Corrected entry: Gray and Zach are given VIP passes that mean they don't have to wait in line for attractions. However, they are seen queuing for the Gyrospheres.

Interstellar (2014)
Corrected entry: When Cooper is in the 5th dimension, he only "sees" Murph's room so he uses the books and the watch to communicate with her, but she takes the watch off the house and takes it to the lab in NASA and the watch is still "shaking" in Morse outside the room and the house, where Cooper can't manipulate gravity.

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, Frank Bennett is killed and his body is barbecued to hide it. We hear Curtis Smoote talking about how good the barbecue smells. Problem: numerous true-crime reports where human beings were actually cooked, all report that the smell of human flesh was intolerably foul and very strong. Even if Smoote has a terrible sense of smell and it didn't bother him, it would have reached the restaurant's customers and/or neighbors, who would have reported that the smell was awful.

Tangled (2010)
Corrected entry: If the floating lanterns are close enough that Rapunzel can see them from her window every year, then that means the tower is close enough to the castle that the tower would not have been that hard to find.
Correction: She refers to them as floating lights. Flynn (Eugene) says 'the lanterns' while he is tied to he chair.

G.I. Jane (1997)
Corrected entry: When Jordan has a drink with her crew at the bar, before she goes into the ladies, she has a bandage around her right hand, and in the ladies she has the same bandage, but when she comes out, the bandage is gone.

The Black Hole (1979)
Corrected entry: The oscillating light on V.I.N.CENT's front alternates patterns from a wave pattern from his right to left, then a straight line right to left, then in a wave, then a wave from his left to right.
Correction: Why does the light pattern have to remain the same? He's a robot so it presumably serves some function. The pattern may change as the data being processed to perform that function changes. Or maybe it's purely decorative and just changes to be visually interesting. We don't know because it's never discussed.

Frozen (2013)
Corrected entry: When Anna first arrives at Wandering Odin's Trading Post, she does not have any snow on her at all (nor did she before falling into the stream). However, when Kristoff arrives, he is covered head to toe in snow.

A League Of Their Own (1992)
Corrected entry: Player Helen Haley has an American accent all the way through the film. However, at the reunion, the actress playing older Helen says, "it's doctor Haley now. I'm a doctor!" with a European accent.

City of Angels (1998)
Corrected entry: In the scenes where the angels gather at the beach to watch/listen to the sunset, they are casting shadows on the sand. However since they don't have "bodies," there shouldn't be any shadows from them.

Gilmore Girls (2000)
Corrected entry: In season 1, episode 7 (Kiss and Tell), Lorelei tells Rory to go to the bathroom so it won't look like they were coming back to the living room (where Dean was) together. Rory opens the door in the small hallway leading from the kitchen to the living room and goes in. We assume it's the bathroom. Then in this episode, Rory tells Lorelei to get rid of a box in which she had put all of the things that reminded her of Dean. Lorelei agrees but when she leaves Rory's room she goes to the same place in the hallway where the bathroom presumably was and opens the door to reveal a coat closet, not a bathroom. It's the only door there. This space is confirmed as the coat closet in "Love, Daisies and Troubadours" when Rory finds the Dean box. (00:39:00)
Correction: So Rory didn't go to the bathroom. She honored the spirit of her mother's request by hiding and not returning to the living room at the same time as her, but saw no reason to go all the way to the bathroom for no real reason.
It is possible that Rory was hiding in a closet; however, in later episodes, they do reference a downstairs bathroom. Luke asks Kirk why he won't use the downstairs bathroom and Kirk says that the tile on the downstairs bathroom hurts his knees.
Sookie went into the infamous closet/bathroom and referred to it as a bathroom asking if "the silver bottle on the sink is soap".
Correction: There has been other references to the downstairs bathroom throughout the seasons but then yes it somehow turned into the coat closet, and I couldn't find any other logical place it could be.

The Incredibles (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene after Helen and the children have reached land after swimming in the water, Helen's hair is sudden much longer than her natural short hair style.

