Corrected entry: When the drawbridge is raised at the beginning of the movie, the comet should have changed the traffic light to red and lowered the gates.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Corrected entry: In the chase through Cairo streets - Indy rounds the corner of the plaza in which the truck (supposedly holding Marion in a basket is kept) - as Indy comes around the corner, a baddie shoots at him with a machine gun - watch this closely, the gun moves in the opposite direction as the bullets on the ground. (00:41:20)
Correction: Actually, the charges set off to simulate the rounds hitting the ground started at Indy's left, proceeding to the left side of the shot and get six shots ahead of the goon, who is just raising the gun and gets the first shot off in the direction of Indy's feet.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
Corrected entry: In this episode, Gilligan steals Beesley's flare gun and the castaways convince him to shoot it so they can be rescued, but it fails because the flares were taken out by Beesley. This episode indicates the castaways didn't have a flare gun of their own, yet in another episode (with the Mr. Howell impostor), the Professor gave Mr. Howell a working flare gun to use if he needed it. Why was This flare gun never used to be rescued?
Correction: In Season 1: Episode 3 "Voodoo Something to Me", the Skipper got everyone up each night to fire off a flare. Towards the end, Gilligan got the flare gun away from the chimp that had stolen it, and accidentally fired it into the supply hut where the rest of the flares were. This in turn set off all the flares. If one or two were spared, they'd be saved for a time there would be a sure chance of being seen.

A Christmas Story (1983)
Corrected entry: While the family is driving home after picking out their tree and before the tire blowout, the kids and the wife are singing "Jingle Bells". On the driver's side of the car, a shadow of a microphone is seen bouncing up and down to the song, conducting the cast as they sing the song.
Correction: After looking closely at the scene, the shadow on the Old Man's side of the car is Ralph's stocking cap. This can be told because it is the shape of Ralph's cap, moves in time to his movements and comes from behind, rather than in front of, the Old Man.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins... (1985)
Corrected entry: When Remo crosses over the wet cement at the Statue of Liberty, he leaves footprints behind, but when the bad guy goes to cross it he falls in and you don't see any footprints.
Correction: As the guy in the dark starts to sink in the wet cement, if you look just to the left side of the shot, the footprints Williams made crossing are still there.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins... (1985)
Corrected entry: Right after Remo burns his hands on the pot of rice, you see him putting the rice into bowls for him and Chiun and there is no steam rising from either the pot or bowls.
Correction: There actually are wisps of steam coming from the bowls. They are very close to the apron, and so could be mistaken for coming from elsewhere.

UHF (1989)
Corrected entry: When Terri visits R.J. in his office to tell him about U62, the door to R.J's office says "General Manager." However, when Stanley goes in there a few minutes later in the film, the door says "R.J. Fletcher." Both are definitely going into the same office. (01:10:40 - 01:13:45)
Correction: Toward the end, when Stanley is going into Fletcher's office to get away from the thugs, he shuts the door, and you can see the left door says "General Manager" and the right door says "R. J. Fletcher."

Predator 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: After the Predator snatches the skull and spine from Bill Paxton and starts to street level while being chased by Danny Glover, you can see that the Predator is not carrying nor has the skull attached to it in any kind of way while jumping from rooftop to rooftop. (01:02:50)

Correction: If the comet changed the lights to red and lowered the bars, there would have been no damage or threat. The movie's plot is that the effect of the comet causes machinery and equipment to act independently, out of human control, and that allows them to kill and maim without warning.
