Corrected entry: At Katie's wake Rachel asks Katie's father if he's alright. When the camera angle changes the wine glass in front of him changes from oval to bulbous. (00:13:35)

Corrected entry: At the wake Rachel talks to some teenage friends of Katie's to find more about her death. The way they interrupt each other sounds very artificial, as one person stops talking in mid-sentence the split-second another person starts, without any overlap, e.g. when the boy butts in first. (00:15:45)
Correction: Bad acting isn't a movie mistake.

The Ring (2002)
Corrected entry: When Rachel and Aidan drive home from school they keep looking at each other through the rear mirror. It's not possible from his position, crouched into the far right of the back seat, to see her face, as she neither adjusts the mirror nor her position, and, if at all, he would only see her eyes not her whole face (as beautiful as it admittedly is). (00:10:00)
Correction: Rearview mirrors are slightly convex, allowing the driver to see more behind them. With my car it is possible to see the entire backseat from left to right when it is adjusted to view through the rear window. From the back right corner of the seat, it is possible to see the driver's face, but not quite all of it.

The Ring (2002)
Corrected entry: When Katie's mother finds her dead daughter in the closet - shown as a flashback - Katie's head falls forward the moment the mother opens the door. This seems to have no other reason than to jack up the number of goosebumps on the spectators' arms and necks. (00:14:45)
Correction: This isn't a mistake. Anyways, some houses transfer vibrations from motion very easily. In my house, if you walk through the living room, you can feel vibrations throughout the whole house. And with the mother swinging open the closet like that, it wouldn't be a big suprise if the vibrations made the body move a little.

The Ring (2002)
Corrected entry: When Rachel leafs through Katie's notebook the last entry is a drawing of the Ring. Katie drew it with such force that the pen made a hole in the paper, but when Rachel turns the page the next sheet is in pristine condition. (00:50:50)
Correction: If you watch carefully (especially in slow motion), you can see that Rachel turns about 5 pages instead of one. Of course, we were not meant to see this as it was meant to be the last thing Katie drew, and to have pen marks on the other page would spoil the effect. But indeed, Katie used such force that you can still see a dent on the open page anyway.

The Ring (2002)
Corrected entry: In the archive of her newspaper Rachel has to stretch herself to get an old book from the top shelf. It falls out of her hands and disintegrates, looking more like a folder (in this shot also the way she is holding it changes), but when she sits down and studies the book is intact again. (00:42:00)
