Other mistake: Winkelmann has the habit of confusing floors, thus trying to open his neighbor's door. When he returns home after the club session he, therefore, checks the name on the mailbox before he opens his door, but this name is much to short to be his (it's safe to assume it's not his nickname Pussi).

Odipussi (1988)

Lost in Translation (2003)
Other mistake: When Bob wakes up after the night with the singer she is already in the bathroom. However, the pillows on her side are obviously untouched. (01:19:20)
3rd Jul 2004
This Boy's Life (1993)
Other mistake: In the turkey shoot the participants have five shots, but Dwight shoots only four times. (00:28:20)
15th Jun 2004
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie Salvatore's mother complains bitterly that she hasn't heard from him in 30 years, but she has a recent passport picture of him sticking in the frame of class photo. (01:39:45)
15th Jun 2004
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Other mistake: When Alfredo projects the movie through the window on the facade on the far side of the piazza, the picture could not be as well-focused as we see it. Besides, there would not be a picture on the theater screen (at best a very faint one), resulting in a mayhem in the audience. (00:46:50)
15th Jun 2004
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Other mistake: There's a chime hanging outside Salvatore's bedroom window that's too far away to cast such a small shadow over his face when he lies in bed and thinks of his childhood. (00:05:40)
14th Jun 2004
Beloved (1998)
Other mistake: When Howard and Buglar return home after years, it's winter and everything is covered with snow, but neither their nor Sethe's breath is cloudy. (01:54:35)
9th Jun 2004
The Human Stain (2003)
Other mistake: At the end, when Nathan Zukerman talks to Faunia's ex on the frozen lake, there are no breathing clouds, while the sound of Nathan's boots in the snow suggests that it is bitterly cold. (01:33:30)
9th Jun 2004
The Human Stain (2003)
Other mistake: There have been many strange castings in movie history, but letting a character of African American descent, who is supposed to be light-skinned enough to pass as white, be played by blue-eyed Sir Anthony Hopkins, whose African roots, according to widely accepted ethnological theories, date some 40,000 years back, takes the cake. His young ego, played by Wentworth Miller, looks a lot more believable, but, luckily for him, the odds are close to zero that he will resemble Anthony Hopkins even faintly in 50 years from now.
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Other mistake: On the first day at Stuart's apartment Leopold wears some green 19th century trousers he wasn't wearing during his time travel, and which surely weren't part of Stuart's wardrobe. (00:30:05)
3rd Jun 2004
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Other mistake: In the scene where Bess' body is thrown into the sea there's a shot of Jan's head injury. The area around the well healed scars is freshly shaven and shiny. Such a long time after the last surgery there would be at least some stubble. (01:25:15)
18th May 2004
My House In Umbria (2003)
Other mistake: When Tom is lying on the road closely inspecting the local ant population, the doctor's cinquecento has to brake and almost skids off the dirt road. However, there was no need for such an emergency stop since the doctor was driving quite slowly and Tom was still about 50 meters away from where the car stopped. (00:45:35)
12th May 2004
A Perfect World (1993)
Other mistake: When Butch steals the clothes and the Ford, Phillip pees for almost two minutes, which is OK for an elderly man with a malfunctioning prostate but not for a healthy 8-year old boy, not even after an overdose of RC Cola. (00:39:20)
10th May 2004
25th Hour (2002)
Other mistake: The names of the two leading female characters are misspelt in the credits: Naturelle Riviera (instead of Rivera) and Mary D'Annuzio (instead of D'Annunzio). (02:03:50)
26th Apr 2004
The Piano (1993)
Other mistake: When Ada and Baines make love and Stewart peeps through a crack in the wall he puts his ear to the wood, not his eye. (01:13:55)
24th Apr 2004
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)
Other mistake: When Sands shoots the waitress she dies without receiving a visible injury. (00:37:00)
18th Apr 2004
Dirty Harry (1971)
Other mistake: According to the big photograph in their respective offices Bressler and the DA share the same pair of little daughters. (00:17:05 - 01:10:10)
17th Apr 2004
Avenging Angelo (2002)
Other mistake: When Marcello and Jennifer come to Angelo's home town they walk through some ruins. She sees the statue of an angel which was sculpted after her mother, and she knows they are in the opera house her father had rebuilt. However, if you look at the columns and arches of the building it's obvious that these are the ruins of a church. (01:24:10)
6th Apr 2004
The Lion in Winter (1968)
Other mistake: The German subtitles translate Brittany as Britannien (Britain), not as Bretagne. (01:04:00)
24th Mar 2004
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Other mistake: Before Quatermain shoots the fourth attacker long distance he puts on his glasses, cursing his getting old. However, when he aims he looks over the rim. (00:11:05)
