Corrected entry: In the fight in the kitchen Frank pins Tony down with a chair and sits on it. It's obvious that the bar between the legs of the chair is a few centimeters above Tony's throat, therefore, his choking sounds are not really justified. (00:40:55)

25th Hour (2002)
Corrected entry: When the police rings Monty's doorbell he and Naturelle are sitting in the bathtub. Naturelle puts on a bathrobe to open the door, and a few seconds later Monty appears all dry and almost completely dressed. (00:27:05)
Correction: This is confusing, but not a mistake. Monty and Naturelle are in the bathtub and the doorbell rings - this is Monty's last day before going away - then there is a flashback to the day the DEA searched the house. Naturelle was in a bathrobe and answered the door. Monty wasn't in the bathtub at the time - he was dry and dressed. The DEA found the cash and drugs in the couch. All of this happens weeks or months before when they are in the tub together.

Michael Collins (1996)
Corrected entry: I wonder if Liam Neeson, age 44 at the time the movie was made and not looking any younger, was the right choice to play a 30-year-old freedom fighter.
Correction: Liam Neeson looks a lot like Michael Collins. It couldnt have been cast any better.

Tears of the Sun (2003)
Corrected entry: It gives a very ethnic touch, however it doesn't make any sense that the refugees sing loudly on their escape to the helicopter pick-up, thus increasing the danger of being discovered by the rebels. (00:17:40)
Correction: The African refugees are singing because they are scared, it's not just "an ethic touch" it's shows what they do when faced with fear. They're singing so that it takes their mind off everything that has happened (or is going to happen).

Evil Under the Sun (1982)
Corrected entry: One crucial piece in Poirot's puzzle is the bathing cap that Christine reminds Linda to wear, so that she can't hear the noon-day gun, but there is no way such a thin rubber cap could be sufficiently sound-proof. (01:30:05)
Correction: Actually it would stop the noise or at least muffle it enough that her splashing would cover the shot. Try it.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene on deck of the Nautilus where Quatermain and Sawyer practice shooting the Nautilus is lying still in the water when the camera is on deck, but visibly speeding along when seen from the point where the target balls land in the water. This happens in alternating shots. (00:42:25)
Correction: When seen from the deck, the camera is high up, and therefore looking at the sea far from the vessel, which, due to the distance, would look like it was moving much slower. Looking at the vessel from the buoys shows its actual speed.

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Corrected entry: Next to Lena's apartment there is a fire protection door in the hallway with a closing mechanism. However, when he leaves her after the rendezvous the door is open (and stays open while he walks off and Lena closes the door to her apartment). But when he returns a minute later to make up for the rather formal good-bye he dramatically storms through the fire protection door which is now closed, although there's nobody around who might have done that. (00:49:50 - 00:51:00)
Correction: After the phone call, Barry rushes around the entire complex looking for Lena's apartment again. He could have possibly run this way previously, opening or closing doors as he went.

Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)
Corrected entry: One night the girls hide in a maid's room. Here they are discovered by the farmer who comes in to have sex with the maid (it looks as if he does this habitually). When he sees them under the blanket he pulls up his pants and leaves the room. Now the maid comes in and really begs them to stay because he would come back if they left, and the intensity with which she does this is not really in line with the fact that this would save her only for this one night. (00:54:00)
Correction: I'm pretty sure that, even for only one night, the maid would prefer not to be raped by her master.

Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)
Corrected entry: At one point Gracie decides to walk off on her own to a nearby station to pick up a train to her mother. Later, when it is already getting dark, Molly decides to turn around and meet up with her, but when they arrive at the station the sun is shining again. (01:04:50)
Correction: When Gracie leaves and Molly & Daisy go by themselves, a couple of days pass before Molly decides to go get Gracie. Then, it could be the next day, or a few days later when they find Gracie at the station.

