Corrected entry: When Arthur first arrives on the Heart of Gold, Trillian shows himr where he can get some tea. However, she shows him a machine that gives something from a tube that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea while there is a much better machine standing right next to it that would give you anything you crave just by reading your mind (a bagel, for instance). If Trillian had just shown him that machine, Arthur would have been drinking some good tea. The other machine is therefore totally useless.

Corrected entry: Whenever the Vogons speak, their lips move in sync with the English that we hear on the soundtrack. They shouldn't do, because the Vogons are supposed to be speaking Vogon, not English - we just hear English through Arthur's babelfish.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Zaphod, Ford, and Arthur are trying to run away from the spatula like creatures on Vogsphere, they constantly get smacked in the face for saying "I think." However, a few scenes later, when the lunchbell on Vogsphere rings, a Vogon says "I think I'll have soup today." He should have gotten smacked for saying "I think," but nothing happens.
