Corrected entry: Scene - the monorail train crash; Batman escapes the monorail by throwing an explosive to the rear of the train; the explosion separates the first car from the rest of the train. As the locomotive pulls away from the rest of the cars Batman flies out the back. Seconds later when the train goes off the edge the locomotive is reconnected to the rest of the cars and there is no damage from the explosion. A previous corrector proposed that the trailing cars of the monorail still had forward momentum. True, but they were decelerating and could not possibly have caught up; Batman jammed the accelerator of the locomotive. The trailing cars could not have "caught up" while the locomotive was still accelerating and certainly could not have re-attached themselves after the explosion. (02:03:30)

The Dead Zone (1983)
Corrected entry: General problem with the camera technique. They did not "sync" the movie camera with the television and computer screens in the movie. When the camera is out of sync with screens that are being filmed, it causes a distortion band across the picture tube. Two of the scenes where this is extremely evident (and a bit annoying) are when Roger and Johnny are watching the Stillson commercial and when Chris is on the computer (very visible green flickering band across the computer screen). Modern digital video cameras use a program called synchroscan to synchronize the camera to the TV screen being filmed.
Correction: Limitations in the technology at the time of filming are not mistakes.

The Dark Knight (2008)
Corrected entry: Once inside Lau's building, Lau's bodyguards fire several shots at Batman while he is fighting. The bullets shatter the glass partitions inside the office but the exterior windows of the building, directly in the line of fire and only a few feet further than the partitions, are all entirely undamaged.
Correction: Previously submitted and corrected. The shots hit Batman and either embed in his suit or deflect away from it, never striking the building's outer glass. The shooters are professional bodyguards, standing still, aiming at a target just a few feet away. We have no reason to assume they missed.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: Wall-E only knows the name of the other robot as Eve-a (as he calls her throughout the film), but when lasering their names into the pole, he writes "Wall-E & Eve". Since he never saw her name printed (and never corrected his pronounciation) he should have carved "Eve-a".
Correction: The mispronunciation is not because he doesn't know her name, but because his "voice" has limited capabilities. he can't make a "v" sound without the "uh" after it.

Correction: Incorrect. The fight between Batman and Al Ghul finishes in the second car of the train - we see them move through the connecting doorway during the fight. The front two cars are seperated from the remainder by the explosion - the brief external shot of the explosion clearly shows two cars ahead of the break point. The front two cars are all that you then see fall, move through the underground parking garage and eventually explode.
