Corrected entry: During the chase scene at the beginning of the movie, Bob pulls up a map of where he is as opposed to the cop car and the getaway car. The computer then plots a merge pursuit course as being an immediate right, followed by a left turn and two more right turns. The car converts, then is shown taking an immediate left, then a right turn, a mirror image of what the map displays.

Celtic Pride (1996)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Lewis Scott beats up Jimmy and Mike on the outdoor basketball court to escape from them, it's pitch black out one moment then seconds later it's completely light out.
Correction: That's not how the scene went. It started getting light while they were still playing basketball and it was meant to show the passage of time (i.e. they weren't playing basketball for just 2 minutes). By the time Scott leaves it's morning, which is why it's light.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: Right after Ruby Rod says "So tell me, my man... You nervous in the service?" - the flight attendant is promptly tossed through the door to the right. A second later (dialogue uninterrupted) she appears right back where she was before. (01:12:30)
Correction: There are two different flight attendants in the scene to begin with. Once the 2nd is tossed through the door she isn't seen again. The 1st one is though.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: When Leeloo falls in Korben's cab, he parks and then rubs his neck. She's supposed to be still knocked out, but there's the the reflection of somebody moving on the window. It's not Leeloo, it's a man.
Correction: I've seen the scenes (even in slow motion) and nothing like this exist. First off, the parking and "rubbing his neck" scene is after Leeloo falls into the cab. There's no reflection of someone moving, however she's not knocked out. When she does get knocked out and Korben is hiding in the fog, there's not a shot of him rubbing his neck. But there still is no reflection of someone moving, although there is a shot of Korben through the window.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: In Korben's apartment, the General holds up the folded list to read to Dallas. The official seal is on the left of the paper, in the camera's view. When the angle changes, the seal is on right until the list is unfolded and turned around.
Correction: There are two seals on both sides of the documents. When Major Iceborg hands the document to General Munro, we see the seal on the left and it's on the "top" side. When General Munro starts to open or unfold the document, we see a seal on the "bottom" side (which appears to be on his right, but if he turns the document over it would be his left).

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: After the doctor's have recreated Leeloo and puts the thermal bandages on her, the first one is laid over her breast, in the next scene as she is woken up 2 more bandages have appeared, one is going vertically centered with her body and ends at the second newly appearing bandage around her neck. The vertically bandage is also laying above the other bandages except the one around the neck, which its nicely sewn in under.

Misery (1990)
Corrected entry: When Annie leaves Paul's room at one point, she doesn't lock the door. She walks out and walks away, yet when Paul decides to leave the room he has to unlock it with a bobby pin.
Correction: You can hear the distinct sound of the door being locked, thus the need to unlock it with the bobby pin.

Misery (1990)
Corrected entry: When Annie Wilkes returns with the typewriter for Paul, she says that the letter 'N' is missing. However, the button is there during the writing montage.
Correction: The "N" key is there the whole time, but that's not what Annie is referring to. It's the "n" on the typebar that is missing (the part that strikes the paper). Thus whenever he hits the "N" key, the typewriter responds to a keystroke and moves one space, however since there's no "n" a space is seen (i.e. "a d" instead of "and").

Misery (1990)
Corrected entry: When Paul adventures throughout the house (and when Buster, the Sheriff, visits), the house looks very large as they travel within it (the large bedrooms, large upstairs, large dining room, etc.). However, when they show the outside of the house there is no possible way that all of those rooms and that space can fit into that tiny mountain home that they show the outside of.
Correction: This is just wrong. There's nothing wrong with the dimensions of the house, in fact in the wide shots, you can see the windows for each room. The outside is certainly big enough, unless you're looking at some of the other smaller buildings around the main house.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Rock Bottom" when Spongebob gets to the kelp bar and whenever he puts his hand in the bus vrooms, but watch when he runs over to catch the bus, he runs right through it.
Correction: That's not what happens. It might look like it, but it's clear that as he approaches the bus, the bus takes off and then we see Spongebob finish crossing the road once the bus is gone.
15th Mar 2004
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Rock Bottom" when it shows SpongeBob with a glove on his nose, he looks out the window. In the next two scenes, it shows him again, but this time the little glove is gone.
Correction: The glove on his nose is gone when he pulls his head back into the bus, reasonable to think he lost it while his head was out the window, because it's not as if it reappears later.

