Corrected entry: In the arcade scene, a person with a red cap and blue shirt walks behind the guitar arcade player. When the camera switches to an opposite angle of the guitarist, the red capped fellow is in the middle of a shooting game. (00:35:50)

Correction: These are different guys. The caps are different, and the first guy wears glasses.

Corrected entry: During Charlotte and Bob's first conversation in the bar Bob has a napkin and glass of whiskey on a coaster in front of him. As the conversation ends, there is a wider shot of the couple and Bob's napkin and glass jump; the glass is now much further away from him than in the previous shot.

jle

Correction: The two shots are not necessarily in continuous succession. There are several scenes which consist of little clips linked to each other, for example when Charlotte sits in the chair before Bob slips the note under the door.

Along Came Polly (2004)

Corrected entry: The movie is based out of New York City. That is where his office is located. In the scene where Leland Van Lew parachutes off the skyscraper, when you look at the skyline in the background of that shot, it is that of Los Angeles. You can recognize LA's tallest, Library Tower in the background.

Correction: Nothing is wrong with the background because Reuben flies from New York to Los Angeles to meet Leland Van Lew.

Corrected entry: The first time Charlotte and Bob converse in the hotel bar, Charlotte sits down next to Bob and orders a drink from the waiter. The waiter brings the drink, which has a straw stuck in it with a bit of the straw wrapper covering the top. Charlotte does not remove the wrapper, but when she picks up the drink the wrapper is gone.

Correction: This is not a straw but a plastic stirrer. What looks like a wrap in one shot is a reflection on the upper end of the the stirrer.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: In the scene when Forrest jumps of the shrimp boat to greet Lt. Dan there is a diver making it look like Forrest is making big splashes with his feet. This can be clearly seen in the last few seconds where Tom Hanks' feet can't possibly bend to make the water splash like it does.

Correction: This is simply Forrest's rather unorthodox way of swimming. All the splashing is made by his feet.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: When Forrest and Bubba meet Lieutenant Dan for the first time, he has a roll of toilet paper in his hand. During the scene, he walks them toward a soldier whom he begins to yell at. As he is yelling at the soldier, his hands appear with no toilet paper, then a roll in the right hand, then no roll again. As he approaches the "bathroom", Lieutenant Dan picks up a roll from the side of the door.

Correction: Lt. Dan is holding the roll with his fingertips all the time. Sometimes you can't see it because it's below the frame while a part of the hand is still visible. And he certainly doesn't pick up any roll in the booth.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: When Forrest's mother tries to get him into school, the principal shows her some kind of national standards chart, pointing with a pencil to the 'below average' zone where Forrest is with an IQ of 75. In the next shot, his pencil is in the 'normal' zone of the chart, not the 'below average' zone.

Correction: Here the principal is explaining to her the requirement for a normal school.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: When Bubba and Forrest are in the helicopter on their way to Vietnam, their is another guy sitting with them (it says 'Duke' on his helmet) to their right. However, when the chopper lands and they get out, the guy exits on the opposite side of the helicopter. Seeing as how he would have had to get through the tiny space between Bubba, Forrest and the front seat of the chopper, shouldn't he have just gone out the side he was sitting on?

Correction: It's a different guy who wasn't shown in the shots inside the helicopter. Shortly before the landing one can see Duke AND this guy sitting at both doors.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: When Forrest is sleeping in the hospital, right before lieutenant Dan pulls him off the bed, you see a ping pong paddle and ball on his bed with a hand on the handle. But it is not his hand. First of all, there's no way he could get the right hand in that position, secondly, when he is pulled off the bed, the hand stays there. Why would someone else be holding a ping pong paddle on his bed?

Correction: It's Forrest's hand, only the wide angle makes it look a little strange, and it also moves when he gets pulled off the bed.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Jenny asks Forrest if he thinks she could fly off the bridge, a car is coming towards them - in the next shot it's gone.

Correction: It's gone because it takes a right turn before it enters the bridge.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Lt. Dan is confronting Forrest outside the Dick Cavet show Lt. Dan Loses control of his wheelchair. As it spins out of control and flies by the camera you can clearly see Gary's Legs.

Correction: We only see his rather long stumps.

Kate & Leopold (2001)

Corrected entry: In the movie the point is made that it is time travel, meaning that you will end up at the same place, just at a different time. So if you jump off a bridge ending up in a different time, you should still fall into the water and not on dry land.

Correction: The time portal is close to the pillar which stands on the ground.

Kate & Leopold (2001)

Corrected entry: At the very beginning credits where they are showing the bridge it is very obviously a backdrop. Look closely and you can see the towers with smoke, and the smoke stays still the whole time. (00:00:55)

Correction: The stacks are smoking quite naturally.

Kate & Leopold (2001)

Corrected entry: In the opening bridge scene the spectators are waiving 49 star flags in 1876. (00:00:50)

Correction: The flags have 37 stars, 2 rows of 8 and 3 rows of 7.

NancyFelix

Corrected entry: After Emily Delahunty is in the hospital recovering from the train wreck, she is seen with a tube up her nose. When the camera turns to Quinty and back to her, the tube is gone.

Correction: When she has the tube in her nose inspector Girotti is in the room. In the next scene, where she has no tube, Girotti is not there when Quinty comes in, and it may well be the next day or even later.

Secondhand Lions (2003)

Corrected entry: The uncles were killed when their bi-wing airplane crashes into the barn. But there are no holes in the barn for the wings - only the fuselage.

Correction: The wings are still outside the barn, and the wall is duly dented where the wings touch it.

25th Hour (2002)

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film, Monty's father comes to pick him up. He is let into the flat by Monty's girlfriend Naturelle. Naturelle is wearing a hooded sweatshirt from her old school - Coventry - which features fairly heavily in the plot. As she turns towards the camera, it is clear that the logo on the sweatshirt is mispelt - COVETNRY.

Correction: It's not misspelt: The folds in the sweatshirt make the letters look a little distorted.

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the toilet blows up, smashes through the window and hits the station wagon, it is clear that the windshield on the car has been broken already and duct taped in place.

Correction: The windshield had been replaced temporarily after Riggs had kicked it out when they were chasing the red BMW.

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Corrected entry: When Riggs and Murtaugh leave the bank, Riggs stops for a hot dog. The next time you see him, he is getting into the car and the hot dog is almost not eaten at all. Before that, it is almost gone.

Correction: In the car, Riggs is holding the hotdog in his other hand and we see the other, unbitten end. Besides, there's no cut that would have allowed any tampering.

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Corrected entry: After Thelma & Louise leave the Nevada cop in the trunk, Thelma gets in the driver's side but when they're going down the dirt road afterwards, Louise is driving.

Correction: We don't know how long they have been driving in between, thus it's well possible that Louise took over.
