sniper asked Stu if he could "feel" the gun pointing at him, and then the dot was used to show that Stu felt the snipers sights on him. Ramey never saw a laser on her because there was no laser, and logically, why would the sniper have a laser on his gun if he was trying to remain hidden? Ramey only figures it out later that there is a sniper, although he did begin to assume that somethings not right from the start. This is why Kelly walks around, because the police chief did not know what the situation was.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: When Saruman uses his magical powers to bring an avalanche down on the group, Legolas is seen standing to the right of Gandalf but when the avalanche starts he is now standing to his left. (01:41:17)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: When Catherine is escaping from the female terminator she runs out the front door of the animal hospital without unlocking it. She locked it when the woman came in with her cat Hercules.
Correction: It's pretty obvious that the T-X isn't the most courteous of machines...more than likely she just pushed the door open, breaking the hinge and the lock right off.
2nd Jul 2003
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: When the female terminator arrives at the animal hospital we hear the glass from the front door breaking. When Catherine escapes through the same doors, there is no broken glass. The female terminator then walks through the same doors and the door on the left shows the broken glass that looks like it's been cut out.
Correction: What you hear is the glass that she cut out break when it's dropped on the floor, not the door itself.
20th Jun 2003
Hulk (2003)
Corrected entry: When Betty walks down the stairs to calm the Hulk her hair is completely dry until she meets him face to face and then her hair is completely wet.
Correction: From the shot from above we see the Hulk has pulled up a fire hydrant, creating a shower of water that would have gotten Betty wet as she approached the Hulk.
24th May 2003
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Corrected entry: When Bruce gets beat up by the gang they show the word "HERO" carved in his driver's side door. The gang did not have enough time to do that during or after the fight.
Correction: The fight could have taken longer than what we see on screen. Would we really want to see a guy being beaten up for 10 minutes?
6th Sep 2003
About a Boy (2002)
Corrected entry: You can see the packaging from the Sony Discman on the table before Marcus opens that particular present which Will gave him.
Correction: Duplicated mistake.
16th Jul 2003
Spy Game (2001)
Corrected entry: Right after Nathan and Bishop are finished talking on the rooftop, Bishop is seen slamming down a chair next to the table. The camera angle changes to a wide view and the chair and table are gone.
Correction: The table and chairs are seen fairly clearly in all shots.

Correction: Well, Prince is fairly light skinned. In certain lighting he could be mistaken for a white guy. Prince is an avid motorcyclist so he probably did the riding secenes himself.
