Corrected entry: In the prison scene Walter retaliates against an aggressive inmate with a fry basket, all of which have holes in the bottom, but the oil comes splashing out as if it were a bucket container.

Corrected entry: When Rorschach and Night Owl confront Adrian and engage him in hand-to-hand combat, normal physics seem to go out the window. Night Owl executes a rapid series of upper and lower roundhouse moves that Adrian easily dodges. Night Owl then tries a flying kick, which Adrian counters with a front kick that lands on Night Owl's right knee or shin. For some reason, this blow to the lower leg sends Night Owl's full body mass hurtling away like he bounced off a brick wall.

Corrected entry: Dr. Manhattan perceives time simultaneously across past and future yet is subject to Veidt's use of tachyon interference. Yet Dr. Manhattan would still be able to perceive the point at which he is told about the tachyon interference and the reasons for Veidt's plan. So really he would know all along anyway.
Correction: The tachyon interference prevented him from perceiving aspects of time, whether past, present, or future, throughout its entire duration. The tachyon interference continued through the point when Dr. Manhattan learned of it, so he was unaware of it until that moment as was intended by Ozymandias.

Corrected entry: When the bomb goes off in New York, the prison psychiatrist is knocking with his fingers at his stopped wirstwatch. He'd need his right hand for this. However, a few shots later we see that he is holding his briefcase in his right hand, so he could not have manipulated his watch with those fingers.

Correction: There is food in the bottom of the basket which prevents the oil from draining as quickly as it normally would. It would still have drained out if Walter had simply held it still, but inertia carried the oil along with the basket because he swung it so fast.
