Corrected entry: The mistake is in the scene where Stryker's crew obtains the meteorite souvenir from the desk of some Nigerian fellow on the top floor of a military building. Just after Reynolds' finishes his final jump but before he relaxes and stands up normally again and says: "Okay, people are dead", you can see the cables coming up from his back, which allow him to do the Matrix-style jumping. There's a cut to the Nigerian hiding behind his desk, before coming back to Reynolds and the cables have disappeared.

The Hangover (2009)
Corrected entry: When the guy missing a tooth is looking at himself , a cameraman is visible in the chrome bumper.
Correction: When watching this scene, there were many objects reflected in the 'bumper' and the main flat part of the tray. There was nothing reflected that resembled a person with or without a camera.

The Hangover (2009)
Corrected entry: After the meat is given to the tiger, the guy runs back though the door. When filmed in the bathroom, he does not quite make it through the door and the tiger is real close to him and the door. It's almost as if he shuts the door before he gets out. But in the shot outside the bathroom, he has a wide open door and leaps out with ease.
Correction: He is seen opening the door (viewed from inside the bathroom), quickly steps out and shutting it behind him (viewed from outside the bathroom). Note the darts on the outside of the door. He does not close it first.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Corrected entry: The gold storage in the Federal Reserve Bank is actually below the subway tunnels. So the bad guys wouldn't be able to steal the gold the way they do in the movie.
Correction: Yes we do see that the level of the gold storage is below the subway level. But the 'bad guys' came with a huge ramp to gain access from the ground level to the train platform level below. It is not beyond belief that they have another smaller ramps for other split level transfers. Obviously the operation was planned carefully and they came fully prepared. Just because we don't see how they transfer the gold from the storage to the trucks, it doesn't mean it is impossible.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Corrected entry: When John ambushes the two men in the truck in the tunnel, only three shots are heard, yet there are nine bullet holes in the door. (01:15:30)
Correction: On my DVD copy, I hear 9 shots which is followed by the sound of empty gun clip.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Corrected entry: When McClane is looking for the bomb in the subway, a woman screams because she thought he was looking up her dress. However, when the subway car is derailing, the same woman is watching the car derail.
Correction: The blond haired lady who screams in the train carriage is wearing a bright yellow jacket, yellow dress, is wearing glasses and has her hair pinned (no ribbon). There is no-one matching that description waiting on the platform. There is a blond lady but she has no jacket, no glasses and her hair is tied with a a blue ribbon. Similar dress, that's about it. Even with different costume, there is no way you could distinguish that its the same person (even with slow-mo or pause which is against the 'movie mistake' rules anyway).

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Corrected entry: When McClane and Zeus jump into the water as the ship explodes, the underwater shots show two white men, not one white and one black.
Correction: That's quite a bit of a stretch to say both men are distinguishable to be 'white'. The scene is quite dark and contains flashes from the explosion. In fact for a moment or two, both men appear to be 'dark'. We'll have to put this down to color and contrast of the scene.

Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Lloyd asks the old lady to watch his stuff so that he can break a dollar, he leaves with the big hat on. But when he gets back to his apartment and is crying about being robbed by a sweet old lady, he is not wearing the hat. There is no way that she was able to steal it from him when he left her. (00:15:20)
Correction: This mistake is based on assuming the old lady took it. Since we see him walk away with the hat, then she could not have taken it; therefore, not a mistake. Lloyd losing the hat in some other way between leaving the old lady and returning to the apartment is completely plausible and fits into his character.

Pineapple Express (2008)
Corrected entry: After leaving Saul's apartment, Dale asks Saul how much money he has. Saul says, "Only the 75 you gave me." Saul also sold snicklefritz to Chris G. Meaning he should have more than 75.
Correction: Simple mistake considering that Saul has been "smoking" pretty much all day long. We don't see Saul pull out all the cash and count it. He forgot about the second transaction (after Dale's), plausible for someone in his condition to make this kind of a mistake.
25th Jul 2009
12 Rounds (2009)
Corrected entry: Miles the terrorist kicks out the back seat of the BMW 740i to get from the trunk, where he was hiding, to the passenger compartment of the car. It's plain to see the seat cushions were only placed in position; there is no metal seat-back or bracing between the trunk and passenger compartment, which these cars have.
Correction: Throughout the movie Miles is shown to be meticulous in his planning. He obviously planned to hide in the BMW to escape the search area. Hence he prepared the car prior to his girlfriend picking him up at the chosen location.

