Corrected entry: When Connor decapitates the guy in the parking lot of the wrestling arena, you can notice it's a dummy.

Ghostbusters (1984)
Corrected entry: After Dana and Louis break the gargoyles their hair is clean, but when they get to the lower floor their hair has foam in it.
Correction: Very true. It has though been corrected multiple times already, because it's quite easy for them to have got some of the marshmallow muck (or 'foam' as you correctly call it since it's obvious shave foam) on themselves being next to the Ghostbusters who were covered in it. I am not a big fan of "it might have happened offscreen" explanations, but this does seem in line with what is shown.

Dracula (1992)
Corrected entry: Drew Barrymore was considered for the role of Mina Harker.
Correction: This seems unlikely, given the film's adult content and Drew Barrymore's young age at the time, and the fact that Winona Ryder was selected for the role of Mina even before pre-production began: As stated on page 9 of the 1992 official behind the scenes book "Bram Stoker's Dracula: The Film and the Legend", she had read the screenplay and was interested in playing the role even before director Francis Ford Coppola became involved. She then gave the script to Coppola, who agreed to direct and to cast her in the role of Mina.
There's a few articles/sites that make this claim, although none seem original (like they're just repeating what's online) and there's no source cited. Another article says she auditioned, which is more likely. But just because she auditioned didn't mean she was "considered." Most of these trivia entries where they say "considered" usually don't mean the person was seriously in contention to get the role.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Corrected entry: Before Raven helps Nightcrawler to escape her hair is loose, then tied up.
Correction: Exactly. She is also "wearing" completely different clothes when her hair changes. She manipulated her appearance to appear in dress with her hair down. When she changes into the more everyday look with jeans and jacket, she changed her appearance to have her hair tied back. Keep in mind, she can manipulate her appearance at any given point, and very quickly.

Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, when Marty gets to the Doc's place he is wearing a watch, so he could easily know about the right hour in spite that the clocks are wrong.
Correction: 3 possibilities from the top of my head: 1. He wears the watch but never checks it, it's just a fashion statement for some people, next to that he just entered a home with a wall full of clocks, no need to check your watch as well. 2. The watch isn't working (it's digital). 3. The watch could be on the wrong time as well.

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
Corrected entry: The restaurant Nora's is a reference to Nora Shepherd from Jumanji.
Correction: Considering Nora herself is in the film, I think this is way too obvious to be considered trivia. The movie is very upfront about it being owned by and named after Nora.

The Terminator (1984)
Corrected entry: Instead of killing Sarah and Kyle in the street the T-800 runs away. He could easily fight the handful of police officers and finish his mission.
Correction: He's been damaged by the gunshots from Kyle, from being thrown off the moving car as they escaped, and from crashing the police car at high speed straight into a wall. He was also unarmed having lost both his weapons in the nightclub. The T-800 (at least in this film) is not totally indestructible. He obviously considered the risk of getting taken down by armed police officers in his current vulnerable state was too high. He knows the police will take her to the Station for her own safety. The best move for the T-800 was to retreat, repair and rearm himself then try again, which is exactly what he did.

Terminator Genisys (2015)
Corrected entry: After Pops is upgraded becoming a T-1000 he should be young as a new model but is still old.
Correction: A T-1000 (or any liquid metal terminator) is capable of changing its outer appearance. It makes sense that Pops would keep his appearance familiar to Sarah so she recognises him and doesn't immediately assume he is a different Terminator out to kill her.

Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: When Marty travels to 1955 it's about 1:35 am but when he is heading downtown the sun is rising.
Correction: If you look at the time readouts, Marty travels to Nov. 12, 1955 at around 6 am. What time it was at the moment didn't matter.

Meet the Robinsons (2007)
Corrected entry: Goob could not know how to use the time machine.
Correction: DOR-15 is a sentient AI. It could probably figure it out and let him know.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Corrected entry: While Tony is about to call Steve in Doctor Strange's place the reflection of the green screen is on the cell phone display.
Correction: For a fraction of a second, the screen of the phone reflects something dark green. There is nothing to indicate this is a green screen and not just an unseen part of the room. It is certainly not the bright, saturated green of a special effects green screen.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Corrected entry: The scars on Kylo's face have almost disappeared in this film without explanation.
Correction: His scar fades on screen when Rey heals him on the Death Star. As she heals the wound in his stomach, she also heals the wound she gave him the year before in The Force Awakens. It's an intentional detail.

