Corrected entry: When Lara and Terry are talking about betrayal, Lara has blood on the collar of her jacket and the neck of her T-shirt. During some of the shots where they are attacking the helicopter, the blood is not there.

Correction: In some shots it is partially hidden when the clothing folds, but the blood is always there.

Corrected entry: When Sheridan is bandaging Lara Croft in the cradle of life, you can see him putting the bandages over what looks like a wristwratch. In the next scenes the bandages have moved higher on her arm and you can see the wristwatch. She could have pulled it up, but there are no traces of blood or anything on or around the wristwatch, it is totally clean, while earlier blood was dripping all over her hand.

Correction: The bandages never cover her watch; they are always between it and her elbow.

Corrected entry: When Lara and her partner are going face forward down the rope, they are actually anchored to the rope as one can see the rope being lowered with them attached; esp. his rope on ground level.

MGD

Correction: That's right. The ropes are on some sort of pulley system, so they are holding on the ropes and being lowered, not sliding down them.

Corrected entry: When Lara and Terry are 'hot dropped' into China their drop-pod is shown skitting along a lake like a skipping stone, careening towards a mountainside, totally out of control. Is that the way it was designed to operate? Isn't that a bit dangerous? And to leave the pod they eject while it's in 'mid-skid.' Considering that they had no way of controlling the pitch and yaw, ejection might have sent them down, sideways, or forwards. In this case they went UP and immediately DOWN - but physics dictates they would have been travelling forward with the same velocity as the drop-pod, which would have likely sent them into the mountainside to crash and die a painful, well-deserved death.

Correction: That was the way it was designed to operate. The plan is that the pod is destroyed so that the Chinese can't find it. Of course, the Chinese are perfectly capable of finding the little bits, but that's a different matter.

Corrected entry: In the fight with the Chinese bad guy in the cave, Laura stabs his foot with the bayonet on her rifle. In the next cut she lifts the rifle and the bayonet is gone.

Correction: She breaks it off and leaves it in his foot.

Corrected entry: When Lara and Terry escape from the Shay-Ling on the ropes they use no gloves or any device to help clinch their hands on the ropes. Had they really gone down all that way using their bare hands to squeeze the ropes, they would have had no skin left in their palms upon reaching bottom.

Correction: They are not sliding down the ropes; the ropes are on some sort of pulley system, so they are holding on to the ropes and being lowered.

jle

Corrected entry: In the Luna Temple when Laura first approaches the map sphere, the metal stand it is on already has hand prints in the dust - where did they come from if no one has been there in over two thousand years?

Correction: I can't see any prints. Timecode and/or screenshot?

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, Lara climbs aboard the dive boat, shown in two shots that are meant to be consecutive. The first shot shows her reaching the top step of the ladder, and she is smiling. The second shot is at a different angle, she is still climbing the ladder, and she is not smiling.

Correction: She's smiling as she's teasing the men about being wet. When she has finished speaking her smile turns into a pout. Then the shot changes and she is still pouting. The continuity is okay.