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)
Corrected entry: When the boy gives Harry and Lloyd the slushies, the cherry slushy has no straw in it. In the next shot it has one.
Correction: This is wrong, when the boy comes out of the store with the slushees, you can see straws in both of them.
15th Jan 2004
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)
Corrected entry: When Lloyd is getting ready for school he is dancing in the halls, showering in the science class, goofing off in the cafeteria and looting the lost and found for clothes. There is no one in the school. You can see light outside and he runs off to hurry up and catch his bus. Don't you think teachers/staff would already be in the building?
Correction: This is an assumption and not an error. In the beginning Lloyd's dad says "school's gonna open up soon" and we don't know how long he spent goofing off, so the school still could have been closed. Additionally, just because we don't see anyone doesn't mean they're not there. It's possible they're all aware of Lloyd and just let him be.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
You Wish ('Shanghaied') / Gary Takes A Bath - S2-E11
Corrected entry: In the beginning when SpongeBob pours the Kelpo cereal he pours it over his glass of orange juice, plate of toast, and his bowl. When he brushes the cereal away the plate, the glass, and the bowl all disappear.
Correction: That was the point of the scene, that, along with the cereal, he swept the dishes away. In fact, in one shot you can see the cereal bowl being flung away.
28th Oct 2003
Dexter's Laboratory (1996)
Corrected entry: Why was it raining quarters? They suddenly appeared with no logical explanation.
Correction: It's meant as a joke (and it wasn't raining quarters so much as quarters falling on him). The joke is, he spent so much time trying to get money he missed the ice cream truck and now when he's trying to get a drop of melting ice cream, money falls on him; but it's too late for it to do him any good.

Star Trek (1966)
Who Mourns for Adonais? - S2-E2
Corrected entry: Spock says they've only managed to punch holes in the force field large enough to fire through. But when the Enterprise fires, the force field (in the shape of Apollo's hand) is no longer there at all. (00:44:30)
Correction: When the Enterprise fires on the temple, the force field IS visible. However, as they continue to fire and damage the power source, the force field starts to fade and flicker in and out, until it is gone.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
Corrected entry: They named the brothers based on alphabetical bible characters, but, not having an "F" name, they improvised with "Frank"incense... But there are enough F names in the bible, Felix, Flint, and even more if you count "Ph" names like Phillip and Philemon.
Correction: First off, they only used names from the Old Testament. Second, they obviously don't count "Ph" names since those start with a "P". "Felix" only appears in the New Testament and "flint" does not appear as a proper name, but just the hard rock. There are in fact, no men in the Old Testament with a proper name starting with "F".

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: The room where Cap and Widow are talking to Zola is several floors below ground, yet when Cap pushes the debris off them after the missile attack, they're outside on ground level again - he looks across the road to see cars approaching. (00:58:40 - 01:04:25)
Correction: Two things wrong, they aren't at ground level and there's no "looking across a road" and certainly no cars. When Captain America gets up, he climbs up some debris, and he's still well below the agents who would be at ground level. The lights he sees are Shield planes in the sky flying above him.
27th Dec 2014
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: When Bucky tries to kill Fury on the street, the sun changes between shots.
Correction: This is just wrong. The sun doesn't change position, which is obvious by looking at the shadows objects cast and the shadows don't change directions in any shot. Of course, many of the shots we are shown are looking out a tinted window, smoke filled, or between buildings where the building shadow covers the street, which affect the amount of sunlight we see where other shots have more direct sunlight.
27th Dec 2014
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Corrected entry: When Steve and Natasha get to the military camp it's still daylight, but when they get inside suddenly it's night time.
Correction: When they're inside the base, it's hardly "night time", although it is darker, it's meant to show passage of time. We don't know how much time they spent at the gate or in the base trying to find where the signal came from. In fact, the next scene after being at the gate in daylight is Natasha saying it's a dead end, implying they've been searching the base.

Correction: If you watch the scene again closely, you can see as the computer zooms into the converge point, Mr. Incredible's car (on the map) has already made the first right, thus the first turn we see is the left hand turn, which is the 2nd plotted turn.
