Corrected entry: When the dead animals are shown the first two times, you can hear a swarm of flies around them, but there are no flies visible.

Tears of the Sun (2003)
Stupidity: If the doctor was able to choose the people to go on the helicopter, why didn't she make up a reason to put the president's son on the helicopter for his safety? She could have said he was sick. (01:14:40)

Suggested correction: He is shown to be a caring person. There is no way he would take the place of a sick woman or child just to save his own neck.
That correction is illogical though. By not getting on the helicopter he puts everyone else at way more risk. It would have made getting the rest of the people left behind out of danger much easier as they wouldn't have been hunted down by the people who were chasing the president's son. By not getting on that helicopter he could have gotten everyone killed.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: When Nemo is going through the plumbing pipe, he escapes through one of the air holes at the top of the pipe. But he would've been in the bottom portion of the pipe with the water, not on top with the air. Even if he did jump at one of the holes, there wouldn't have been any suction powerful enough to pull him through.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene with Peter and Mary Jane in the cafe before Doc Ock arrives, the street scene outside is a video loop. Some of the same events happen twice or more, spread over a few minutes.
Correction: This is not true at all. Sure enough, many yellow cabs can be seen in the background but the movements of the people appears to be unique. I could not find any evidence of repeated scenes/events.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: Spiderman pulls the two children to safety out from in front of the truck, when he lands with them you can see the wires used to drop them down.
Correction: In the DVD version, there are no wires visible at any time.

I, Robot (2004)
Corrected entry: In the bar, the lieutenant refers to Del as "Will," as in Will Smith, the actor who played the character.
Correction: He begins are few of his sentences with "Well .....". It sounds like he's saying "Will" but he is not.

I, Robot (2004)
Corrected entry: On top of the USR Main brain, Del loses his gun. It falls few feet down and hangs from the gun belt. As it's fastened from both sides, it's quite impossible that it would hang like that.
Correction: You need to view this scene in slow-motion. The strap of the gun wraps around the (support) wire and then hooks onto the magazine of the gun. This holds the gun in place.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Corrected entry: Despite seeing the man being hit and rolling over the windshield and over the top of the car (hence Ryan Phillippe being splattered with blood), they find the body a considerable distance IN FRONT of the car. Hmm.
Correction: The car spins and turns 180 degrees before stopping.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: When "The Eye Of The Storm" is over New York Jack looks at the flag and the flag stops fluttering. When Jack has pushed his friend down the hole he looks at the flag again and it is fluttering again, just before it freezes. (01:38:55 - 01:40:20)
Correction: We can clearly see (and hear) a gust of wind "pick up" the flag just before it freezes.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: Near the end, "Mission Control" says there's reports of the storm dissipating over North America, but when the the guys in the Space Station look out of the window, they are looking at Europe.
Correction: The spacecrew never state they can see North America, they simply agree that the storm has dissipated. In the movie it is stated that the 3 supercells will join and create one giant supercell that will cover the entire northern hemisphere. If they could see Europe at the end, that would suggest that the supercell has dissipated.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene in the library where everyone is looking for a place to start a fire a worker at the library takes everyone to a fireplace. She says that the fireplace has not been used in 100 years. If the fireplace has not been used in 100 years surely it would have needed to be swept out prior to use or else all the smoke and CO would not have vented out the chimney. Instead it would have filled the room and killed everyone there.
Correction: The fact that we see snow fall out when he opens the fireplace suggests the chimney is clear. Thus smoke will easily escape up and out of the chimney.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: At the end, when Jack Hall finds his son in the library, he opens a door to the room where all of them were staying. The door is completely frozen. Opening the door by it's handle should have caused the handle to break, if not shatter, at that temperature. It would not have just opened as easily as it did.
Correction: Its only frost all over the walls and door handle. The freezing point of a metal door handle is much lower than the temperature depicted in the movie. The door handle would have to be immersed in liquid nitrogen in order to fracture and break apart like you say it should.