Gremlins (1984)
Corrected entry: When Billy is having car trouble before work, he opens the bonnet and a lot of steam rises from the engine. VW Beetles have air cooled engines, which do not contain water to create steam.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Corrected entry: For an alleged spectator sport, the Triwizard Tournament is remarkably unfriendly to spectators, with the First Task the only one of the three in which they are able to witness the action going on (since the second task takes place at the bottom of the school lake and the third in an overgrown maze of hedges). Watching the three tasks is presumably the whole point of the tournament, and the justification for cancelling an entire year of Quidditch, a much more spectator-friendly game.
Correction: For one thing, at no point is it ever stated to any degree that the Triwizard Tournament is a spectator sport. Quidditch is cancelled so the champions can focus on the tournament instead of the Quidditch season, and so the maze can be grown on the pitch. For another, the audience for the third task is sitting in bleachers a hundred feet up; they can see everything just fine.
If they could see everything in the maze, Moody would have been caught helping, Krum would have been arrested for using unforgivable curses and everybody would have freaked when Harry and Cedric disappeared for a few hours.
This is quite a good plot hole IMHO. They ship several years' worth of students from two schools to Hogwarts for the Tournament and cancel Quiddich etc. for everyone, for the purposes of the tournament. It's not like they share classes or anything - the Ball and that's about it. If not a spectator sport - and what sport isn't? - why not just send the champions off by themselves and not disrupt anyone else. And why have the crowds at the lake, staring at the surface of the lake for hour?
It's not a sport. It's a brutal competition between the 3 best students of 3 schools. All year around the students of 1 year of the other 2 schools are at Hogwarts and the tournament is going on. There are still classes, since only 3 students are supposed to participate anyway but if they don't allow students to go watch the 3 tasks when they happen they'd probably refuse to follow classes and riot. So they let them watch, even though they can't see anything of it.

The Expendables 3 (2014)
Corrected entry: At the end, the timers restart counting down from 3 seconds - not enough time for Barney to get to the roof and run across it before the building blows up.
Correction: The building was wired to blow sequentially, from one side to the other. The building did, in fact, start blowing up well before Barney got to the roof, and was very visibly still blowing up as he ran across the roof. The film does not even try to convince the viewer that Barney got out of there before the explosions started. It's a pretty intense moment, actually, as he races the explosions across to the helicopter.

The Expendables 3 (2014)
Corrected entry: When Barney's new "team" is captured, he is given 48 hours to rescue them. In that time, he flies 6000 miles from Romania to New Orleans in a 300 mph turboprop, does maintenance on the aircraft, picks up his old team, and flies another 6000+ miles to another country, where the team enters a decrepit hotel to effect a rescue.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Corrected entry: As part of the preparations for Bill and Fleur's wedding, Mrs. Weasley confronts Charlie about his hair, and he is later observed to be running his hand over his "brutally short haircut." However, when Bill and Charlie first appear in Goblet of Fire, it was Bill that who was scolded by Molly for having long hair. The first description of his appearance (when it is observed that he looks "cool"), specifically mentions his long hair. Charlie's hair isn't mentioned at all.

Man of Steel (2013)
Corrected entry: Before Clark gets the superman suit he has some beard on his cheeks, but when he starts to fly the beard is gone.
21st Nov 2014
Men in Black 3 (2012)
Corrected entry: It doesn't make sense that Boris is so adamant that he missed Jay when he was shooting him on the platform. Literally every single time Boris shot at someone while either he or his target was moving, he missed. The only time he ever hit a target was when both he and his target were completely stationary.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: When V reveals that the notes that Evey had been reading while imprisoned were from a real person and that he had saved the notes all of these years, there is a large problem. How did V manage to save the notes from the fire? V is not wearing any clothes and you can plainly see that he is not holding anything in his hands since they are not clenched at all when he first walks through the flames.
Correction: This is worded as a question, not as a mistake, so here's the answer: Evey saved the note (there was only one note, Evey just reread it numerous times and the film revealed its story intermittently) in her toilet. V obviously did the same, where the water in the bowl would have protected it from the flames until V could retrieve it.

Inception (2010)
Corrected entry: When the van rides off the bridge in level 1 this creates the first shock, which would normally bring the characters back from the second level, but this doesn't happen because they are still in the third level of the dream. Cobb states: "We missed the shock, but there's a second shock when the van will hit the water." But what about Arthur (the character left behind in the second level to get them back from the third), since he was in the second level when the first shock occurred, shouldn't he have woken up in the first level? If this is true it would mean that he couldn't create the shock with the elevators, meaning the other characters would be stuck in the third (or fourth) level.
Correction: He couldn't wake up because the hotel was his dream, and all the others' were still in it, stuck a level down in the snow fortress dream. He was incapable of leaving the dream, by waking up out of it or by sleeping within in, because it was still being occupied by other people's consciousnesses. In the van, he was basically in a coma until everyone else woke up from within his dream.
