Corrected entry: Ghosts don't crossover as long as they have unfinished business. Casper's father had invented a machine called the lazarus, in a quest to bring Casper back to life, but he never got it to work. Therefore, Casper's father should have stayed as a ghost until he succeeded.

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Corrected entry: After John traps the motorcycle terminator, he hotwires it and rides off. Why would an autonomous robot have external controls such as an accelerator or brakes?

The Dark Knight (2008)
Corrected entry: When the chase begins on the lower fifth the van carrying Harvey Dent is struck from behind by the garbage truck. When it hits they cut to a shot inside the van showing Dent being pushed back against the wall behind him in reaction to the crash. But Dent is sitting in a sideways-facing seat, facing the driver's side of the van. When the Van was struck from behind Dent's body should have been pushed to his left.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
Corrected entry: According to the newspaper Charlie is reading (with current headlines, obviously not an old paper) toward the beginning of the movie, we see that the movie is set in June 2010. It's stated numerous times that Riley has been missing for over a year, yet his poster says he was last seen in May of 2010.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Corrected entry: At one point in the film, Benjamin de-ages too quickly. In 1941, in a scene taking place just after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he is shown as having a head of severely thinning white hair (long white hair, but thin on top). Four years later, in 1945, he has a full head of thick blonde hair, without so much as a receding hairline. If you reverse it in terms of a normal aging person, this means in only 4 years his hair very noticeably thinned out and turned from completely blonde to completely white. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the film, in which he seems to de-age at a more normal rate.

Blade II (2002)
Corrected entry: Nyssa describes vampirism as an arbovirus where vampires are the vector. However the definition of an arbovirus is as an arthropod-bourne virus - arthropods are invertebrates with exoskeletons(insects). Not vampires.

The Book of Eli (2010)
Corrected entry: When Eli and Solaris are on the boat and the guard from Alcatraz yells down, Eli states that he has a KJV (King James Version) of the bible. After the bible has been printed the cover says NKJV (New King James Version) there are some differences in the translation.

The Book of Eli (2010)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the movie (near the 101 minute mark) while quoting verse 2 from memory of the King James Bible the words "was hovering" is quoted. The word should have been "moved." Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009)
Corrected entry: When "Sardine Land" is unveiled, Flint says behind the pillar "I just need 16,000 more gigajoules", or something similar. Joules is a measurement of FORCE, not ELECTRIC POWER (hertz).

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
Corrected entry: In the Scene where Dastan and Tamina are underground and the landslide begins, Tamina seeks refuge by climbing up the stairway, while Dastan is swept down and has to superjump over the Abyss to the door on other side. How then did Tamina manage to cross the Abyss and help Dastan defeat the Hassasin on the other side?

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Corrected entry: In the scene (after the barn was destroyed and wolverine got away with bike) where wolverine is being hunted by a helicopter he is approaching two military humvee's. First is ripped by his claws and when he approaches second vehicle you can see how he grabs the handles of the vehicles and gets on it. Illogical thing here is that they move to each other but he grabs the handles as he would grab them like they stand still or moving in parallel. (00:51:50)

Tremors (1990)
Corrected entry: When Rhonda has just dug a hole to bury the sensor, the shovel is spotless, but it should have at least been dusty from digging.

The Transporter 2 (2005)
Corrected entry: When Frank rolls his car in mid-air to tear the bomb off with the crane hook, this is totally unreal. The car weighs much more than the crane hook, so it would just bounce the crane hook out of the way. This trick would only work if the crane hook was welded solidly to the jib.
Correction: First of all, the stunt is in its entirety ridiculously impossible. Ironically, the specific part that this entry takes issue with is actually feasible. The hook is only snagging the bomb, not the car, so it doesn't matter if the hook has more mass than the car; it just needs to have more mass than the bomb.

Robin Hood (2010)
Corrected entry: In the teaser trailer as the Frenchmen are attacking the beach, one of them has a shield that is visibly flapping, as if it is made of wet cardboard rather than wood.

Correction: No, ghosts who have unfinished business may choose to cross-over or choose to stay in the hopes of completing their business; they don't have to stay. Even so, Casper's father built the machine to bring his son back to life. Once he died, he'd no longer need his son to be alive in order to be with him again. That means he had no unfinished business.

Not to mention it is from a newspaper that Casper's father was declared insane and presumably sent to a mental institution which were quite inhumane and horrifying at that time with their treatments. It's sad to think of, but quite possible the institution drove him to a point where he wasn't in a condition to care about coming back as a ghost to bring Casper back to life any longer.
