Corrected entry: Part way through the "100 Agent Smiths" scene, Neo is just about to kick one of the Smiths. However, if you look closely, the Smith rises up vertically into the air long before Neo even lifts his head. Its only when Neo kicks him that he flies backwards out of shot. Bad wire work.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
21st Nov 2002
28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, the lead actor walks across Westminster Bridge after leaving the deserted hospital. Despite the fact that the whole of London has been evacuated, there is a camera shot from behind the actor showing him walking across Westminster bridge, and slightly out of focus to the north east, you can see traffic going up and down Victoria embankment.
Correction: I can't see anything on the region 1 DVD. You only see the embankment in brief pan.

28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: When the group is about to drive through the tunnel, Frank has to ram some cars out of the way. Later, when they stop to set up camp, you see the front of the car with no damage at all.
Correction: He doesn't ram anything, he drives up and over the pile of debris.

28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: At the start of the movie, Jim walks through an empty London. We see Big Ben behind Jim, and Jim's shadow is behind him. The next shot shows Jim has no shadow, and is in complete shade. (00:09:11)
Correction: The sun is always shining. In the closeups you can see Jim's shadow and in the wide shots the Houses of Parliament are always bright in the morning sun.
21st Nov 2002
28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: At the start of the movie, Jim walks through a deserted London. We see Big Ben from one angle showing about 7:45, then in the next shot it's about 7:40.
Correction: There's only one shot where the face of the clock is visible, and then it reads 12 minutes past 8.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Corrected entry: She is in a coma for 4 years and those kind nurses plucked her eyebrows and streaked her hair for her, as well as taking good care of her nails.
Correction: Firstly, I'm sure that when people are in comas the nurses do take care of them instead of just leaving them and waiting for them to wake up. Secondly, Buck has a special reason for wanting the Bride to look nice so he probably does take a bit of extra care.
26th Aug 2003
28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: To continue on the same note: the contaminated young little boy in the hamburger cafe screams 'I hate you' 'I hate you' as he attacks the main character. None of the other contaminants in the whole film (as far as I'm aware) speaks. They all growl like a mad dog. (00:51:55)
Correction: On the commentary track, the director says that the soundtrack contains voices for all the infected - it is indecipherable most of the time but it helps give the impression of rage. The boy's lines happened to be clearer than most.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Corrected entry: The Bride wakes after four years in a coma. She is as weak as a kitten, unarmed and friendless. Given the choice of on whom to first extract her revenge, which does she pick; 1) The leader of organized crime in a country half way across the world who is guarded by 88+ bloodthirsty bodyguards? Or, 2) The woman who has left the business (and gone soft), lives within driving distance and is likely to be alone during the day? Of course she chooses 1.

Casino Royale (1967)
Corrected entry: Early in the film, James Bond (David Niven) is in the grounds of his mansion with some dignitaries. The army, hidden nearby, attack his house with missiles. The first shell destroys the house, it is then seen in perfect condition, and the next shell destroys it again. (00:11:24)
Correction: There are 2 buildings on James' grounds. The main house (yellow with steps leading to it) and the building with the piano room in it (orange with no steps). The piano building is blown up first and the main house can be seen behind Bond, intact. Then the main house is blown up.

School of Rock (2003)
Corrected entry: When Jack Black is having lunch with the other teachers, he puts his fork in his mouth twice, with no food on it either time.
Correction: He is nervously fiddling with the fork because the real teachers are asking him questions that he cannot answer.
5th Sep 2003
Small Soldiers (1998)
Corrected entry: The missiles that one of the soldiers shoot can break a tree, but later in the film it can't break the electric dick where Allan is.
Correction: They're different missiles. Chip's jeep has one sort which can knock down a tree (a bit excessive, granted), but the helicopter only has bottle rockets. Earlier they fired one into the house and it only broke a bowl.
22nd Nov 2002
Swingers (1996)
Corrected entry: When Mike and Trent are given the $100 chips, the dealer places them on the table just in front of the chip holder. In the next shot, they appear right in front of Mike, without the dealer giving him the chips.
27th Aug 2001
Swingers (1996)
Corrected entry: When Trent and Mikey are driving to Vegas, the trafic tickets on the Falcon keep disappearing and reappearing.
Correction: As far as I can see, the tickets only disappear once they get to Vegas; and this would be because they want to make a good impression at the casino so that they get given 'free stuff'.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Corrected entry: When Seth takes the stake to his brother, he hammers it in with a loaded pistol. This isn't a very good idea as he could have easily set it off and shot himself.
Correction: This isn't a factual error - guns don't always go off when you use them as a hammer. And in real life, people do stupid things all the time. So the film is showing someone doing something stupid but getting away with it.

Killing Me Softly (2002)
Corrected entry: Heather Graham is playing a web page and CD-ROM author, but in the scene where she's smiling at the flowers in her office (after spending the night with Joseph Fiennes at his place) it's perfecly clear that she can't type.
Correction: It's not that bad - she's using more than 2 fingers. Since it is a design company, she may be there because of her creative skills not her technical ones.
13th Sep 2003
Matchstick Men (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Roy is driving Angela home after meeting her the first time, the camera changes back and forth from a shot of the driver and a shot of the passenger. In the shots of the driver, his side view mirror shows a moving reflection of road, cars and scenery. In the shots of the passenger, the side view mirrow shows the same blurry picture which does not move at all.
Correction: It's just the side of the car - because of where the camera is that is all you can see reflected in that mirror.
18th Sep 2003
The War of the Worlds (1953)
Corrected entry: Martians die at the end of the film because of the bacteria in our atmosphere. Martians are living organisms (they had anemic blood in the movie), so why weren't humans affected adversely by the Martian bacteria?
Correction: Perhaps the human immune system is better at killing them than the Martian immune system (if there is such a thing) is at dealing with Earth bacteria.
Correction: The Martians hadn't been on Earth long enough to spread any alien germs. The invasion unfolded rather quickly. The aliens were mostly confined to their space ships, and had limited direct contact with humans. If they had survived longer, they might have spread fatal organisms to humans, though the humans probably would have been eradicated by then.
3rd Nov 2002
Casablanca (1942)
Corrected entry: When Strasser receives the message to go to the airport, he travels there alone. Why not simply take a truckload of German soldiers with him?
Correction: He practically does ... right after ordering his car he says "have a squad of police meet me at the airport at once".
27th Aug 2001
Office Space (1999)
Corrected entry: When asked what he would do with 1 million dollars, Peter is holding a bottle, and the next shot, it's gone and his hand is flat on the armrest.
Correction: He's put the beer down on the table beside him.
28th Apr 2003
Confidence (2003)
Corrected entry: When we first meet Andy Garcia, he makes a big deal about always wearing the same tie which Ed Burns sent him. In the next scene, the tie has changed colours.
Correction: The lighting makes the tie look darker in the cafe, and it is shiny which doesn't help, but Gunther does wear the same tie throughout.
