Corrected entry: In the cliff diving scenes, the water as seen from a bird's eye view looks like a very bad Photoshop effect. Also, the wave that crashes over Bella is very bad visually due to rushed CGI.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Corrected entry: When the babies are born they are too big to be newborns. They appear to be 9-11 months old. Also there are no umbilical cords when they are born.
Correction: Padmé does not come from Earth. Maybe babies on Naboo are bigger and don't have an umbilical cord.

Constantine (2005)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the movie, John Constantine is seen using a piece of glass to slash his left wrist to commit suicide. However after that both his wrists are bleeding.
Correction: He slits both his wrists. The second one is off screen, but the movement can be seen.

FearDotCom (2002)
Corrected entry: This entire film is a mistake; it is about a female who is a hemophiliac. Women cannot be hemophiliacs.
Correction: It's very improbable, but not impossible. The defect sits on the female X chromosome, so if a hemophiliac and a woman with one defective X chromosome have a daughter, this daughter's chance is 50% to be a hemophiliac (she definitely has the defective X chromosome by her father and a 50% chance to get the defective one of her mother).

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Corrected entry: In the girls bathroom, Mourning Myrtle tells Harry how she died by seeing the snake's eyes by the sink. How would she have died if she was wearing glasses? She would've only been "petrified".
Correction: Not true. All people who only were "petrified" saw the basilisk in a reflection, not only through glass (Hermione in the mirror, the cat in the water on the floor, Colin through his reflex camera). Glasses alone don't seem to be enough as a protection.] [Actually, Justin didn't see a reflection, he saw the basalisk through Nearly Headless Nick. The difference is that looking through a ghost will distort the image, but glasses are specifically designed to make the image more clearly.
This was also confirmed by JK Rowling when she was asked. She said glasses do not protect you as she also pointed out glasses are designed to make an image more clear to someone who cannot see which would show Myrtle directly was she was looking at. If anything, I actually would wonder if someone with bad eyesight might be saved if they were *not* wearing their glasses and couldn't properly see it.
I'd say it's simply she didn't have her glasses on, just with her. She went into the stall to cry after being bullied. They could have very well been off when she walked out of the stall.

Mr. Deeds (2002)
Corrected entry: How did Emilio get the $40 billion in the end if the money was already sent to the UNCF?
Correction: The cheque was not valid, because Deeds was not the owner of the money (he wasn't the owner of the stocks and therefore had no right to sell them).
6th Jul 2002
Rush Hour (1998)
Corrected entry: When Lee & Carter are outside the chinese restaurant eating chinese food, Carter is blatantly eating thin air out of an empty food container.
Correction: Carter doesn't eat anything while he's talking, but there's food in the container - you can see that he holds a piece of meat with the chopsticks.