Money Train (1995)
Corrected entry: When The Torch strikes the first time he douses a ticket saleswoman with gasoline and sets the whole cabin on fire. It remains a mystery how she stays unscathed till Wesley comes for her rescue.
Correction: You can see that in the part of the cabin, where the woman is, there is no gasoline. So it's possible for her to be unharmed until Wesley comes to her rescue. It doesn't take him that long to get over two tracks. He has to wait for about half a min for the two trains to pass. The whole rescue didn't take more than 4 min.
14th Jan 2004
Me, Myself & Irene (2000)
Corrected entry: After crashing Dick's car into the barber shop Charlie tells him that he got a headlight out. Since he had just gotten out of the car and was still standing at the door he couldn't have seen the damage. (00:21:10)
Correction: He just crashed the car through the window, so there has to be damage (probably worse than a bulb out). Charlie is making a joke.
9th Jul 2003
Mr Bones (2001)
Corrected entry: On his way to Sun City Mr. Bones catches a fish (a Japanese gold fish, it seems) in a lake. In close some fish are seen swimming in a shallow, artificial pond. (00:18:00)
Correction: The pond should actually be artificial since it is located on the golf course and at Sun City certain water hazards do contain Japanese Koi fish.

The Bodyguard (1992)
Corrected entry: There's a certain inconsistency about Rachel's popularity. Earlier in the movie some admirers recognize her in the street in spite of her sunglasses and ask for autographs and to be photographed with her. A little later just the announcement that she would show up in the Mayan makes people go crazy inside and outside the club. But in the date scene nobody in the bar even glances at her, the totally undisguised Academy Award nominee. (00:22:55 - 00:46:50)
Correction: No not really. Remember Whitney Houston's character travels in different circles than Frank. The bar they go to is very working-class with the beer and hotdogs being served and all. I am watching the movie now and she even says to Frank "your type of place your type of music" It is entirerly possible that she may not be recognized.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Corrected entry: When the people are marching out of the fort and Nathaniel appears, Uncas and Chingachgook who should have been walking with the whole group come up the way, wait, and join Nathaniel. Watch them timing the right moment to merge in. (01:06:20)
Correction: Nathaniel was walking with prisoners. the guards may have objected to Uncas and Chingachgook at first. They may have even needed permission from Munroe to walk with the prisoners.
21st Dec 2003
Life is Beautiful (1997)
Corrected entry: When Giosuè is hiding in the box he sees Guido being taken away by a guard and doing a funny march. Even though this happens at night, from the perspective from inside the box it looks like broad daylight. (01:52:15)
Correction: That "broad daylight" effect was actually the fire burning behind Guido and the soldier, because in other scenes it shows fire burnign evidence of a concentration camp.
24th Apr 2004
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)
Corrected entry: Before Bellini's body is thrown into the water one can see it breathing. (00:37:40)
Correction: It is a prop, not a person. They show it in the making of.
4th Jul 2004
Stepmom (1998)
Corrected entry: Jackie asks Isabel at short notice to pick Ben up from a friend's birthday party because she has an appointment at Random House. When Isabel delivers him home she is not a bit surprised that Jackie is comfortably sitting in her garden doing her mail. (01:03:45)
Correction: Isabel registers surprise when she finds out from Random House that Jackie was lieing about having an appointment there (on the phone in the car). So she already knows that Jackie was busy doing something else. There is no Plot Hole in her reaction to seeing Jackie in her garden, (specially if she caught a whiff of Jackie's pot).
18th Sep 2003
Maverick (1994)
Corrected entry: Maverick makes quite a fuss over his shrunk shirt sleeves after Annabelle had washed it too hot. However, from the moment he sits in the carriage the length of his sleeves is back to normal although he didn't change his shirt. (00:37:15)
Correction: WELL...when Cooper tells Maverick to go stop the horses, Maverick complains and tells Coop, "You do it, I just put on a fresh shirt." So he really *did* change his shirt, it's not a mistake.
30th May 2004
In America (2002)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie we see Christy watching an old video of her brother Frankie. There's one reversed shot with the camcorder monitor on the right side. (01:33:55)
Correction: The monitor on that camera actually flips forward and if you look properly, the lens is facing her. The scene is correct.
28th Sep 2003
Little Women (1994)
Corrected entry: As usual, the producers of 'Little Women' cut corners by having Germans played by English native speakers. The Hummels speak good, but not perfect German, and Friedrich Bhaer, who speaks only English in the movie, pronounces the (admittedly difficult) Goethe in a rather revealing way. (00:48:00 - 01:13:00)
Correction: The Hummels are actually played by real Germans, and in fact they speak with a south German accent.

Correction: The choking sound is only the first time when he initially places the chair to pin Tony down. Also Tony Scibelli is tired after Kevin Costner took him down, the sounds are not all choking sounds.
