Exit Wounds picture

Corrected entry: You can tell that this movie is filmed in Canada because when Steven Segal is doing the catwalk on the bike he stole he drives past a Tim Horton's, a Canadian doughnut shop. There are no Tim Horton's in Detroit or the States.

Correction: There are Tim Horton's elsewhere in North America - the film was still filmed in Canada, though.

The Unsaid picture

Corrected entry: When Kyle Hunter dies of asphyxiation from killing himself by connecting a tube going from the exhaust to the inside of the truck, his father pulls him out and lays him on the floor, and tries to revive him. The truth is, when a person commits suicide in this manner, all his/her joints become stiff and the whole body becomes rock hard which makes it impossible to pull that person out of the vehicle without breaking his/her bones with a device that only a rescue crew would have.

Correction: Kyle had taken a handful of valium beforehand - who was to say that the carbon monoxide got to him first?

America's Sweethearts picture

Corrected entry: When John Cusack's character is about to be hit in the face with the tray at the end of the fight scene in the restaurant, you can see his left arm go up to block the tray and protect his face. But, in the next scene he has been hit full face on his left side, which is practically impossible when you get hit arm first.

Correction: if you get hit arm first it is fully possible to hit yourself with your own hand from the force of the tray coming at him. The marks aren't from the tray, they are from his own arm.

The Hole picture

Corrected entry: At the beginning, the police suspects the guy with the glasses, although he was out of the country in the critical period. The police knew that the girl (the psychopath) had managed to come out of the hole. How then could they suspect the guy with the glasses, since either he would have had to let her out (which was not possible- since he was not in the country at that time) or she would have needed to have the key. Or how else could she have come out?

Correction: The police inspector assumed the girl must have picked the lock. He says so when he asks to interrogate the girl.

Dr. Dolittle 2 picture

Corrected entry: During almost everyone of Eddie Murphy's scenes you can practically always see a giant green square or circle in the reflection of his glasses, no matter where he is.

Correction: The green (sometimes purple) color is the non-reflective coating on the lenses. This coating makes the eyes easier to see for film or photography. My glasses do the same thing.

Get Over It picture

Corrected entry: In the very beginning, when they are all at the party. Felix (Colin Hanks) sees his sister Kelly (Kirsten Dunst). when he first sees her, she doesn't have anything on her shoulders, but when he goes over to her, she has a knitted sweater on over her dress.

The Mexican picture

Corrected entry: About 60 minutes into the movie, Jerry (Brad Pitt) has finished the task that has caused him to travel to Mexico and is able to return to the U.S. He gets to the airport and the airline attendant asks for his passport, he shows it to her but he realises that it's not his, someone had switched passports with him. He had to stay in Mexico, and thus the wackiness and mishaps continued. You do not need a passport to enter or leave Mexico, just a birth certificate.

Correction: This may be true for border towns or resorts, but for auto travel in central Mexico, you certainly do need a passport.

The Order picture

Corrected entry: Officer Dalia Bar appears to have vast jurisdiction. She starts out as an airport officer in ben-gurion (near Tel-Aviv) and winds up as a Jerusalem Police officer, with people to command and all. How fast a transfer from airport police to Jerusalem Police.

Correction: As an Israeli police officer, I have been sent to assist in Ben Gurion airport security many times. Besides, when Van Damme arrives at the airport, Dalia mentions that the security has been reinforced lately, which might explain what she was doing there. Perhaps filling an empty space for a day, or just assisting someone.

The Others picture

Corrected entry: When Grace and Mrs. Mills are sitting by the fire talking, Grace's wrist is "naked" in one shot and in the next she is wearing a wristwatch. (00:42:25)

Correction: Her watch was hidden by her sleeve.

Blow Dry picture

Corrected entry: When the mayor and Shelley are in the hall talking she says that Phil was the one in the team who did the evening hairdos, the hair by night. Later, when Phil and Brian are sitting up in the stands waiting for the hair by night part of the competition to start, Phil tells Brian the he can't do that section because that was always Shelley's job.

