Corrected entry: Mina should not be a vampire. People only become vampires when they die as a result of having their blood drained as a vampire. Mina survived the events of Bram Stoker's book.

Corrected entry: When Dr. Jekyll turns back into himself after saving the submarine, as he walks into Nemo's dining room you see Quatermain standing there clasping his hands in front of him and when the camera angle changes to a wide view Quatermain now has his hands behind him.
Correction: In this scene, Quatermain is not seen standing still - he lifts the table back into position, then moves two chairs up to it, then the group moves to receive the message from Skinner. Nowhere is Quatermain standing with hands clasped. Perhaps at another point in the movie?

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Corrected entry: How did M manage to produce 8 of his own Nautilus in such a short time? Surely in such a short time, even with 1000 men he wouldn't get that done. Besides, in order to copy it succesfully Dorian would have taken 100's, even 1000's of photographs of the entire ship. Since he made it the 'old' way, surely someone would have noticed him dragging that thing around on such a big ship. And isn't it strange, nobody stays on the bridge during night-time? What if another ship would cross their course?
Correction: Skinner's description of the fortress shows that the 8 Nautili are not completed, but only a rough framework. Given the technology at M's command, the creation could be largely mechanized, making multiple reproductions easy. As for the photographs, there are a legion of scientists working under M to create it, therefore Dorian probably only needed to photograph certain key parts of the ship that the other scientists couldn't discover (though the steering wheel does seem an odd choice). Finally, Nemo tracks the Nautiloid with an obviously sophisticated system - there's no reason to believe that this is unable to detect intercepting ships at a sufficient range and alert the crew.

Correction: The characters aren't lifted exactly from the books, they're approximations that are interpreted to fit the film's needs. You could also point out that Skinner isn't the real Invisible Man, that Hyde was physically smaller than Jekyll (and they both died), and that Dorian Grey's portrait didn't actually make him invulnerable (quite the opposite, in fact).
