Corrected entry: When Cal is chasing Jack and Rose by the clock, you can see he is holding Lovejoy's gun in his left hand. However, after he slipped over, you can see him picking himself up, the gun now on his right hand side. Wouldn't the gun have landed on his left?

Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Why oh why is one of the people getting on the life boats wearing a digital watch? Surely they weren't around in 1912?
Correction: When? Where? Man or woman? Hopping on or already sitting in a boat? We couldn't spot anybody wearing a watch, let alone a digital one.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When the water crashes through the dome, although this is a very impressive effect, look at the hole the water comes through. You can see the peak of the set and a bit of the huge bucket used to tip the water.
Correction: We tried very hard to see the bucket but failed.
16th Sep 2002
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When the grand staircase area is sinking, a close-up reveals the clock being covered with water. Seconds later a long shot shows John Jacob Astor hanging on to a pillar and the clock is visible (behind him) with a foot of water still to go before water comes crashing through the dome.
Correction: It's actually the other way round: The close-up with the submerged clock comes after the shot of J.J.Astor. Therefore, the water is rising as it should be.
20th Nov 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: After Tommy is shot and Fabrizio puts on his life jacket and ends up in the water, water from a porthole is sucking people into the ship, Fabrizio is sucked near the porthole. He stops himself by placing one hand on the side of the window, and one on the top of the window. Suddenly it's a stuntman, with heavy black gloves and long sleeves. Fabrizio saves himself, and it's his arm and hand once more.
Correction: It's the bare-handed Fabrizio in all three shots. I wonder how someone saw gloves here.
Correction: The shadow on his hands makes it appear that he is wearing black gloves.
26th Aug 2003
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: J. Bruce Ismay steps onto one of the first lifeboats but on the actual Titanic, he got into the 2nd to last lifeboat.
Correction: When Bruce Ismay steps onto a lifeboat when all the boats on one side are already in the water. It's hard to tell, but it looks as if this boat was one of the last ones that were lowered properly.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: During the scene where Jack is handcuffed to the pipe, the water level rises above his porthole. Yet about half a minute later, the porthole is open whilst still underwater. Why does Jack not get completely pounded with sea-water?
Correction: The porthole is never open.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Rose holds the axe further up before she swings but during the swing her hands are lower.
Correction: We see her changing her grip when Jack tells her to hold the axe lower.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Young Rose has green eyes, but Old Rose has blue eyes. Later in the film, there is a fade between the faces of young & old Rose and this time old Rose's have magically changed to match Kate Winslet's eyes.
Correction: Both young and old Rose's eyes have a greenish tinge (very distinct also at the beginning when old Rose sees her drawing on TV), but old Rose's eyes have become pale the way it happens when people get old.
10th Sep 2003
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Haven't you noticed that not even once the second class passengers are mentioned? Even when the woman in the third class says, "When they're finished putting the first class people in the boats, then they'll start with us." Second class'd go before third.
Correction: When Jack is getting handcuffed to the pipe someone says to the master of arms: "Sir, I need you in the second-class purser's office. There's a mob up there."
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When Jack and Rose get into the elevator to get away from Cal's guy, there are a couple of people in it. When Rose gives him the finger, there's no one behind them anymore. When they get off again, there's no one in it either.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: There is a dancing scene in a ballroom with a lot of mirrors, and when you look closely, you can see the filmcrew in one of the mirrors.
Correction: This must refer to the party at steerage. We couldn't spot neither any mirrors nor any crew members, reflected or unreflected. A time code or a clue would help.
25th Jan 2002
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When the old Rose is shown at her house, she has three fish in the fish bowl. When she arrives at the place where they are exploring the Titanic, She unloads her fish bowl, which now has five fish.
Correction: There are four fish at home (one grazing the pebbles, thus a little harder to spot) and definitely four when Rose arrives on the Keldish, although I wouldn't put my hand into the fire that they're the same four, but anyway.
29th Aug 2003
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When they spot the iceberg from the crows nest, if you look closely on its left there is a large vertical stick of ice silhouetted in the darkness. It's very easy to spot, although when the ship gets closer the vertical stick disappears. Surely that's not possible.
Correction: Looked closely and couldn't spot any vertical stick that disappeared later, not even a small one.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Right after Jack and Rose kiss on the front of the boat, the camera slowly backs up to behind the boat so you can see the entire thing. It is a continuous motion for the camera, and Jack and Rose are still at the front of the boat for most of the shot, but if you keep your eye on them, they disappear by the time the camera gets to the back of the boat...
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When Jack hands Rose the note at the dinner table the paper is yellow. Later when the note is read the paper is white.
22nd Dec 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Jack is dressed for dinner and waiting at the bottom of the grand staircase, Rose is shown taking Jack's arm twice as they are going to the dining room, once close up and once again in the background when Cal is talking.
30th Sep 2003
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Look in the scene in the first class dining saloon when Jack is having dinner with Kate and her relatives/friends. The scene continually changes shots from person to person. You can see the camera in one of the shots.
Correction: Checked the scene twice in slow motion and couldn't find any camera. Time code or any other clue please.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: In the scene Leonardo DiCaprio is first invited to the dinner, you can see, as he is leaving, an earplug on the back of his right ear.
Correction: Throughout the scene Jack's right ear is not in the picture. Even if the submitter confused left and right, behind the left ear there's only hair in varying arrangements.
27th Aug 2001
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: When Jack and Rose are dancing at the party in steerage, whilst spinning each other around, the camera shows each of them from each other's perspective. However, they are both shown as going in different directions - one clockwise and one anti-clockwise.

Correction: When Cal slips the gun falls visibly to the right. That's why he picks it up with his right hand and later switches it to his left.
