Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: When Alan has a shave and says that he's never done it before, his face is covered in cuts. A few seconds later, his face is shown completely clear again.

Correction: Alan has four to five small nicks that he has put toilet paper on. As he leads Judy and Peter into the kitchen you see him pulling the toilet paper off his face. Tiny shaving cuts are barely visible after they stop bleeding; Alan was in the bathroom long enough for the cuts to dry.

Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: When the hunter traps the young girl and Sarah at the store and holds them at gun point, the young girl cracks a smile. Would you be smiling?

Correction: Character decision, not a movie mistake. She knows that Alan is Van Pelt's target; in fact, Van Pelt completely ignored Judy, Peter and Sarah when he first emerged at the house. Perhaps she's smiling because she knows she's not going to get shot.

Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: During the flood, the cop and the woman go up to the door. The cop draws his gun; just then the water rushes out at them. This much water would have probably caused him to lose his grip on the gun, and the last thing he'd be thinking about is putting it back, yet as he's floating down the street, his gun is back in the holster.

Correction: We don't see Carl drop the gun; we'll have to assume he held on to it and replaced it in the holster. With everything happening around him, holding onto the gun was probably one of his primary concerns.

Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: When Robin Williams and the cop are in the police car, they crash through the store (that the other three are in) because the brakes are cut. A few minutes later, the cop drives by the lady and stops without any problem. (You do see the cop pour some fluid into the car, but it would not affect the brakes, because you can actually see the hole in the brake line when they are trying to stop for the first time.)

Correction: After the crash they cut to another scene, then back to Carl filling the brake fluid. He must have repaired the line off-camera or the brakes would not work. He knew he was leaking brake fluid; he would not attempt to drive the car unless it was fixed.

Replacing the fluid and repairing the line (more like replacing the line) would not make the brakes work correctly. You would also have to bleed the air from the line at each caliper or wheel cylinder, which takes specialized tools and quite a bit of time.

Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: When Aunt Nora calls the house and Judy picks up the phone, the phone is very sitting neatly for something that would have been knocked askew since a great herd of elephants, rhinos and zebras just came running through the house.

Correction: We don't see it fall or get hit, so we'll have to assume it survived the stampede intact. If we saw it fall and then re-appear on the table without intervention it would be a movie mistake.
