The Goldbergs (2013)
13th May 2022
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Corrected entry: Many of the dead bodies in a crime scene, or cadavers during an autopsy in varied episodes are breathing.
Correction: This one is going to have to be more specific about which dead body and when as most of the time a dead body was used for the series (especially in autopsies and when they found the bodies initially); it was a prop based on a real person and thus could not be breathing as it never had life to begin with. Exceptions were when it showed a person actively dying on screen where them breathing may have been a last breath. This is going to need to be more specific to verify as a definitive mistake.

CHiPs (1977)
Corrected entry: The crash lady is two different people. After the car crashes and John tries to pull her out, she's an older looking blondish woman. But after John pulls her free, in the next shots, she is a much younger brunette gal with large blood smudges on her face.
Correction: The actress is Pamelyn Ferdin, and it's her inside the car in the interior shots, as well as the exterior shots while Jon holds her on the ground. Depending on how the light hits her, her dirty blonde hair can look more blonde or brown. Time code starting at 00:25:20.

The Waltons (1972)
Corrected entry: When Grandma / Esther takes Jon-boy aside to ask him about his grandfather's whereabouts, she says "Zeb" instead 'your Grandpa'.
Correction: While the kids are entertaining themselves with hand shadow puppets, Esther pulls John, not John-Boy, aside and asks, "Isn't Zeb with you?" In fact, twice she says "Zeb" to John, about his own father. And later while Zeb is sitting on Ike's pool table, Zeb says, "Esther" when he's talking to John-Boy. Zeb does this again with John-Boy when he learns Esther's going to the dance. This type of thing occurs throughout the series; it's normal.
Correction: That's not a mistake, character or otherwise. She simply used her husband's name. She even says Zeb several times through the episode. My own Grandparents and parents have switched between using their spouses' names or saying "your ___" depending on the situation.

The Waltons (1972)
The Actress - S1-E16
Corrected entry: Johnboy tells Alvira he's 17, when in The Hunt and The Sinner he'd turned 18.
Correction: In S1xE5 "The Hunt" John-Boy's age is not mentioned at all in this episode. In S1xE8 "The Sinner" John-Boy's age is mentioned twice as being 17 years old; first, while he's with Zeb in the vehicle, then later when he speaks to Matthew Fordwick.

The Sandlot (1993)
Corrected entry: When Franklin grabs the ball and hurdles the fence, in the next shot we see the dog (a tiny bulldog) also jump the fence and chase him. No dog that small would reasonably or realistically jump a 12 ft fence, even with a very long-running start. It would be physically impossible. This was purely for comical purposes, nothing else.
Correction: Unless you're talking about a deleted scene with a different dog, the "tiny bulldog" is in fact a mastiff. And the 12 foot fence is a 6 foot fence. A mastiff can definitely jump that.

Creepshow 2 (1987)
Corrected entry: When the elder Indian (Native American) with the black hat steps out of the yellow car at the beginning, and says hi to the shop owner, then Hi to the wooden Indian chief. You can see the Indian chief move slightly, indicating it is not a wooden statue, but a real person under the getup. (00:04:52)
Correction: The scene where he moves is intentional. In fact, Old Chief Wood'nhead is played by Dan Kamin, and he moves a lot more later on.
Correction: He does give a shocked look when he sees the statue move its head a bit.
26th Feb 2022
The Amityville Horror (1979)
Corrected entry: When Kathy goes to her daughter's window to shut it, the red eyes that appear outside during the dramatic horror effects are too wide apart to be a small child's eyes.
Correction: It's the demonic pig-like entity outside (you even lightly hear the sound of a boar snorting), not a little girl's ghost. Hence, the eyes are further apart. But even beyond that, given it's a supernatural, potentially demonic being, real-world logic (such as having a consistent head shape) doesn't necessarily apply anyway.
Correction: What Kathy saw in the window was Jody the pig. (I know it's stupid).

Clash of the Titans (1981)
Corrected entry: During the riddle challenge, Andromeda's hair is in a stylish updo while standing at the altar with her mother Cassiopeia. Perseus enters moments later and solves the riddle. But in the next shot as they enter the courtyard together, Andromeda's hair is suddenly down around her shoulders and she looks like a little girl, instead of the mature woman she was at the altar moments before.
Correction: The next scene is later in the day. Everyone has changed clothes and they are at a celebration.
20th Sep 2021
S.O.B. (1981)
Corrected entry: Felix' corpse is in rigor mortis. When the men lift it from the casket, his arms joggle a bit, and the legs bend easily at the knees. (01:40:00 - 01:42:35)
Correction: Rigor mortis wears off within forty-eight hours, and Felix has been dead for much longer than that.

