Corrected entry: When RoboCop is damaged, he only needs 3 people and a little girl to carry him, yet in RoboCop 2 it took 8 men to carry him. Did RoboCop lose weight? (00:41:01)

Robocop (1987)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is in the police research room he takes out his spike and turns to put it into the computer. As he turns, the hand moves towards the camera in a completely impossible way, given that his arms are hinged like normal arms - try and replicate that move and you'd do yourself an injury. (00:51:13)
Correction: At no point in the movie are we told that Robo's arms are hinged like normal arms. I believe that a robot should be able to turn his hand completely around. If this is a mistake than the fact that Robo stores his gun in his leg is also a mistake because given that his legs are built like normal legs - try and replicate that and you'd do yourself an injury. Paul Verhoven acknowledged they intended to turn the arm the other way, but there's no reason it couldn't work both ways.

Wayne's World 2 (1993)
Corrected entry: When Wayne and Garth are in England talking to Del Preston, Del tells them that he had the same dream about Jim Morrison that Wayne had. Garth looked amazed and agreed with everything. Yet later in the film, Garth says he doesn't believe Wayne about the dream. He was there when Del said he had the dream too, and he believed it then, why change his mind now?
Correction: Garth does not say he doesn't believe Wayne, he just asks Wayne to stop telling everyone about the dream because people are starting to think he's weird.

Robocop (1987)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop and ED-209 are fighting, they are outside Dick's office, on the same floor of the building. ED-209's grenades are firing away from Dick's office, towards RoboCop, but when Dick is on the phone we can see explosions from behind Dick. There is no way these can be ED-209's, so someone else must be trying to blow up the building. (01:09:37)
Correction: If you watch the battle closely you'll notice that the battle actually continues in a hallway next to Dick Jones' office and NOT in the hallway that leads to his office. When ED-209 fires a rocket at Robocop, he moves out of the way and the rocket explodes by a window. This is how Dick Jones was able to see the explosion.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Corrected entry: Rimmer says that if he brought the past Rimmer back, there would be two Rimmers in the future. However he already make 2 Rimmers in the previous series in the episode "Me²", and he hated the fact, so why would he suggest that idea again?
Correction: Actually, Rimmer wanted to bring his past self back in statis as if he did so, he would survive the radiation leak and would not be a hologram.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: Both Rimmer and Lister go through a door on the left hand side of the drive room which wasn't there in the previous episode, "The End".
Correction: I believe there was a door - it was the entrance to the Captain's office.

Ice Age (2002)
Corrected entry: At the end of the film, we see the little boy's father laying a necklace on what appears to be a makeshift grave for him, as the father thinks the little boy is dead. Why don't we see another makeshift grave for the man's wife, who really is dead? Did he forget about her? If he did make one for her, but was somewhere else, then why didn't he put the two beside each other, instead of them having separate graves?
Correction: It isn't necessarily a makeshift grave, he's just laying down the necklace in the snow to show that he's given up his search for his son.

Wayne's World 2 (1993)
Corrected entry: Why was Garth nodding frantically when Del is telling himself and Wayne about the Jim Morrison dream. He was just told that Wayne had a dream, he didn't know the exact details of the dream, so why is he nodding as if he does?
Correction: A lot of time had passed since Wayne had first told Garth of the dream, he could have told him the details later, like on the long plane ride from Chicago to London.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: All of Kryten's spare heads are supposed to have different personalities to the original Kryten head, but they all have the same one in this episode.
Correction: The personality depends upon the RAM chip that is in the head. Lister says that the RAM chip remains intact and therefore, they swap RAM chips when they change heads.
25th Jan 2004
Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: Lister says The Cat has never met a real woman before, but he has. The episodes 'Parallel Universe' and 'Stasis Leak' had women in them.
Correction: He did not actually 'meet' those women properly. He only saw them.
25th Jan 2004
Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: Lister does not seem to know much about his childhood, as he tells several contradicting stories about it. In series 2 Lister talks about how upset he was when his father died in the episode "Better Than Life". It is possible that he was talking about a foster father when he said this, but we learn in the episode "Ouroboros" in series 7 that he was abandoned, and never knew his parents at all. He also said in series 7 that he lived with his granny too, which leaves the question that if he knew his own granny, then why didn't he know who his parents were? Three different stories of his childhood.
Correction: We established that Lister was abandoned in Series 3 in 'The Last Day'. Therefore we can assume that everyone in his family that he talks about being alive are his foster family and their relatives.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: How were the Nanobots able to resurrect the crew exactly? We were told in series 7 that the Nanobots take one organism, rearrange its atoms and forms a new object with them, so what did the Nanobots use to make 1167 human beings?
Correction: From memory the nanobots take matter and turn it into other matter. Hence they can take the planetoid which was previously Red Dwarf, and turn it back into Red Dwarf plus crew, by simply missing out (unnecessary) bits from the ship.

