Beavis and Butthead Do America (1996)

Correction: The authorities could easily obtain a sample of their fingerprints from any of the items they touched in their hotel room.

X-Men: First Class (2011)

Corrected entry: During the scene with the SR-71 Blackbird, while Erik is on the wheel assembly, Professor X yells 'Hank take my hand' several times. Hank is flying the plane. Erik is the one he is trying to save from falling.

Good Job!

Correction: He says Erik. Xavier's accent and the noise surrounding the scene just make it sound like he is saying Hank.

Phaneron ★

Phaneron is correct. Xavier does say "Erik." You can hear the difference, especially in the end sound where you can hear the "ik" sound instead of "ŋk" sound he makes when saying Hank's name (like he did a few minutes earlier in the scene).

He definitely says Hank. It's not even close to Erik, he's been saying Erik the whole movie and it has never sounded different due to his accent.

I just watched this scene on YouTube and he unequivocally says "Erik." You can even see his mouth move when he says the second syllable, whereas "Hank" is a one-syllable word and would not require moving the mouth mid-word.

It also becomes more obvious that he is saying "Erik" when the YouTube clip is played at slower speeds.

Spaceballs (1987)

Corrected entry: At the speed at which Vespa's car is being pulled into Spaceball-1 by the tractor beam, they would have already been captured before Lone Starr and Barf could have gotten to them.

Correction: This is kind of a joke. We even see a similar occurrence later in the movie when the heroes (or their stunt doubles) dive through a slowly closing door which then conveniently closes rapidly after they go through.

Seinfeld (1990)

The Muffin Tops - S8-E21

Corrected entry: Kramer steps back out of the view of the camera as he opens his shirt, all in an attempt to show Jerry the mistake he's making by shaving his chest. Kramer laughably shouts "look at it!" repeatedly to Jerry, who recoils in disgust at the (supposed) sight of Kramer's thickly-haired chest. The problem is that Kramer's bare chest is shown in episodes before and after and there is nothing unusual about it. In fact, just two episodes later (in Season 9's "The Butter Shave"), there are multiple shots of Kramer's chest. Were we supposed to forget about this little occurrence in Jerry's apartment?

Correction: Kramer is actually showing Jerry his genitals, which is why he steps out of shot. He mentions that he shaved that area when he was a life guard.

X-Men: First Class (2011)

Corrected entry: In the scene in the Russian diplomat's bedroom, Erik tightens the bar around Emma's neck so hard that it cracks her diamond neck. Erik says that she can't become diamond again without dying. At the end of the movie, she shifts into diamond form and the cracks in her neck are gone.

Brad ★

Correction: Erik meant that he would kill her if she changed into her diamond form again. The cracks in her neck not reappearing imply that her diamond form can regenerate itself.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Corrected entry: When Shoshanna is putting on makeup, she puts two war-paint like stripes on her cheeks. A few seconds later, they're gone.

Correction: It wasn't war paint, it was blush, which she rubbed into her cheeks, although we do not see her doing that as the scene was a montage of her preparing for the movie premier.
