Corrected entry: Groveton Highschool's mascot was a Tiger, not a Lion. They were the Groveton Tigers.

Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)
Corrected entry: In the car chase scene at the beginning, Axel is in a red Stealth. After the window has been shot up and pushed off the car, the bad guy shoots up the passenger's seat. The seat miraculously ejects from the car after being shot up. This can't happen from someone shooting bullets into a seat. (00:10:40)
Correction: This wouldn't really be a mistake. The car is coming from a chop shop. The seat may not have been bolted in yet, and simply sitting in the car. Therefore, the power of the shots could push the unlinked seat in the car up high enough to be caught by the wind (since they are traveling so fast) and pulled from the car. I know it's highly unlikely, but possible nonetheless.

She's All That (1999)
Corrected entry: When Laney and Zach and the other popular kids are at the beach, Preston comes over to the girls and asks them if they want to play volleyball. The two girls say no and there is a cut of Laney. When she is laying down there is a book in front of her, it is a sketch pad with spirals on it. Then it cuts back to Preston. It then cuts back to Laney and the book is a different book with a famous painting on the page and information about it.
Correction: Its the same book, different page. There is about 5 seconds or more between these shots and Laney could have easily flipped the page.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)
Corrected entry: When the man with broken nose is wheeled along on the trolley, it is very clear that there is nothing underneath the trolley. Yet it turns out that the tiger was underneath there. (01:11:00 - 01:14:00)
Correction: He isn't "underneath the trolley." He's on the lower level of the trolley. This section is completely covered by the sheet until the tiger is revealed and he could have easily been there the entire time.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)
Corrected entry: In the scene where John is talking to the tiger at the circus, a two-headed llama walks by. If you look closely, you can see a wire holding up the second head.
Correction: I've watched this scene several times with regular speed, paused it, and played it frame by frame. I can see no wire holding up the second llama head, nor do I believe that this is how they'd do this scene.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)
Corrected entry: After John's daughter has gone back to bed after using the bathroom, the doorbell rings and in walk the sheep. How did the sheep reach the doorbell to ring it, and why didn't the wife get suspicious after hearing the doorbell ring for the second time? Surely she could hear all the noise the animals were making?
Correction: One of the other animals who can fly or jump, who came in directly after the sheep, could have rang the doorbell. Also, who says Mrs. Dolittle doesn't get suspicious? She is extremely frustrated with John after he leaves her to go "work on the proposal and to walk Lucky." She may have been simply fed up and didn't feel like going out to the living room when she heard all of the noise. Furthermore, John told her that his work partner was there, and he may not have wanted to come out in front of company in her night gown.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)
Corrected entry: Just before the scene when Dr. Dolittle is giving medical information to the animals that visit his home, about halfway through the movie, the doorbell rings and Eddie Murphy goes to answer it. It's at night, so he goes into the hallway and visibly turns on the light in the hall, which comes on, but there is no light switch on the wall.
Correction: There is a pillar at the end of the hallway which acts as the entrance to the living room. This pillar could easily block sight of the light switch.

John Tucker Must Die (2006)
Corrected entry: After the scene where they all fall off the cheerleader pyramid, where John is talking to Heather about Kate, notice the guy at the locker just to the left of Kate when she's by the wall. The guy closes his locker and walks off just as Heather finishes with John, but in the next shot, he's still at the locker. (00:34:20)
Correction: There are several seconds from one shot to the next. In the first shot, the background character is just leaving his locker, in the next scene he is back in the locker and takes out a bag and leaves in the same direction. He easily could have forgotten the bag and gone back for it.

Correction: Simply because a movie is based on a true story doesn't mean that they need to incorporate all the minor details from the true-life influences. Often times, while making a film, a writer/producer/director will knowingly change minor details, such as this one, simply because they believe it to be better for the story as a whole. This is a creative decision. In this film in particular: 1) Sunshine never really kissed Gerry in the locker room. 2) The team never really ran to the graveyard at Gettysburg for Coach Boone's speech. 3) The scene where the boys are rejected from the restaurant on the grounds that some of them were black never happened. 4) The character of Ray doesn't exist in real life at all. Therefore he couldn't have intentionally missed a block and, in doing so, injure one of the players. 5) The real Titans never danced onto the field prior to games, etc.
