Corrected entry: At the end when Shrek and Fiona decide not to remain in human form, when the clock hits midnight, the bell chimes 13 times.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Corrected entry: During the scene where Mike TeeVee has been transmitted through the TV, you can clearly see him standing on a black stage type platform, which you shouldn't be able to see. (01:29:10)
Correction: You can see him standing on a black platform, you then see him step down off the platform. The fact that you see him step off the platform while still in the TV indicates that this is not a mistake.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Corrected entry: Professor Lupin tells Harry that he recognised him the first time he saw him because he had his mother's eyes (and didn't have to be told who he was). The first time Lupin saw Harry, Harry had passed out and his eyes were shut - and Hermione was using Harry's name before he came round.
Correction: Hermione was only saying 'Harry', Harry Potter is not the only person in the world called Harry. Lupin didn't realise that this Harry was 'Harry Potter' until he'd come round and opened his eyes.
Correction: Lupin didn't know this was Harry Potter who was passed out. And everyone was talking about Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban, not just Harry and his friends. The "first time" he saw him, Lupin was chasing off the dementor and when he turns around, he first saw Harry.
Correction: I think Remus was lying about recognizing Harry from his eyes. When Lupin was asleep in the compartment the trio sat in, Harry told them that Sirius Black is after him. And heard him because he was pretending to be sleeping but he heard everything. So no he knew he was Harry when he heard his story.

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
Corrected entry: In the Sumo Arena, the 'Twister' move Fat Bastard used on the Sumo Wrestler would definitely be a foul, and he would have lost the game; but in the movie, he wins.
Correction: For that very reason Austin and Foxxy both say 'That's not right' and in the very next scene you see Fat Bastard paying the referee. Fat Bastard performs a foul and still wins because he has bribed the ref, not a mistake.

Sex and the City (1998)
An american girl in paris (part deux) - S6-E20
Corrected entry: Smith and Samantha discuss how it's been a long time since they've had sex and how it's her chemo that's killing her sex drive. Only a pair of episodes earlier, while she was on chemo, they not only had sex but taped it.
9th Dec 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: In the episode where Spike is having memories of his mother, he tells her that Drusilla made him what he is (a vampire), telling us she is his sire, but in series two we find out that Angel was his sire.
8th Dec 2003
The Lion King (1994)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, Scar says, "Oh, no Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me." Mufasa runs up to Scar, roaring, and says, "Is that a challenge?" Problem is, the roar is still going on while Mufasa is speaking.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Once More, With Feeling - S6-E7
Corrected entry: In "Once More, With Feeling" Buffy reveals to the other Scoobies that she was in Heaven, if this is the case, how come Willow extracted her from Hell? Surely she couldn't have done so if Buffy wasn't even there.
4th Dec 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
First Date - S7-E14
Corrected entry: How does Wood know his mother was killed by a vampire? We saw Spike kill his mother in the season 5 episode "Fool For Love". Spike broke her neck on an empty subway. There were no witnesses, and no bite marks.

Day 2: 10:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. - S2-E15
Corrected entry: Mason was coughing like crazy all the time after exposure to plutonium. Yet when he is hiding on the plane from Jack he is up there a good ten minutes and doesnt cough once.
Correction: The main reason for not allowing Mason to fly the plane himself was that he might pass out, so it is possible that Mason wasn't conscious throughout the whole flight.

Family Guy (1999)
Corrected entry: If Stewie was mutated because Lois smoked pot when she was pregnant with him, then why was Stewie's potential brother as smart as him?

Friends (1994)
The One In Massapequa - S8-E18
Corrected entry: In 'The One In Massapequa,' Ross and Rachel have to pretend to be married for the night at the party. Unless everyone was blind, then wouldn't someone notice Rachel and Ross didn't have a ring on their finger? (00:06:30)
Correction: Not every married couple wear wedding rings. Ross mentions that Rachel said something about a dove placing the ring on her finger, but remember, Rachel is pregnant during this, it is very possible that people thought she'd just taken off her ring because her hands had swollen due to the pregnancy.
27th Aug 2003
Friends (1994)
Corrected entry: Throughout the series, the intercom buzzer to get into the apartment building is used sporadically. In some episodes, people have to be let into the building by communicating through the intercom; in others, the visitors suddenly appear knocking at the door.

Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: They show one of the guards, Will, shooting himself in the head after he shoots the Irishman. However this man did not actually shoot himself and his family took a lawsuit against the film makers for portraying him as gutless. The rumour that he had shot himself as well as a passenger surfaced not long after the ship sank. The family of the officer received messages from crew members who survived assuring them that he died like a hero and he did not shoot any passengers or himself.
Correction: Not a mistake, nor really trivia.
Corrected entry: In the scene where the pirates are raiding the Governor's house and a pirate goes after Elizabeth, she tries to fight back by dumping the hot coals from her bed warmer to burn the pirate. He then says "It burns." Since he is cursed, wouldn't he not be able to feel the heat from the coals?
Correction: It's likely that he did feel the heat from the coals. As has already been mentioned his wooden eye was irritating him a lot making it seem like part of the curse was that they shall never feel pleasure but still feel pain.

Chicago (2002)
Corrected entry: During the Cell Block Tango number, Velma says 'Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out. I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead.' Since she washed the blood off her hands at the theatre, and was supposedly 'blacked out' prior to that, why would she assume the blood was from her husband and sister? I know this was her defense, but it's just so transparent I can't imagine anyone buying it.
Correction: It is feasible that when she was washing off the blood from her hands she remembered what she had done, it's a defence which has been used in real cases before.

Pleasantville (1998)
Corrected entry: Cheeseburgers were unknown in Pleasantville before Jennifer's and David's entrance. How come Skip ordered one on his first date with Mary-Sue? (00:28:30)
14th Jul 2003
Pleasantville (1998)
Corrected entry: When Bud shows the art book to Bill, he is looking through it on the counter. After a lot of close-ups of turning pages they end up sitting at a table. (00:59:45)
Correction: It's a big book full of pages, it's entirely feasible that they got up and mooved into a more comfortable position, there is no suggestion that the opening to the closing of the book is in real time.
5th Jul 2003
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Rose's hand sticks to Jack's hand at the end because of how cold it is, so why didn't other things stick, like the whistle to the man's mouth or Rose to the wood or Jack to the wood or Jacks cuffs to his wrist?
28th Nov 2002
Friends (1994)
Corrected entry: In TOW, the list Monica says that she is allergic to cat hair. In TOW Ross Finds Out we find out that Monica used to have a cat named Fluffy Meowington. To me that sounds like an animal with a lot of cat hair.