Rescue from Gilligan's Island (1978)
Corrected entry: They've been stranded for 15 years. So this takes place during the mid-late 70s after Watergate. Yet the Howell's and MaryAnn are the only ones who haven't aged or changed their look a bit, while the others look appropriate for the time gap.
Correction: The actors did not go into suspended animation after the show ended. The show began in 1964. The movie was shown in 1978. All the actors are fourteen years older just like their characters. The fact that some of them aged better than others is definitely not a mistake.
Correction: The actors who played the Howells were in their 50s and 60s during the shows original run. Most people after 50 (or definitely 60) don't look too much different if they age 10-15 years. Mary Ann DID look a bit older but was still only 40 during this movie and Ginger was played by a different actress Judith Baldwin (who was younger than the original Ginger Tina Louise explaining that). Others were more middle-aged so you can tell the difference easier.

Arachnophobia (1990)
Corrected entry: Every time the fake king spider is in a scene, the tech department adds a hissing sound for dramatic effect.
25th Aug 2021
Arachnophobia (1990)
Corrected entry: Toward the end when the doctor climbs up and throws the alcohol on the pulsating egg sack to torch it, the fake king spider suddenly "pops' up on its hind legs, like a Halloween special effect.

Downton Abbey (2010)
Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Corrected entry: The new ladies' maid calls Anna "Miss Daisy" as she leaves the kitchen. (00:36:00 - 00:37:00)
Correction: She said "I'll go ask Daisy."

Downton Abbey (2010)
Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Corrected entry: During discussion in the servants quarters, John's estranged wife remarks "as if!" which is a noted 80s verbiage. Not at all early European nor American. (00:42:26)
Correction: Yes, it was used heavily in the 80's, but that's not when it originated. One of the earliest written use of the phrase comes from 1903 in the book "The Pit" by Frank Norris. And usually words and phrases that appear in print originated verbally before that (unless the author is credited with creating the word or phrase).
And usually words and phrases that appear in print originated verbally before that (unless the author is credited with creating the word or phrase Can you provide an example perhaps, outside the "The Pit"? Sometimes there is assumed history in wording or verbiage from a certain period, that never is actually found or proven.

The Beastmaster (1982)
Corrected entry: Throughout most of the film the male characters wear leather underwear beneath their sheaths, for censorship purposes. When in actuality there would be no such thing. As the sheath was merely a coverup for the male privates in primitive cultures.
Correction: The movie is set in a fantasy world. We have no idea what their traditions are concerning clothing.

Road House (1989)
Corrected entry: Dalton exits his car and tosses the keys to the African American wino, saying 'keep it, it's yours', then walks away. The wino uncovers the car and gets in, but the hand that puts the key in the ignition is caucasian.
Correction: It's not the wino that uncovers the car, it's Dalton. The wino is wearing a denim jacket. Dalton is wearing white jacket and white trousers. The wino gets the keys to the old junker car, that's not covered. Then it cuts to the covered car, which is Dalton's actual 'non-junker' Mercedes-Benz, parked inside the parking garage. It is Dalton's hand that turns the key to his Mercedes-Benz, henceforth, Caucasian.

The Karate Kid (1984)
Corrected entry: Daniel and his mother supposedly moved from Jersey to LA, but the opening travel scenes are desert, palms, and tumbleweed, nowhere near Jersey.
Correction: They first show them leaving the city in New Jersey, crossing middle American farmland, a desert area (likely the Chihuahuan Desert in southern Texas and New Mexico), the Canyon Portal Hotel (which was a real hotel in Arizona before being torn down), a mountainous desert (likely the Mohave in southeast California) and finally the apartment complex in Reseda. They travelled across the country by car. They were bound to see multiple types of landscapes, including the American deserts.
Again, this is the very opening of the film when they are DEPARTING New Jersey. Not the traveling parts following minutes later.
Here is the opening scenes for the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK1xslvKteE&ab_channel=LightningBoyXXX You can see them traveling exactly how I described: city, farmland, sand desert, motel, mountainous desert, apartment complex.

Coal Miner's Daughter (1980)
Corrected entry: When Loretta hears a caller from outside and then heads out to the front porch to see who's calling her name, the man coming up the hill is wearing coal mining gear. However, in the next shot, it is a different man dressed in a navy sweater and freshman's cap.
Correction: This is not a mistake. Loretta and Doolittle did not have a phone and would use their neighbor's as needed (he complained about it). Loretta hears her name being called and, going outside, sees someone in the distance who looks and sounds like her coal miner father coming toward the house. The image changes as she realises it is actually the neighbor, who is coming to relay the news that her father passed away. Loretta was having a premonition/vision of her father's death moments before learning he died. He had been ill with a lung disease (from coal dust), and she was likely expecting the bad news at some point.

Sister Act (1992)
Corrected entry: The number of nuns in the choir changes between when Mary Clarence joins, the later casino scenes, and the end concert for the Pope. At the start, there are over 20, and by the ending, there are about 12-15.
Correction: When Erica tells Pop-Pop that he should go see Adam while he's working at the diner, Pop-Pop agrees and responds, "Also, all this sad sandwich and horse-brush talk makes me want to take a break from you two for a while." Pop-Pop says, "you two" referring to Erica and Geoff, not YouTube.
