Corrected entry: In the scene where the family are watching TV reports of other crop circles appearing around the world, the TV claims it's showing a picture of one in Wakefield, England. It is most unlikely that there would have been any crop circles in Wakefield, as there is very little arable farming near there. Most of the ones that did appear in real life in England were in the South.

Signs (2002)
Correction: You can see that it wasn't made in a crop, but in a grass field. Crop sign was a general term to describe what was happening since they were appearing mostly in crops.
Correction: It was 100% Wakefield. You could see this crop circle from the M1 going south.

Signs (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the family is going down to the basement, Graham Hess goes down the stairs last. If you look behind him at the window at the top of the stairs, you can see the cutouts of the planets, stars, etc., and the window now only has a couple of boards on it.
Correction: The barricades didn't hold. You can see later as they return upstairs, most of the barricades were ripped down by the aliens.

Signs (2002)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when the alien captures Morgan, he tries to kill him using his poison gas. You see the gas being sucked in Morgan's nostrils. However, later on, Graham says his son will be fine because his lungs were closed. If his lungs were closed, then no air could be sucked in, therefore the gas shouldn't have found its way in Morgan's body, as we see it being sucked in as if he was breathing.
Correction: That's true and not true. The gas wasn't really sucked in, it just dispersed all over his face. And if his lungs were closed, then that means he was struggling to breathe, which is what occurs during asthma attacks. He tried inhaling the air but couldn't. He also seemed to be unconscious at the time, most likely in asthmatic shock, and probably having fainted from being attacked by the alien.

Signs (2002)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, after Bo was attacked by the dog, the dog is lying on the ground, dead and bleeding from the knife wound. But the boy, who we are led to believe stabbed the dog and is right next to it, has on a white shirt with not a speck of blood or dirt on him. Surely some blood would have sprayed?
Correction: Why would the blood spray? Unless he hit an artery or major vessel, then there is no reason as to why the blood would spray. It was a stab wound, not a hack wound.

Alien 3 (1992)
Corrected entry: How come the alien eggs in all the films look different? At least the ones in the first three films should be looking the same since they came from the same queen.
Correction: The eggs in the first film were generations old, preserved by the stasis field in the bottom of the derelict. In Aliens, the eggs are all new, but are still virtually the same. In Alien 3, it is no different, even though we don't see the egg for more than a few seconds. In every movie, the eggs were brown and the same size, and not very different from one another, other than the fact that in Aliens, the eggs had a white slimy substance inside.
Disagree. If you watch Alien and Aliens the size of the eggs AND the facehuggers are definitely different...MUCH larger in Aliens.

Predator (1987)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the soldiers are attacking the guerilla camp, Jesse Ventura fires his minigun at a sniper's nest, which subsequently explodes in a massive ball of flames. I point this out because the minigun he uses fires full metal jacket rifle rounds, and they are not explosive, nor would they cause a structure comprised of wood to suddenly explode in the way it does.
Correction: It wasn't necessarily Blaine's minigun that set off the explosion. You can see that the explosion is already occurring just after he begins firing. Considering that Billy was seen throwing grenades into the nests, he could've done the same to the nest Blaine was firing on. Its also feasible to assume that Blaine may have hit a stockpile of explosives; explosive shells can be triggered by a high-velocity impact. Since Mini-guns have a high rate of fire, and could have easily penetrated the nest, it may have also hit and detonated some explosives.

Predator (1987)
Revealing mistake: When Bill Duke picks the scorpion off Carl Weathers' shoulder with a knife, you can blatantly see some gum or similar that's been used to stick the scorpion onto the tip of the knife. Even if it's meant to be Bill Duke's gum, it's not on the tip of the knife before he stabs it.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It isn't gum, it's literally the scorpion's guts.
There are no guts in the scorpion's body, so it's obviously some material to stick scorpion to the tip of the knife, and it's blatantly visible in the close shot.
It's the abdominal fluid. It probably is gum in real life but if you kill an insect you will find it has a gum-like fluid in its abdomen.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: When we are shown the screen of the marines names there is a curious omission. It lists the marines by rank first: Lt. Gorman, Sgt. Apone, Cpl.Hicks, Cpl. Ferro, Vasquez, Drake, Spunkmeyer, Cpl. Dietrich, Frost, Wierzbowski, and Crowe followed by the non-marines Bishop, Ripley and Burke. Where is Hudson?
Correction: The list wasn't finished. You can see that it's still loading up as the scene fades out. Its very possible that Hudson would've been next on the list, since he was not the only one missing on it.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the baby alien pops out of the woman's chest, she eventually dies but her head leans to her side instead of hanging forwards as it should do but then in the next shot of her, her head is hanging forwards. (01:09:35)
Correction: She rolled her head to the side as she died, and it slumped over when she was dead.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: Lt. Gorman is supposedly knocked unconcious when an overhead storage compartment in the APC comes loose and dumps a whole hord of boxes on him. I guess he's a pretty fragile guy because if you watch the scene in slo-mo the only part of his body that actually comes in contact with the boxes is his right arm. His head is never hit or even touched by them.
Correction: Gorman gets smacked right on the head when the boxes fall. Besides, for all we know those boxes could've weighed up to 100 pounds.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: The counter on a fully-loaded pulse rifle reads 300 rounds. However, a magazine of the size shown could never contain 300 rounds of 10mm ammunition.
Correction: I don't know where anyone in the movie said that the counter reads 300 bullets, because it certainly wasn't ever said in this film. The counter on the Pulse Rifle only goes up to 99. This is shown when Ripley loads it at 2 different parts in the movie: when Hicks is showing her how to fire it, and when she is getting ready to go find Newt in the hive. There was never any indication that the Pulse Rifle clips hold 300 rounds.
Correction: You sure? Cause, to me, they seemed more like a power source for the smart guns and not the ammo.
The video here shows her loading a full magazine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY2wGD6-j0Y At the 59 second point, she loads the magazine and the round indicator shows 95, not 99 and definitely not 300. The round indicator only goes to 2 digits.

Predator (1987)
Corrected entry: When Arnold is running away from the Predator he slides down a hill and falls off a cliff into the river below. In the sequence following we see him get washed down the river over waterfalls and such. When he climbs out of the river onto the mud, we see the Predator's invisible body dive into the water, making a small splash. There are two mistakes in this scene. 1. When Arnold crawls up the bank into the mud there are no cliffs around from where the Predator could have dived from, there are only trees. And if the Predator did dive from the trees, he would have easily seen Arnold getting out of the river. 2. Juding by the splash made, the Predator did a head first dive into the water. But from any height this would have broken his neck because the river would have been too shallow.
Correction: Actually, if you pay attention to the scenery, you see that Arnold falls down 2 waterfalls. When Arnold plummets into the pond, look behind him. There is a big cliffwall. You see it behind Arnold as he swims up, and behind the Predator when he drops into the water. He DID see Arnold get out of the river, which is why he jumped into the pond in the first place, but Arnold inadvertantly hid himself by getting covered in mud. Secondly, although the Predator was camouflaged, it was plainly simple to see that the Predator appeared to do a cannonball into the water, and if the water was deep enough for Arnold to swim in, then it was deep enough for the Predator to cannonball into. Besides, the Predator was leaping off trees that were over 20 feet tall and landing as if it were nothing to him earlier in the movie...I don't think a plunge into water is gonna be much of a bother to him.