Correction: Shelley talks to the mayor about when she was modeling. Later, Phil tells his son that Shelley quit modeling when she was 18, and she would take part as a stylist.

Ichi the Killer picture

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when Ichi is fighting Kakihara, Ichi brings the blade in the heel of his boot down on his forehead severely cutting him, when the fight has finished and Kakihara has fallen off the building Jiji lifts Kakiharas fringe but there is no mark there.

Correction: This isn't a mistake. The part when Kakihara has a cut in his forehead plays in his mind. When you see him falling from the building it switches back to reality(Kakihara commits suicide, instead of being killed by Ichi).

Tomb Raider picture

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when Lara is turning the knife to point at Powell, the water behind him is moving, and so are the globe-things behind Lara. They shouldn't have done that, what with time being stopped, and all...

Correction: No, time hasn't stopped, it is merely moving backwards. This also explains why the knife is moving back towards Powell and not hanging in mid air.

What's the Worst That Could Happen? picture

Corrected entry: In the last scene, Martin Lawrence throws away the ring that he had been pursuing for the entire movie. There is a big deal made about this point. However, when he kisses his girlfriend, the ring is clearly still on his finger.

Correction: Remember the scene with the massuese. Well LaTisha set that up. The massuese was actually Martin Lawrence girlfriend. She took the real ring and replaced it with a fake that read "grow up" on the inside. When Martin finally gets the ring and reads that on the boat, both men figure it out about the massuese and the fake ring and then he throws it out. But when he sees his girlfriend she gives him the real ring back.

Corrected entry: Liv Tyler gets hit in the face by the lawyer who tries to rape her leaving this large shining bruise on her face. The policeman notices this and questions her about it. The next day when he returns to check up on her her bruise has gone.

Correction: She could've easily covered it up with makeup.

Hardball picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where G baby gets shot, why did he get shot even though the tough guys were not shooting anywhere near him?

Correction: There is a guy in the car with a shotgun that shoots in the direction of G-Baby. The guys that had the pistols did not shoot G, but a stray bullet from the shotgun did.

Head over Heels picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where the Russians show up at the model apartment, the Russian model is wearing a bathrobe and her hair is messed up. In the scene where they are taking her to the limo, she is wearing a new, much better looking outfit and her hair and makeup are perfect. Why would the bad guys allow her enough time to dress and do her hair and makeup before kidnapping her? (02:35:01)

Correction: If you listen carefully, you can hear the model ask the Russians for some time to get ready.

15 Minutes picture

Corrected entry: Before Emil kills Eddie, he tells Eddie his plot. He tells Oleg to turn the camera off after he has already told Eddie that he will kill him. This would have been on the tape that was given to the news media. In the United States, demonstrating malice aforethought proves that one is not temporarily insane, it shows that they know exactly what they are doing and that they have thought out or planned how to do it. This is defined as murder in the first degree. No court in the US would have ever found Emil unfit to stand trial and he would likely go down for murder one.

Correction: The original tape given to Hawkins edited out that part of the tape. At the end of the movie,in front of the courthouse, Oleg shows the tape to Hawkins showing Emil knew what he was doing before he killed Eddie.

Serendipity picture

Corrected entry: The constellation Cassiopeia is not over New York city all year round. In the movie it is shown both in Spring and Winter.

Correction: It is not shown in the winter time. Jonathan only traces the formation on Sara's arm, he doesn't point it out in the sky. Sara sees it in the sky in the spring time and realizes Jonathan was right when she matches the stars to her arm freckles.

Impostor picture

Corrected entry: In the sewer fight scene where Spencer and Cale are ambushed, a bad guy shoots the Glock pistol at Cale. The pistol doesn't fire, and Cale says "safety". Glock pistols do not have a distinct safety switch, the safety is on the trigger. Thus, if a human finger deliberately pulls the trigger it WILL fire. (00:53:35)

Correction: Glock pistols have a safety switch in the trigger to prevent accidental shots and has also a security switch in top of the trigger that can block it. So it is not a mistake.
