Tru Calling (2003)

Past Tense - S1-E4

Corrected entry: Luc arrives for his job interview at the Sheriff's while Tru is at the bachelor party. However, the clerk at the hotel told Tru that the party started at 7pm, so we know it's at least that late. It doesn't make much sense for Luc to have a job interview at that hour.

DavidK93

Correction: And? Is there some law that says a job interview can only be conducted during a certain time? Maybe that's when the sheriff or even Luc was available to do the interview.

Tru Calling (2003)

Morning After - S1-E7

Corrected entry: It seems strange that Tru doesn't at any point entertain the possibility that Luc could be the killer. After all, he was the last person left in her apartment before she went to sleep. And if she even thought that she could have done it herself, why does it not occur to her that her boyfriend killed the ex-boyfriend who was quasi-stalking her?

DavidK93

Correction: Her ex was in bed with her. She had blood on her. The knife was in her bedroom. Of course she is going to think she is the killer. Nobody else.

Tru Calling (2003)

Morning After - S1-E7

Corrected entry: Why does Tru assume that Lindsay would be disappointed by Harrison's gift of a Pez dispenser? When they were shopping together, Lindsay specifically said that she loves Pez dispensers.

DavidK93

Correction: Because it is an unusual unusual to give that kind of thing as a gift to the one you love. Most couples are more romantic than that. Tru didn't know Lindsay would love it. She thought her friend would be disappointed.

Tru Calling (2003)

Morning After - S1-E7

Corrected entry: After Tru talks to her ex-boyfriend on the roof, she returns to her apartment and asks Luc where everybody went. But before the ex-boyfriend even showed up, everybody was leaving the party and Tru was saying goodbye to them as they left. Then she went to the roof and had her five minute chat with the ex. Why should she be even remotely surprised that everybody has made it out of the apartment by the time she gets back?

DavidK93

Correction: Only a few people were leaving. She assumed others would stay. Therefore she was surprised when everyone left.

Tru Calling (2003)

Star Crossed - S1-E6

Corrected entry: The second time the day happens, Amy comes driving up right after the near-accident, because she "saw Derek's car." Since Tru's actions didn't change the timeline throughout the car chase, that means that Amy should have shown up at the same time during the original day as well. In that case, she would have witnessed Derek cause the crash that killed Adam and Jen, and there shouldn't have been a mystery.

DavidK93

Correction: Before she showed up, the car was about to go over the edge before Derek stopped himself. She showed up moments later. We don't have enough information to determine what happened originally. By the time she would have arrived the car would have already gone over the edge so she could have assumed Derek just arrived like she did. Or Derek could have easily driven away as soon as the car went over the edge without being seen.

Tru Calling (2003)

Murder in the Morgue - S1-E9

Corrected entry: Why does Lindsay know about what happened with Candace and Ronnie after graduation, while Tru doesn't? Firstly, Tru would have much more reason to have found out in the first place, since Candace was her best friend and Ronnie was her crush. Secondly, even if we accept that Lindsay found out before Tru did, how is it that Lindsay never mentioned it in five years?

DavidK93

Correction: Lindsay thought Tru knew, but didn't say anything because of how it all ended and Lindsay didn't bring it up to hurt Tru's feelings. This is evident when Lindsay says "what? you didn't know?"

Tru Calling (2003)

Haunted - S1-E5

Corrected entry: Around the middle of the episode, Paige's father tells Tru that all Paige really remembers about her molestation is "the moon and stars," which doesn't make sense to anybody. Towards the end of the episode, Tru looks across the street and sees that Paige's neighbor has a large stained-glass window of the moon and stars, and immediately realizes that the neighbor is the one who molested Paige. Paige is already there, because her near-death experience opened up the memory for her. But why didn't anybody figure this out before? The moon and stars window has been in plain sight to Paige and her father for twenty years, and evidently Paige has been ranting about "the moon and stars" for some time now.

DavidK93

Correction: She also believes her father is the one who molested her. And since her father is convinced it is all in her mind, he is not going to look for clues. Even so, he can just assume she saw the neighbors door and implanted it into her "fantasy."

Tru Calling (2003)

Closure - S1-E8

Corrected entry: Tru's endeavors to convince Harrison of her abilities don't make much sense, for two reasons. Firstly, it's ridiculous that Harrison doesn't already believe her. She once slipped him the exact card he needed minutes later in his card game, and she convinced a man to wear a bulletproof vest on the day that Harrison's girlfriend was planning to frame him for shooting the man dead. Secondly, why would he suddenly become convinced just because Tru told him when it was going to start snowing? She once told him exactly when it was going to rain, and weather forecasters do the same thing all the time anyway.

DavidK93

Correction: First of all, Harrison not believing her only proves he is hard headed. He believed them to be lucky guesses or coincidences. Lets not forget in many episodes he believed the other people were in cahoots with Tru in order to try and convince him (the waitress is a perfect example). Second of all, the thing regarding the snow, it was said it was a "surprise" snow. Which means the weatherman did not report it was going to snow. Even if the weatherman predicted snow, they cannot predict the exact time it is going to start like she did. Tru predicting snow that not even weatherman did not predict, along with predicting the exact time the snow was going to start, was enough to convince Harrison.

Escape Plan (2013)

Corrected entry: Stallone uses the wax layer from a drinks carton to place over the keypad to his cell so he can get the 4 digit code, all well and good but the wax sheet is not numbered, so when it is removed he would have no idea how it was fitted on the keypad, leaving him with multiple combinations. When he does escape he cannot see the keypad from his cell and is just using blind luck to key in the code.

Correction: He made mention that it came to finding the correct sequence. It is never specified how long he worked on it until he found it.

lartaker1975

There's only 10,000 possible permutations. He must have got real lucky.

