Corrected entry: We can see them flying around the museum with the right brothers plane. However that plane could only fly a few feet and not such a long way.

Troy (2004)
Corrected entry: In the beginning you see a dog walk past several relics of a battle. This includes a dead horse. However you can see it blink and move it's ear even when all other items suggest the battle to be long past.

Silent Hill (2006)
Corrected entry: When Cybil speaks to Sharon in the car, Sharon's comment is that she doesn't talk to strangers. Three quarters of the way through the film you see Sharon in Dahlia's house. If Sharon doesn't talk to strangers then why is she in her house?

I Love You, Man (2009)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Peter was on the phone with Lou Ferrigno, after the phone call, Sydney tells Peter that he donates blood every few weeks. The real time span is supposed to be a minimum of 56 days (8 weeks). Although Sydney makes it sounds like he goes every 2-3 weeks, he would only be able to go about every 2 months.

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Corrected entry: When John infiltrates Skynet and frees the human prisoners, a screen depicts an overhead view of all the cells (or at least the section of cells where Kyle Reese is contained), with the prisoners being represented by red dots. When he unlocks the doors, one can observe on the screen that all the doors are open, even though Kyle's door is still closed.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)
Corrected entry: If Bison's Irish parents died when he was a baby in Thailand, why does he have an Irish accent?

50 First Dates (2004)
Corrected entry: There's no way Lucy could keep thinking it was the same day for a year. Her period would be the most evident signal that time kept going by.

Up (2009)
Corrected entry: After Russel reads the page ripped from the library book (the one showing where Carl and Ellie were going to live), Carl grabs it and puts it into his coat pocket. Later, after the house settles down, Carl withdraws it from behind him. He wasn't wearing his coat at that time, so how did the paper jump between those two places? (00:25:35 - 01:09:45)

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)
Corrected entry: When Larry is walking away from Brundon, you can see Brundon in the distance and he is simply walking. When the camera cuts closer to him, he is playing around with the flashlight. When the camera cuts back to Larry with Brundon in the distance, Brundon is simply walking again.
Corrected entry: In the fight scene between Larry and Kahmunrah, Larry throws the tablet to Amelia Earhart. When the shot cuts to Amelia, you can see that two of the squares on the tablet are turned. In the first movie, the tablet didn't work when squares were turned, so none of the exhibits should be alive.

Star Trek (2009)
Corrected entry: After encountering the Narada, the Kelvin receives a transmission from one of Nero's crewmembers instructing the Captain to fly over. Remember, the Kelvin pre-dates the divergence in the timeline, and in the prime universe, no human or Romulan had seen the other until more than 30 years later. So the Kelvin should have assumed the man was a Vulcan and asked questions accordingly, such as, "If you're Vulcan, why attack us?"

Wanted (2008)
Corrected entry: Early in the movie, Wesley is talking about his father leaving when Wesley was only 7 days old. Part of his monologue was what his father must have said when his father left. "Did I just father the most insignificant a-hole of the 21st century?" Wesley Gibson is at least in his 20s. The movie came out in 2008. As a 7 day old, we would be the "most insignificant a-hole" of the 20th century, not the 21st.

Star Trek (2009)
Corrected entry: Nothing can escape a Black Hole once it crosses into its Event Horizon (the point of no return). Even with warp drive engines, the energy required to escape a Black Hole is infinite and the Enterprise/Narada would have run out of power before being able to escape. Not only that, but they would have been shredded by the gravity shearing effects.
Correction: Two things about warp drive engines. One, they allow for Faster Than Light travel. Black holes can only pull objects in at the speed of light. Warp drives are therefore faster than black holes. Two, warp drive engines are fictional. Straight up. So they can do anything the film makers want them to do, so long as they keep it consistant. As for "gravity shearing effects": again, this is fictional technology. Any ship that can travel faster than light is guaranteed to have some sort of inertial dampeners to protect it from precisely this. Matter of fact, Spock specifically mentions this feature when the Enterprise is first taking off at the near-beginning of the movie.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: In the first scene of the movie, men are shown hunting when they come upon the transformers building the machine that destroys suns. There is a tiger in this scene and we know the machine is under the pyramids in Egypt. Tigers have never evolved in or made it to the African continent. (00:01:25)

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
Corrected entry: In the scene of "21st Century Cure", the gravestone moves back easily when Shilo leans back and looks around the gravestone. (00:10:40)
6th Dec 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: Early in the movie, Bella is sat around the table with her friends as they teasingly say, "My girlfriend!" Then one of the boys runs up behind her and kisses her on the cheek. If you watch Bella's reaction, she barely even flinches. She has only been a student at the school a short time. Don't you think this is an odd under reaction for someone who has just had wet lips of a total stranger pressed on them from behind?

Knowing (2009)
Corrected entry: During the class at the beginning, the teacher says, 'Yesterday, the staff selected the winning idea' for the opening contest. It would take a lot longer than 24 hours for them to build the time capsule, the hole in the ground and the lid to cover it. (00:02:15)
Correction: Time capsules, and all the accoutrements, like what is shown are purchased from a manufacturer, not made by the individual or group using them. These could easily be acquired in less than 24 hours.
Maybe today, but in 1959? Us mail wasn't that fast (still isn't).
They also had to make the custom copper cover, the hole in the ground to put it in, the banners, etc all in a very short time frame. Possible if all those supplies are locally available I guess in a small town, but unlikely.

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
Corrected entry: When Pamela Landy is telling Bourne his "real birthdate" (4/15/71) on the phone, Vosen is wiretapping the call and listening to it. Although it is the encoded address of the training facility, Vosen does not react. But after the failed meeting at Tudor City Pl. he needs to ask his crew about the date and is shocked immediately then. (01:19:20 - 01:28:20)
Correction: Vosen is listening in to the call between Bourne and Landy when she gives the coded birthdate. Vosen may either not know, or remember David Webb's real birthdate, which is why he doesn't immediately react. It's only after someone at the command center realized the date given was not Webb/Bourne's birthdate that they figure it must be a code, and Vosen puts together that it's the address of the training center.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: At the beginning, after Bumblebee blows up the house, when Sam tells him to get in the garage, his mouth doesn't move.
19th Nov 2009
Land of the Lost (2009)
Corrected entry: The fossil of the imprinted lighter was from "250 million years ago". But the events of the movie happened in an alternate dimension - so the fossil would not have been found on Earth.

Correction: It's Wright brothers, not "right" brothers; and everything in the movie happens because of magic. Plastic figurines can ride squirrels like they were horses, and the Lincoln Memorial can walk around without shattering itself, but an airplane can't fly? Sorry, not a mistake.