The Dark Knight (2008)
Corrected entry: The way the Joker gets into the mafia capos meeting resembles the way Eric Draven did in The Crow.
Correction: I don't really think this constitutes trivia. Two scenes vaguely resembling each other isn't really all that interesting or notable. Plus, a character interrupting a meeting in such a manner is a pretty common trope used in a lot movies. I could probably name about a half-dozen other movies with similar scenes off the top of my head.
I agree. Without some correlation between the two films (same director, actor, etc), two similar scenes wouldn't be trivia.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Corrected entry: After Scott gets back from the quantum realm he leaves the warehouse without the van, but when he gets to the Avengers facility he has it.
Correction: After finding Cassie, he went back and got it since he needed to get to SHIELD HQ.
Correction: But Scott did not have money in order to get back the van.
How do you know? Being presumed dead, his money would probably have gone to Cassie, and he could have gotten from her what he needed. And that is assuming it would even take money. We don't know what the rules would have been given the situation, and it was his stuff. The storage locker may have been Cassie's in which case of course she could take stuff out, or authorized Scott to.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Corrected entry: In Tonsberg while Thor is drinking beer with Hulk and rocket, he holds the bottle with his left hand then his right.
Correction: He simply switches hands, more than three times at least. Can't see it happen all the time but there is plenty of time in all occasions for him to do it.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Corrected entry: It's impossible that Clint's cell phone is still functional after 5 years disconnected.
Correction: Why would it be disconnected - he was still alive. Just because he was running around acting as an avenging angel doesn't mean he would have his cell phone turned off. If you mean why was his wife's cell phone was functional, two things: 1) if she didn't have the phone when she vanished Clint might have repurposed the phone though not changing his address book, such as keeping it in the house as a spare, so didn't have it disconnected, but more likely 2) it was on autopay and Clint never had a reason to have it disconnected, so in the chaos that followed the vanishing it just stayed active. To add to the second, many people cling to things of lost ones in a way of pretending they really aren't gone, so may have kept it "alive" for that reason too.
Correction: Laura may have had her phone on her when she was snapped and it disappeared and returned with her.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Corrected entry: Grace could not know that Daniela was working in the car factory.
1st Feb 2020
Joker (2019)
Corrected entry: Every clock through the film is always showing 10:11.
Correction: Most of the clocks in the movie actually show 11:11 not 10:11 with the exception being the clock on "Live With Murray Franklin" towards the end which shows another time altogether (10:40).
10th Oct 2019
Joker (2019)
Corrected entry: In the subway Joker fires more than 6 bullets from his revolver.
Correction: He fires the gun. It then cuts away to show the third Wayne employee running through the train before cutting back to Arthur. He could have at least partially reloaded during that time.
Really? He's breathing heavily, stumbling. I understand that it is technically possible, but they show him getting up, hyperventilating, pointing the gun at the corpses and then at himself, and then picking up in a rush his bag; at no point he is shown collected enough to lead you to believe that he could have looked for the bullets and put them in the revolver.

Shazam! (2019)
Corrected entry: Zachary Levi is one of the few actors to span Marvel and DC movies - he played Fandral, one of the warriors three, in Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok.
Correction: While the number certainly isn't massive, I wouldn't say it just a few. There's over 50 actors that have spanned DC and Marvel.
Correction: Anyway, the point is that he has been in both companies.
Generally an actor's resume isn't trivia unless it somehow relates to the movie or character itself. Given that so many actors have done Marvel and DC, there's unique about it and there's nothing to connect the two characters.

Correction: In all honesty, I wouldn't consider this a mistake because the effect is VERY good, and there's nothing giving away the fact it's a dummy. (Other than the fact they wouldn't decapitate a real actor, of course.) It's appropriately gory, the dummy's movement is fluid and lifelike, and the dummy is very detailed and realistic. Even watching the scene frame-by-frame, it looks quite real. Like I said... nothing really gives away the fact it's a dummy, so I wouldn't call this a mistake.