Armageddon (1998)
Corrected entry: A few things about splitting the asteroid always annoyed me. They couldn't possibly calculate that drilling a certain depth would "split" the asteroid rather then blowing it to smaller but still deadly bits. Even if they did calculate right they did this on stable rotation. But as they stated the asteroid started rotating unpredictably after passing the moon so it could have turned towards earth causing one piece to hit as they calculated and the other to hit just a bit later. And last even if all 2 previous scenarios go just right (as in the movie) we saw that the asteroid was covered with huge high and sharp "mountains" which would most likely break of in the explosion and rain down on earth. So either way earth would be doomed.
Correction: In regards to the moon, the asteroid started to rotate after passing the moon, not change its trajectory. Thus the two pieces (if sucessfully split) would most likely miss earth. Furthermore, in a weightless environment, the two pieces would be pushed apart by the explosion with the same amount of force. Thus the trajactory of both pieces would be the same (but in opposite directions) from the moment it exploded. In regards to the sharp mountains, they aren't big enough to "doom" the earth and would mostly burn up upon entering the earth's atmosphere.

Crocodile Dundee (1986)
Corrected entry: When the trio drives out to the location where Mick was attacked, they encounter a water buffalo in the middle of the track. Mick honks the horn and yells to get it to move, then gets out of the truck and hypnotizes the beast. Where does it fall over and go to sleep? Right there in the middle of the track. It strikes me that it would be much more difficult to move a sleeping buffalo than one already on its feet.
Correction: It's much easier to drive around a sleeping buffalo than a conscious one. If he were to drive towards the conscious beast, it may think it's being threatened and defend itself. Obviously, Mick does not want the beast to attack the car. Putting it to sleep and driving around it makes more sense.
There are huge trees on either side of the dirt road. No way is that large truck getting past that buffalo.
There was plenty of room on either side of the buffalo to drive around. The distance from the animal to the "huge" trees on the right is wider than the track seems. And on the left was a small tree that if it couldn't be avoid would could be driven over. The rest was just shrubs and bushes.

Identity (2003)
Corrected entry: If the real D.O.C. officer was stabbed in the back through the seat wasn't there a big blood spot on the driver's seat, and wouldn't there be a hole? Didn't anyone notice that, especially Ed, the ex-cop? Why didn't the hooker notice it when she saw the radio wires were cut? (01:15:50)
Correction: Ed never got a chance to get into the car. Rhodes insisted that he'd manage the radio so he didn't give anyone a chance to get into the car. The two criminals obviously would have cleaned the blood when Ray started to pretend to be Officer Rhodes. When the hooker gets into the car, she already started to realise that Ray is not who he is supposed to be. The discovery of a "hole" would be irrelevant by then.

Identity (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Rebecca de Mornay takes the shower curtain outside to make a cell phone call, she rips the curtain hard from the shower rod. When a person does this, the curtain will tear away from the loops, with the metal loops remaining on the metal shower rod. However, the rings are still attached to the curtain, apparently passing through the shower rod undamaged. (00:25:50)
Correction: The shower curtain is attached to the bar with U shaped clips, as seen in the deleted scene when Edward inspects the shower. These clips are for the exact opposite reason stated here. They are designed to unclip from the bar when the curtain is pulled on to PREVENT tearing.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When Storm and Jean are getting Nightcrawler from the church and he falls down, you can see him flipping over with his feet about to go over his head. Just as he is about to stop, he starts rolling the other way (evidence of a deleted harness).

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: When they are trying to take off from the island, the run into the dinosaur and blood spatters on the glass. When they crash, the glass gets shattered. You can see that there is no blood on the glass anymore.
Correction: The blood is clearly seen running off the windscreen of the plane while the plane was still travelling (at a high speed) through the air. Just like water running off your windscreen of your car.

The Perfect Storm (2000)
Corrected entry: When Irene enters the bar during the day and the wind is blowing and it is raining, she is carrying an umbrella. A sudden gust of wind causes the umbrella to turn inside out (which usually breaks an umbrella). When Irene is shown entering the bar, she pulls her umbrella down in the usual fashion, and puts it in the umbrella stand, with no signs of it having been broken or having turned facing outward.
Correction: Most umbrella frames are hinged. Meaning they are designed to be able to bend "outwards". I have an umbrella that does that and it easily snaps back into place.

Jurassic Park (1993)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Grant, Ellie, Lex, and Tim are saved by the T. Rex appearing inside the lobby of the main compound and eating the two raptors, how exactly did she (the T. Rex) get in there? All the doors are too small to allow her access and there are no signs of a forced entry anywhere.
Correction: The T-Rex is standing in a huge doorway when she bites the first Raptor. Its a large entry-way where the workers can access to build, as the building is not yet complete. The "gang" exit the building via a smaller door.