Robocop (1987)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is being tested at the shooting gallery, he twirls his gun. This is an action performed by Murphy when he was alive, and this is done purely to help Lewis realise that RoboCop is Murphy. But this action was not programmed into RoboCop, it was something done by Murphy himself, so shouldn't Bob Morton be worried that his machine was displaying behaviour it was not programmed with?
Correction: It is at all possible that Bob is too pleased with the way that Robocop is performing, and wouldn't care; or maybe he thinks that "improvements" have been made to Robocop's systems.

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Corrected entry: Carver gives off the impression that he is a very intelligent man, (as most megalomaniacs do), yes he is not smart enough to run out of the way when a huge drill is coming towards him. Bond punches him and leaves him to die, yet theres nothing stopping him from taking 2 steps to the right and avoiding the drill, which is several feet in front of him when Bond leaves. He just stands there and screams like a child, letting it kill him.
Correction: He was probably in shock, and froze.
8th Dec 2003
Robocop 3 (1993)
Corrected entry: In this film, RoboCop can't open fire on the rehabs or McDaggett as they are employees of OCP. Yet he was perfectly able to beat up Officer Duffy, an employee of OCP, in RoboCop 2.
Correction: While he cannot fire, the directive probably doesn't apply to him using his fists to assault Officer Duffy. Or maybe the directive doesn't apply to Detriot Police Officers...

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
Corrected entry: Bill Murray did not reprise his role as Bosley in this film because of a massive fallout with Lucy Liu during the filming of the first film. He vowed that he would never work with her again.
Correction: On "Access Hollywood" Bill Murray admitted that he and Lucy had had a fight, but it was over some of her lines in the script and they made up shortly after. The real reason he wasn't in the sequel was because he hadn't got along with someone behind the scenes and vowed never to work with that person again, not Lucy.
26th Dec 2003
Robocop 3 (1993)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop looks at the computer in the police station, he views a file of all the suspected homeless people who are trying to avoid OCP. Later, he meets Nikko, and then discovers that her parents are dead, recalling their pictures on the computer screen. But how did he know that they were Nikko's parents? He had never seen or met them before. They could have been anybody.

Robocop (1987)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is being built we are told that the team were able to save the left arm. When this idea is scrapped and the replacement arm is brought in, we see a right arm. (00:26:04)
Correction: The arm they bring in is NOT a replacement for his left side. Murphy has just had his right arm and shoulder shot off, so it would make sense that the first prototype arm they build would be for his right side.
25th Jan 2004
Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: When Lister looks in on the new group of people playing the Red Dwarf game, the scene that they are in is much too far into the show, given that they have only been playing for about 20 minutes. Really Lister should have been watching the new crew's version of 'The End'.
Correction: This was probably to show how bad the crew was at playing the game. The new guys took 20 minutes to do what the others took years to do.
15th Jul 2003
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
Corrected entry: In several shots in the film the 'Bell System' logo on Charlie's speaker disappears and reappears. (00:27:35 - 01:18:00)
Correction: This is just because the cameraman alters the zoom between shots - when he's zoomed in, the logo gets cropped. It is a common technique to change zoom during dialogue to make the shot more animated (although it's a bit pointless to do it when one of the protagonists is a speaker).

Correction: In Robocop 2, the 8 police officers have to hold Robocop with their jackets because he is hot from just being electrocuted, making it harder to carry him than if they were carrying him with their bare hands.