10,000 is correct for four unknown digits but the wax is supposed to show him which four are used. That's only 24 combinations. That assumes there's no limit on attempts but it's a much more feasible number.

Correction: He tinkers with it for a minute (judging by the timecodes of the camera), and could not do any test the days before or the cameras would have caught him. I believe his "amazing good luck" is solid as a plot hole.

Sammo

Corrected entry: When Clark gets locked in the attic he tries to open the door and calls out "Rusty" Then he calls out "Bev" instead of "Ellen".

Correction: He doesn't call out Bev, he screams "heeeeeeeelp." It then cuts to the outside with the rest of the family so his "help" call gets cut off.

Scream 2 (1997)

Corrected entry: Mickey gives himself away as the killer. At the hospital after Derek is cut on his arm, he tells Sidney, what made him go back into the house anyway? The only people there were Sidney, Derek, and the killer. Sidney even has a strange look on her face after he says that, like, how did you know he went back in the house, but says nothing.

Correction: How is this a plot hole or even a mistake? The producers could have had that in the script on purpose to see if the audience would catch onto it. Movies have been known to do that. As you said. Even Sidney had a strange look on her face when he said it. So it might have been part of the script anyways.

lartaker1975

I am "correcting the correction" a bit because Sidney's strange look on her face is merely because she is buying into what he says and suspects Derek; from that point on she always suspects Derek and never shows to mistrust Mickey. But the entry was inconsistent anyway, because hours pass since the "slicing" scene and by that time it would be completely out of logic if nobody knew the circumstances that led to their friend being hospitalized.

Fright Night (1985)

Corrected entry: Right before Peter starts his car and speeds away from Charley, who is desperately pleading for help with his vampire situation, a reflection of the camera is visible in its rear window for a few seconds. (00:37:05)

ryguy_1983

Correction: I thought so too. But it is the reflection of the power line behind Charlie, not a camera.

lartaker1975

Corrected entry: After the sheriff tells Megan they found Court's body, she asks what time, and she tells him that her and Tommy were together all that time, but Court was killed long before Tommy even called Megan.

brianjr0412

Correction: She does not believe Tommy committed any murders. She tells her dad that Tommy was with her at the time in hopes he will believe her and let Tommy go. As you can see by his reaction, he doesn't believe her.

lartaker1975

Corrected entry: When Nancy is taking a bath and Freddy's claw appears in the tub with her. When they first show her in the tub, she is covered in bubbles and the water is full of bubbles. When the claw reaches up between her legs, there are hardly any bubbles. When she wakes up (only a few seconds later), the bubbles are covering her and the water again.

Correction: As you said. "When she wakes up. " When the claw reaches up between her legs, this is part of the dream as Freddy was not in the real world yet. Therefore things changing in a dream are not a mistake.

Resident Evil (2002)

Corrected entry: In the passage to the Queen's chamber when the laser is coming towards the woman standing, you can see she is looking towards it. A second later she turns her head towards it again. (00:31:20)

Mortug

Correction: She is looking at the door where Alice is. She turns her head towards the laser when One yells for everyone to get down.

lartaker1975

This isn't true. She is looking towards the laser with everyone else. But as the leader yells for everyone to get down, she turns her head towards the team.

Resident Evil (2002)

Corrected entry: Spence and Alice are charged with making sure no one without proper clearance gets into the Hive. Why then does Spence have the clearance to get into the Hive's most secret and secure area, the T-virus storage? Does a bank guard at the door have the combination to the vault? Can the guard in the entrance of a missile silo launch a missile? Of course not. There is no reason for him to have access that deep into the Hive. And while he may have bought the codes to get in, why does no one in the most secure facility in the world give him a second glance? Did he buy off every security guard and Red Queen as well?

Grumpy Scot

Correction: It is never mentioned that they don't have access to the hive. Comparing them to bank guards or silo guards is a moot point. This is a highly classified government facility. There is no law that says they cannot give them access to the inside of the hive.

Volcano (1997)

Corrected entry: When the lava is first approaching Roark's SUV, the right rear tire gets done in by the lava. A minute later, he and his kid are on top of the vehicle, and the right rear tire blows out again.

Movie Nut

Correction: The second time it is the front tire.

lartaker1975

Corrected entry: In the grave yard scene. It doesn't seem possible for a virus contracted through bodily fluids (blood, saliva) to get 6 feet down into sealed coffins, infect a half decomposed corpse filled to the eyeballs with formaldehyde and methanol (typically), and make a zombie that could break out of its casket and dig up six feet with naught but bare hands, a seemingly impossible task for even the fittest, healthiest and craziest human.

tom616

Correction: This is the explanation given on IMDB: This occurrence is explained in the first film where the Red Queen (Michaela Dicker) reveals that the T-virus goes from the transition process of liquid to gas in a matter of hours. The virus was vented out through the ground after Umbrella reopened (The Hive was located under Raccoon City). As for them being able to break out of their casket, lots of zombie movies do that.

lartaker1975

The brain liquefies when we die unless a there's a preservative. The cells are dead as well. I don't understand how a virus infects a dead cell.

Regardless of the transmission method or movie explanation, it's standard zombie lore that when the dead turn into zombies, they have minimal brain function and motor control, despite it being impossible in real life. The virus basically has supernatural powers, which isn't a valid movie mistake.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: In the scene where Eddie Murphy sees himself dead in the mirror, all of a sudden he isn't holding the candle, but when it shows a wider shot he's holding it again.

Correction: He drops the candle then bends down to pick it up. When he stands back up with the candle his reflection is back to normal.

lartaker1975

Correction: While he is looking at the ballerina box, when the ball of light first appears, you only see it reflecting off the box before he stands up and turn around. You never actually see it until his sister comes out.
