Corrected entry: The last scene shows the bad guys in their plane ready to take off - driving down the runway. Then Bruce gets from the helicopter to the plane's wing, fights with each bad guy, falls off, and the plane begins to take off - again. At no time did the plane turn to circle to another runway. It seems this runway was about 2 to 3 times as long as it should have been.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: During the hearse chase (before the hubcaps fall off), the hubcaps of the hearse change from spokes to flat. (00:57:42 - 00:58:37)
Correction: Untrue. The wheel covers are the same type. They start out with a heavy hex-shaped center cap with a round, red emblem in the center (this cap is normally held on with a single screw on the backside, and they are notoriously known to loosen and fall off). As the chase progresses, at least one of these caps (front/left) is lost. At that point, the spokes blur to appear as if the wheel is a solid dish, but it's an illusion caused by rotation speed and the shutter speed of the camera, just as those instances where a forward-moving vehicle's wheels appear to be rotating backwards.

Freaky Friday (2003)
Corrected entry: When Jake and Anna are at his motorcycle after she has completed her test. He tells her that it was mean of her to change the other girl's test answers. When the camera is behind (and to the side of) Anna, her jaw is not moving, yet there is obviously a dubbed line added as you hear her voice.
Correction: Actually, her lips do move, just not too much.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)
Corrected entry: When Jenna Elfman finds Bugs Bunny in the Shower, it is a clear reference to "Psycho". Even being in black and white and using syrup for blood.
Correction: If it's "clear", then it's not trivia.

My Fair Lady (1964)
Corrected entry: Audrey Hepburn's singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon. Hepburn was extremely disappointed in this, she had prepared for a long time, and didn't realize they were going to dub her.
Correction: Audrey Hepburn's voice was not dubbed 100% by Marni Nixon. Apparently, Hepburn sang the recitatives (that is, the 'half-spoken'stuff), most of 'Just you wait, 'enri Higgins, just you wait', and the beginnings of most - if not all - the songs. A close listen to the movie on screen and the movie soundtrack itself, should reveal most of the above.

Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Corrected entry: Moore depicts Charlton Heston's speech "Cold dead hands" as being held 10 days after Columbine at the NRA's annual meeting in Colorado. When in fact the speech was given one year later in Charlotte NC.
Correction: Michael Moore doesn't depict that specific speech as being held 10 days after Columbine. He said he held a rally 10 days after Columbine shooting, and used video footage to show scenes of his rallies, this footage using one of his most infamous quotes. Also, he doesn't specifically say that it is the speech given at Colorado. His suit and tie in the Charlotte speech is even different than that of Colorado.

Troy (2004)
Corrected entry: In the beginning love scene with Helen and Paris, you see Paris without his shirt and there are no tattoos on his body. At the end, when Paris is firing the arrow at Achilles, you see a bit of his midriff and Orlando's sun tattoo is visible.
Correction: I checked this scene several times. I never saw a tattoo on Paris' body. If it does happen, be more specific as to where on his body it is. Also, Paris fires more than one arrow, so say whether it is the first, second, third, fourth or fifth time when it happens.

The Tuxedo (2002)
Corrected entry: When Devlin's car explodes in the beginning. We see a shot from the front, and it shows the hood exploding. Then we see a shot from the top, the hood is intact, and explodes again.
Correction: This is the same footage replayed numerous for dramatic effect. A common trait in action films.
21st Oct 2003
Days of Our Lives (1965)
Corrected entry: In one day, Jack dies, donates his organs, his body goes to the funeral home, and by the evening the funeral director has brought his body to the house for the wake. That's fast.
Correction: Though it may seem fast, it is perfectly possible for Jack Deveraux's organs to be harvested and the funeral parlor to embalm his body in time for the wake.
27th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Corrected entry: Xena puts 'the pinch' on Brutus. She has to take it off in 30 seconds or he dies. It lasts 58 seconds. (00:13:45 - 00:14:45)
Correction: The many times we have seen Xena apply the pinch, we always hear her say "I've just cut off the blood to your brain - you have 60 seconds". So 58 seconds is quite safe.
24th Jun 2004
Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Corrected entry: Moore spliced together two campaign ads. One actual Bush/Quayle ad, another by an independent expenditure campaign. The Bush/Quayle ad never mentioned Willie Horton, but the other non-Bush/Quayle ad did. Although Moore's film shows these as one ad, and "Paid for Bush/Quayle" shows at the bottom of the ad, when most of the footage was not.
Correction: While the independent campaign ad does not have the "paid for" note on it, records from the company show that they were hired by the Bush campaign to make the ad in question.
3rd Jul 2004
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)
Corrected entry: Marilyn would not be entitled to a settlement of Massey's estate after just one night of marriage, the marriage could have easily been annulled.
Correction: California requires grounds for annulment, so they would have to prove her intent was fraud, which is not so easy.
28th Jan 2004
Wayne's World 2 (1993)
Corrected entry: When Wayne is going to the church to get Cassandra, after meeting Charlton Heston, he is driving through high hills and desert landscape. Northern Illinois, where Aurora is, is extremely flat.
Correction: That's the joke. It's supposed to make it look like a long journey.
27th May 2004
Red Dragon (2002)
Corrected entry: When Ralph Fiennes has Emily Watson in his house, and he is going to shoot her and then himself, he decides he can't kill her. You assume he's shooting himself, and we hear a shot, and see blood splatter all over Emily. He instead shot the man he'd already killed earlier in the day. A dead body doesn't leave a blood splatter - if the heart isn't pumping blood, it can't splatter.
Correction: There's still blood in the arteries of the body, it'll still leave splatter from the force of the gunshot. Furthermore, the body has been dead less than an hour, so there hasnt been any time for the blood to congeal either.
