SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This mistake can only be detected by freezing the film and advancing frame by frame. It is not visible while watching the film at a normal running speed. According to the rules of this site, this invalidates the error.

So, I reworded the mistake to say that it "briefly vanishes," because it's actually gone for a few frames, not one. I did not advance frame by frame to find the error. If you watch the scene at normal speed, it disappears for a brief moment, then comes back. I assume this correction might have been made without watching the scene, especially since the show was referred to as a "film."

zenee

This is not true. You can see it disappear if you watch it at normal speed; it does not require pausing at all. At least, I am able to see it.

Suggested correction: It does not land on his torso. When Patrick drops the watermelon on Squidward, his mouth is wide open in a very cartoonish way, and the watermelon lands inside it.

Frantic (1988)

Other mistake: As Harrison Ford goes to grab the chimney as he is falling off the rooftop, notice the way the chimney bounces around, like rubber.

Suggested correction: No, it doesn't. It doesn't move at all.

Sacha ★

When he grabs the chimney, a piece of it breaks off, and it indeed bounces around right before he falls.

zenee

First of all, the broken piece falls off camera. The chimney moves because he falls on the roof. It shakes, but does not wobble like rubber.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Revealing mistake: Right after Dorothy slaps the lion, there is a green smudge on her arm. Looks like the witch's makeup. (00:50:35)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: There is no "green smudge" on her arm. Perhaps this is referring to the blue mark that appears on her arm as she talks to the lion? Because I'm not seeing anything on her arm that is green.

Mission: Impossible (1996)

Corrected entry: When Ethan is going down to the security room on a rope you can see a man standing on the floor at the bottom. It's right after he starts to descend.

Correction: The room is empty all the time until the employee enters.

Sacha ★

Correction: What Sacha said is correct, but if this is referring to the second time Ethan descends into the room, then... that's obviously the employee that entered the room, not a crew member.

Christmas Who? - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: In "Jellyfishing" when Squidward gets home from the hospital, Patrick exclaims Merry Christmas! However, later on in the series it is revealed that nobody in Bikini Bottom even knew what Christmas was.

Suggested correction: The episodes are not always meant to be in chronological order. It's entirely possible that "Christmas Who?" took place before "Jellyfishing."

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009)

Other mistake: When the mayor is talking behind the chainlink fence, with Brent in the background eating sardines, you can see as the mayor grabs the fence, his thumbs clip through the fence wire. This occurs on both hands and easily visible, particularly when Mayor Shelbourne says, "Otherwise, I'm just a tiny mayor of a tiny town full of tiny sardine-sucking knuckle-scrapers." (00:10:52)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This isn't really what happens, although it looks like it does. The mayor's thumbs are not pointing outwards, they are curled around the fence wire. As he continues to grab the fence, his thumbs don't clip through it, they curl more and more around it, getting a tighter grip on it. Then when Brent says, "But not me, right?", he lets go, and you can see his thumbs curl back out. This is all visible if you look close enough.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Dora is talking to Randy by his locker she puts the cupcake down in his locker to draw on his shirt. In a later shot when the bell rings it appears back in her hand.

Suggested correction: She picks it back up as she puts the marker back in his locker.

High School Musical (2006)

Audio problem: When Gabriella is singing "When There Was Me and You", when she sings the line "Like I could Sing Along", notice her mouth doesn't move.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: At most, she doesn't really lip sync the word "sing" that well, but she does lip sync the line.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Abner Come Home / The Sewer King - S1-E16

Audio problem: When Arnold is playing chess with the Sewer King, Arnold jumps across the table and knocks the King over. This sequence appears to be sped up: the toilet crashes way after it is destroyed, and the King says "Noooooooooooo," yet his mouth never moves.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The Sewer King's mouth does move, but it does say the line a little too late. However, the toilet crashing sound is exactly where it should be, and the scene is definitely not sped up.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Revealing mistake: When they first meet the Cowardly Lion, he jumps off of a boulder and obviously lands on a trampoline and jumps off.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: There is no trampoline visible. Sure, there is most definitely something he jumps off that is hidden behind the plants, but since we don't actually see it on screen, I don't see how it's a mistake.

Suggested correction: Maybe Squidward has a key to the Krusty Krab that Mr. Krabs doesn't know about.

ccoccia

Absolutely not. There is a very clear shot of Squidward pushing the doors open without a key.

zenee

He could still have a key, but we don't see it.

Whether or not Squidward owns a key to the Krusty Krab is beyond the point of the mistake here. The point is that Squidward is able to walk into the Krusty Krab despite the doors being locked, and he doesn't use a key or anything else to unlock them. He just pushes them open.

zenee

Maybe the doors were not locked properly.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: In the shot after the family walks out of the house, it takes about 7 seconds for George and the two parents to come into the shot. There is absolutely no doubt that they had enough time to change their facial expressions.

The Iron Giant (1999)

Continuity mistake: When the Iron Giant and Hogarth meet for the second time, they both sit down, and you can see that both the Giant's hands are flat on the floor. Then, the Giant produces the electricity shut off switch from one of his hands even though both his hands were previously empty.

Suggested correction: When the Giant crouches down to Hogarth, his right hand is in a fist, and it stays that way as he is sitting down. The switch was absolutely in his hand the whole time.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This is more of a question than a mistake. (To be fair, I don't think questions were a feature yet back when this was posted.) No, he didn't. He only noticed the fire pit (and the colosseum) when he was inside the ant farm. It most likely just wasn't visible to him from the outside, or it was too small for him to see it.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Plot hole: It is apparent that Shrek and Donkey have never traveled to the land of Far Far Away, yet Donkey immediately recognizes the "old Keeblers' place" when he should have no idea where it is or what it looks like.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Donkey only thinks it's the "old Keebler's place." Puss in Boots then corrects him and says it's the Fairy Godmother's cottage.
