Grandma's Boy picture

Other mistake: During the Dance Dance Revolution challenge, the challenger should have won. Jeff does some outlandish freaky dance moves, which in no way correlate to the arrows that are on the arcade screen. The arrows that he hits, aren't even the same ones that register as being hit up on the screen.

Smokin' Aces picture

Other mistake: When the assassin disguised as Hugo frees himself after being arrested, he escapes into the adjacent room, closely followed by firing FBI agents. There, he masters the remarkable task of taking off his wig, his mask, his trousers, his jacket and the bloodsoaked white shirt and stashing it all under the bed within two seconds.

Other mistake: There is a scene where Miss Potter is in the Lake District beside a lake drawing. Across on the other side of a lake there is a red car driving along the road quite fast. This is in the cinema version.

Eragon picture

Other mistake: When the baby dragon is hatching, the chip in the egg doesn't match where the beak is, and the body should be perpendicular to the way it faces, it couldn't have fit the way it does. (00:13:40)

The Astronaut Farmer picture

Other mistake: During the credits, Jay Leno shakes Billy Bob Thorton's hand and then says "How are you Bob? Nice to see you". He should have called him Charlie or Farmer. (01:38:40)

Hollow Man 2 picture

Other mistake: During the sex tape scene, the blinds are closed to prevent someone outside from looking in. About 30 seconds later, you can see the blinds crinkle a little bit, to show the "hollow man" has split the blinds open in order to peek inside. This isn't possible to do from outside, as the window would be in the way. (00:18:10)

Silent Hill picture

Other mistake: During the scene with Pyramid Head removing the bar blocking the door to the room where Rose and Cybil are, the flashlight's light is being pointed at the door the entire scene. However, Cybil is only seen pointing it at the door at the beginning of the scene, and then at the end when she realizes Pyramid Head is destroying the barricade. Throughout the entire middle of the scene, Cybil is not pointing the flashlight at the door as it would seem, rather she has her body, and hands, pinned to the back wall with the flashlight pointing downwards.

Flyboys picture

Other mistake: In one of the air battles, the one where our heroes come to aid to a platoon of infantry harassed by German Fokker D.I's, the plane of Lowry is under fire after he downed an enemy airplane. In one shot, you can see he gets multiple hits just behind the pilot seat. Since these planes are barely armoured, say not at all, Lowry should have been punctured by the bullets at his back as well, instead of being completely fine. (01:16:00)

Other mistake: Although the sail is down, they never dropped anchor and the boat never drifts or changes location.

Suggested correction: The name of the movie is "Adrift" because they do drift. Maybe you didn't realise it since there were never any points of reference.

Since you suggested there is no point of reference how do you know the boat does drift.

Snakes on a Plane picture

Other mistake: When an aircraft is flying above the "transition altitude," which I believe is 18,000 ft. in the US, then the aircraft's altimeters are set to a standard of 29.92 millibars below that: they must be set to a local pressure to display the correct height. So when the controller at LAX is warning them that the aircraft is below 1000 ft., then he is basically telling them the aircraft is potentially higher than it actually is.

Poseidon picture

Other mistake: When the ship first turns upside down, power is lost throughout the ship and emergency lighting takes over. Yet shortly after, people are being severely electrocuted in the Disco.

Suggested correction: The lights went out because the power cables connecting them to their power supply were severed. Just like a downed power line in a town without power, there is still an electric current traveling through these lines, but the lights go out because they are no longer connected to that power supply.

Jazetopher

That's not true. The ship, when upside down, suffered a blackout, since the engines that drive the generators cannot run upside down. The only power source available then are the ship's batteries, which certainly can't and don't provide the amount of voltage that apparently still coursed through the line in the disco. It should've been dead, like everything else on the ship not connected to an emergency power source.

Miami Vice picture

Other mistake: When Ricardo is translating the email while on the ship, he chooses the origin language as English and the destination language as Spanish. But when he presses translate, it translates from Spanish to English. (01:20:20)

My Super Ex-Girlfriend picture

Other mistake: When Jenny and Matt first enter his apartment, the deadbolt on the door is intact. Later, when Professor Bedlam's minion kicks the door open the plate and deadlatch are missing. The act of kicking the door open might destroy the striker plate in the door jamb, or it might blow the entire lock body through the door, but it couldn't neatly remove the plate and bolt alone.

Failure To Launch picture

Other mistake: Just after Paula shoots the last of the Devil Babies, as he turns and says "Aw man", his back is devoid of paint from the fatal volley.

The Little Cars in the Great Race picture

Other mistake: Wrangler is seen training for the race by driving around a race track. In the first shot, he is driving around a corner, then he is driving through the track. He is then on a television being watched by Coupe, and the lap time is being recorded. However, the timer is shown just starting at zero seconds, even though he should be midway through the lap by this point. (00:11:35)
