Van Helsing (2004)

Corrected entry: When Van Helsing kills Mr. Hyde (and when he first 'stakes' Dracula) he makes the sign of the cross and mutters, "Requiescat in Pace" (Latin for "May he rest in peace."- RIP) He pronounces Pace as 'Pa-chay.' This is a strange thing for a Vatican-raised person such as VH to do, because any elementary Latin student knows that Latin has no 'ch' sounds: a 'C' is always a hard 'C.' Pace is pronounced 'Pa-kay.'

Correction: In classical Latin, a c is 'hard' and pronounced as pa-kay. Church Latin has evolved over the last 1,500 years, and Pace is pronounced pa-chey.
