Cast Away picture

Other mistake: In the cave we see Tom Hanks drawing an analemma without a precise timekeeper, which is needed to draw one. What he could have done is a meridian rect, which is build with the meridian time. The analemma is the differential chart between the solar time and civil time.

Suggested correction: No, what we see is Tom Hanks drawing a chalk outline on a wall to approximate the date. There is no reason to assume he got it exactly right or knew exactly what he was doing. He probably started just by drawing lines on the cave wall to mark the days then noticed the light.

Greg Dwyer

I'm afraid "just drawing lines" doesn't create the well-crafted analemma you see in the movie. A very precise time-keeping device is necessary: just a minute off will dramatically change the shape.

The Patriot picture

Other mistake: When Martin and his younger sons attack the soldiers Gabriel sent to their camp, the body count totals 20. That includes the private who gets up and tries to run that Martin hacks to death. Later when Tavington is questioning the wounded private the Cherokee scouts brought in, he indicates he was in the fight. But Tavington states 20 soldiers were killed and the ambush shows 20 being killed. Where did the private come from?

Erin Brockovich picture

Other mistake: When Erin starts working on the case, her youngest daughter is supposedly 10 months old. Later on in the film, Erin says she's been working on the case for 18 months, which would make her daughter more than 2 1/2 years old, but the actress playing the daughter is at least a year too young for that. Also, Katie and Matthew don't age at all over those 18 months.

The Whole Nine Yards picture

Other mistake: When they've duct taped the cop to the x-ray machine to check the outcome of the procedures Oz did on his teeth, there is no film in his mouth as the machine takes the x-ray. (01:17:20)

Vulgar picture

Other mistake: When Gino gets shot and killed, the gun that shoots him isn't being held at quite the right angle... the way it's aimed, the bullet should have gone to the right of him, but instead he reacts as though he's been hit in the head. (Given it's a super low budget movie, they probably just didn't have enough time or money for a second take).

Pitch Black picture

Other mistake: When Fry is looking around for Riddick at the end, she's holding the blue bottle of bugs to light her way. The blue light on her face isn't from the bottle as she holds it, as she's circling around in some cases with the bottle completely behind her, yet her face is still lit up blue.

The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle picture

Other mistake: When Rocky jumps off the lighthouse in a failed effort to fly, he falls and hits the ground. Once on the ground, we see his goggles are unevenly on because of the crash. However, one of his goggles actually goes through his head.

Men of Honour picture

Other mistake: In the courtroom scene, when Chief Sunday tells Brashear to stand up, the tenders go to help him up without question, and when Captain Hanks overrides him, saying that he has to stand up himself, even they look confused and surprised. They wouldn't be just some random enlisted sailors doing this, they have been trained in being a tender, and would reasonably know what the policies are. (01:56:50)