Watchmen (2009)
Corrected entry: During the credits, it is revealed that The Comedian shot JFK - except that JFK is shot from behind, and the Comedian is positioned about 100 feet in front of the car.
Correction: The movie and comics are set in an alternate reality. Many historical differences may exist. Besides, according to all the videos, we see his head jerk 'back and to the left' Clearly indicating being shot from the front. (Refer to the movie JFK).
24th Jul 2009
Watchmen (2009)
Corrected entry: During Adrian's magazine interview, the reporter says that he and Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl, are the only Watchmen to have revealed their true identities. But the first Nite Owl wasn't a Watchman; he was a Minuteman.
Correction: Character mistake. It is quite common for people (characters) to make a mistake, especially a reporter.
14th Jul 2009
Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Corrected entry: As John and Zeus are running to the park for the second bomb they are talking about the incident from the first film, John says that he threw Simon's "little" brother out of a window, yet when John was talking to the FBI agents they did not mention whether Simon was older or younger then Hans.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: During the escape in the desert, Agent Simmons tazes Sam's roommate and as he screams it cuts to a another shot of him passed out already but he is still heard screaming.
Correction: Yes screams are heard. It could be Sam or (less likely to be) Mikayla. They are witnessing their friend get zapped in the throat.
10th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: When Agent Simmons is climbing the pyramid to catch up to the massive robot at the top, one shot shows him quite far away from the robot. In the next shot he is suddenly very near it.
Correction: He is always seen at the edge of the Pyramid. The distance to the Devastator is relative to the camera angle.
6th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: In the desert battle at the end, Bonecrusher is seen entering the fight. He was decapitated by Optimus Prime in the first film.
Correction: Another Decepticon has chosen to take that form.
6th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: Whenever we see Bumblebee in his robot mode his yellow body armour is scratched, dented, battered and blackened as if he has been in a battle, however when he transforms into his Camero form the body work is pristine. This occurs even when Bumblebee has been in action throughout the film. Driving in the desert doesn't even cause him to pick up any dust (unlike Skids and Mudflap).
Correction: These are Transformers. They can change their appearance to match form, shape or look. So Bumblebee has chosen to represent his robot form which may not match his pristine car form.
5th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: In the night scene after 'the death scene', Sam says he will give himself up to the authorities. Bumblebee tries to convince him otherwise and transforms. He then revs his engine as Sam sits on his bonnet. You can see the crew member's silhouette in the Camaro as the car is revv'ed.
Correction: Duplicate entry and has been corrected many times. The transformers can project holographic images of drivers.
5th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: It took a remarkably short amount of time to rebuild Megatron. Only a few minutes appeared to pass between the point that the Decepticons arrive at Megatron's corpse, the smaller Decepticon is killed and used for parts, and Megatron is completely repaired. The Allspark shard had not even been placed in Megatron yet, so it is amazing that he could have been fixed that fast without it.
Correction: Too fast? Compared to what? They are of unknown species with unknown healing capabilities. Besides, when we see the AllSpark shard stabbed into Megatron we see him react. In the next scene he is well into his ascent to the top. We don't know how much time has elapsed between.
2nd Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Optimus Prime is getting dropped off by the airplanes, right after you see Sam and his girlfriend walk off towards the drop zone, there is a scene in the nearby town. It's a split second scene, but you can see a graphical error in which a man is almost thrown to the ground from the top of a small building and then the shot cuts. (01:43:15)
Correction: It appears to be a soldier jumping from one building to another. Wildly at that. i.e. waving his arms and legs around. If I recall correctly, just before the screen switches, a blast can be seen on top of the building the soldier jumps off. He was anticipating the explosion and jumps.

Correction: I could not see any wires. There are the two scabbards to hold the swords, that is all. You likely saw this in the online leaked unedited version, so not a valid mistake.
