Corrected entry: In the end, the guy throws the glass thing, it flies, it bounces, and it falls to the ground. But we never hear it.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Corrected entry: When the Baudelaires are trapped in the car, Violet rips off the edge of the seat to use in one of her inventions. The seat is not nearly long enough for how long the 'rope' is when they use it. (00:36:35)
Correction: When the "rope" violet makes is seen in wide shots, you can see knots tied along it. as there is more than one seat in the car, it is obvious she ripped them off all the seats and tied them together.

Garfield: The Movie (2004)
Corrected entry: When at the dog show, before Garfield runs out, all the dogs are being held by their leashes and collars. When they chase after Garfield for the next minute or so, they have on no collars or leashes.
Correction: When the dogs take off after Garfield they obviously slipped out of their collars to chase him.

Agent Cody Banks (2003)
Corrected entry: When Cody falls into the tree, he falls straight down, yet he ends up upside down.
Correction: He could have gone into a branch which would make him flip over.

The Parent Trap (1998)
Corrected entry: When Hallie (playing Annie) walks up to her home in England and opens the door, she doesn't turn the handle but just pushes it open.
Correction: So? There are many types of door hardware in England, one of which is handles that don't turn. They don't have a latch, and it's easier to open the door, since you don't have to turn the knob. A smaller bolt is usually installed above it to lock the door when needed.

102 Dalmatians (2000)
Corrected entry: When someone calls Chloe at her house and tells her to go somewhere, he hangs up when she asks who he was. But you don't hear a dial tone.
Correction: It takes a few seconds for the dial tone to start.

Fluke (1995)
Corrected entry: Fluke hurts his foot in the end and he limps. But several times he stands right on it. (A) When he uncovers the word "forever" on the grave. (B) When he runs away after uncovering the word.
Correction: I only see him rest his weight on his front right foot temporarily for brief moments. He doesn't appear to walk on it for extended periods of time. He also doesn't stand on it for extended periods of time.

Flubber (1997)
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, the Flubber works more powerfully in some scenes more than others.
Correction: If the Flubber can be conscious and take the form of little goo-people, it certainly could change its bounciness at will.

Fluke (1995)
Corrected entry: When Fluke attacks what used to be his best friend, you can tell that he literally sticks out his arm for the dog to grab.
Correction: Sticking out your arm at an attacking dog is a good (and recommended) way to protect your face and body from the dog. Fluke was growling when the man approached the living room, and it was pretty obvious by then that Fluke was going to leap up and attack him. So, his best friend stuck out his arm to protect himself as best he could from the attack. His actions are totally reasonable in this scene.

Fluke (1995)
Corrected entry: In the beginning you can tell that the dog is licking the camera when she is supposed to be licking the puppy.
Correction: The only thing you could be referring to is sometimes the shots are from the dog's point of view, and at those times, the dog is supposedly licking the puppy but is really licking the camera lens. There is nothing wrong with these shots.

Treasure Planet (2002)
Corrected entry: You must float when you are flying because they needed a gravitational pull on the ship. Then how come when some of the pirates fall off the ship when the Captain, Jim and Delbert first escape, the pirates just keep falling. To top it off, later in the movie, one of the pirates floats away when the gravitational pull was shut off.
Correction: Gravity causes acceleration, not velocity. The group of mutineers fell through the open hangar because they were in motion from jumping, but they soon passed out of the artificial gravity field generated by the ship, and continued downwards, soon to be caught by the planet's natural gravity and become planet side pizza. As for the spider, he grabbed the flag and the rope gave way, so he flew away with it, and was too far to be affected by the gravity field once BEN reactivated it.

Agent Cody Banks (2003)
Corrected entry: When Cody puts the nanobots inside his shoe, they start to melt immediately. When the ice is placed on Natalie's forehead at the end of the movie, it takes several minutes to melt.
Correction: The reason they melted so quickly is because he had been wearing the shoes for at least an hour or two. In less then an hour the shoe temperature gets really hot. Also, when he went to put his shoe back on the roof he crushes the ice inside the shoe.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Corrected entry: When George 'never was born' it stops snowing. How does George's existence affect the weather?
Correction: It doesn't but any being powerful enough to create a world where George was never born could easily stop the snow (to add to the effect if nothing else) without having to explain why.
Correction: Well, also the butterfly effect. A lot of things can affect the weather. Maybe his existence meant there were more particulates of pollution in the air on this specific day.

Jumanji (1995)
Corrected entry: When Alan gets beat up, his black eye appears immediatly. In real life, this doesn't happen. (00:06:05)
Correction: Although normally it doesn't happen it very well can. I have seen two cases where someone has gotten hit in the eye and the black eye appears instantly.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Corrected entry: After Obi-Wan gets off that rainbow coloured creature he was riding, he reaches to pet him. His hand actually never touches the creature.
Correction: Obi-wan is pretty absorbed in looking at General Grevious and all of the droids. I would imagine his mind is not really on consoling the creature; therefore, him missing a "pet" is his mistake as a human, and not a mistake in the movie.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Corrected entry: If you have the (US Version) DVD set on subtitles, when Harry is in the hospital wing after quidditch, you hear one of the Weasley twins talking. He says "Let's walk you off the Astronomy tower." The subtitle says, "Let's walk you off 'a tower'." (00:56:30)
Correction: It's quite common for subtitles to not include all words spoken by characters. As you could imagine, the subtitles could very well fall behind the action on screen or have to speed up if every last word appeared on the screen.

A Little Princess (1995)
Corrected entry: In the beginning, in India, Sara's dad is telling her how she is going to a school in New York. If you watch, she is holding a doll that she receives later in the film when she first goes into her room. She acts as though she has not seen it before, even though she has.
Correction: It's not the same doll. The doll she is holding has short, straight hair, no hat, and is made of a shiny porcelain. When she receives the Emily doll later on, the doll has long curly hair, a hat, and is not shiny.
25th Sep 2003
The Mighty (1998)
Corrected entry: When Max is sitting on the "Smitty" bench in the end, he keeps moving in his seat. You can tell if you watch the words and where he sits.
Correction: Max doesn't move around very much, but even if he does, it's not a mistake. The point of that scene is to show that he sits there for a really long time, doing nothing; you would expect him to move around a bit if he's sitting there for hours.
21st Jan 2004
Treasure Planet (2002)
Corrected entry: They should have not have been able to escape the black hole. The black hole's gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot escape it, much less a flying ship.
Correction: The minimum speed you need to escape a certain star's gravitational pull is function of the distance you are to it: the higher the distance, the less minimum speed you need. There is a certain critical distance, lesser than which the minimum speed to escape is higher than the speed of light, making it impossible to escape. However, if your distance to the star (in this case, a black hole) is higher than that critical distance, then you CAN escape from it if you have enough speed (lower than the speed of light). When they look in the direction of the black hole, we can see a black sphere that represents the black hole. The radius of that black sphere is more or less the said critical distance. In the movie, their distance to the black hole is higher than the critical distance, hence they can escape if they have enough speed (which they got from that "wave").

A Little Princess (1995)
Corrected entry: When Miss Minchin is telling Sara how she is to work as a servant, her lips don't move. It's easy to see for it goes on for a minute.
Correction: Its obvious that the speech is not suppose to go with the actaul film. Its a narration over top of the movement.

Correction: Bennett throws the glass ashtray at Philip, which then bounces back at him and hits his head. Bennett falls over, and there is an audible clinking sound of the ashtray hitting the floor right after he falls.
