Stardust (2007)

Corrected entry: When Tristan ties Yvaine to the tree with the "magic chain" one end is tied to Yvaine's hand and the other end is held by Tristan. Yet the scene shows another end of the "magic chain" joining Tristan's end. That makes three ends of the same chain.

Correction: A chain can have more than two ends. You simply add a new link at any point and continue the chain from there. The chain is magical and even grows to the length he requires, so it is already adding new links to itself to make it grow. Making an additional end is not that hard for its purposes.

Stardust (2007)

Corrected entry: When Tristan receives the "magic chain" from his father it is about 12 inches long. When he places the "magic chain" on Yvaine in the crater it's about 12 feet long. Tristan is neither a wizard or warlock and should not be capable of altering its length.

Correction: One does not need to be a magician to use it, apparently. We see it grow on its own when he ties Yvaine to the tree. Initial length does not seem to be an issue here.

Stardust (2007)

Corrected entry: In the scene in the magic inn when Lamia traps Tristan and Yvain with green "witch's fire," Tristan sticks his hand holding the Babylon candle into the fire. Tristan screams and the Babylon candle is lit. Tristan shouldn't have felt any pain and the Babylon candle shouldn't have been lit because he was wearing the snow drop flower, which deflects witch's fire, at the time. In a later scene when Lamia confronts Tristan, she tries to use witch's fire against him but the snow drop flower deflects it.

Correction: The flower is not a "deflect fire" flower. It's simply a magical protection. In this case, protection meant letting him light a candle. But you'll notice that his hand didn't in fact get burned, due to the flower's protection.
