Corrected entry: When we see the entrance to Oscorp there's two flags being flown outside, the Stars and Stripes on the left and another flag displaying a crest on the right. The motto on the crest is Excelsior, the catchphrase of Spider-Man creator Stan Lee.

Dogma (1999)
Corrected entry: When Bartleby's wings are shot off he brushes two feathers from the top of his head... a few seconds later he stands up and brushes the same two feathers from his head again.
Correction: The feathers don't fall out in the first shot, he just brushes them towards the back of his head then the camera cuts away. The second brush removes them completely.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Corrected entry: When the Marines are chasing Chekov aboard the aircraft carrier, the sign "Escape Route" and an arrow can be seen stenciled in paint on the wall.
Correction: This is just a marking so sailors have visual clues on the best evacuation route in an emergency.

The Craft (1996)
Corrected entry: When Sarah runs crying into the toilet after Chris's death she slams the door shut. We then see a close up shot of the bolt sliding back and her three friends push the door open. But there is no holder for the bolt to slide out from and so the three witches could have simply pushed the door open without the bar sliding across!
Correction: They don't know there's nothing to hold the bolt in place, so as far as they know they need to slide the bolt to open the door.

Cool Runnings (1993)
Corrected entry: When they are in the motel in Calgary and when Ule Brenner answers the door in the back ground you can see that the little short guy (I can't think of his name) has a hat on. Then it goes to the person at the door ,then back to Ule with no hat on, then back to the door, then back to Ule with a hat on. It goes back to the door then Ule turns around and it shows him putting the hat on.
Correction: During the whole scene he's trying to decide how to wear the hat, hence it being off his head in one shot and on in the next. There's one continuous shot where it shows him wearing the hat with the peak forwards, then he takes the hat off and puts it back on with the peak backwards.

Cool Runnings (1993)
Corrected entry: The viewer can see the materials used to paint the bobsled (stencil, paint, brushes, etc.), but who did they find to pound out all the dents and smooth out the bumps in the body?
Correction: They either did it themselves or paid someone to do it. Just because it doesn't show this happening in the movie doesn't mean the sled miraculously reshaped itself.

Kicking and Screaming (2005)
Corrected entry: After Will Ferrell's long jump, the officials come up with a very short measurement by holding the tape at the edge of the landing zone, instead of measuring all the way back to the white line at the starting point.
Correction: The officials know the distance between the starting point and the landing zone, so they only need to measure the distance from the edge of the landing zone and add it to that distance.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: In the first movie actor Glenn Morshower plays Colonel Sharp, commander of the SOCCENT airbase that is destroyed by Blackout at the beginning, with no survivors(according to John Keller). In the second movie he plays General Morshower in command of of the NEST base. Apparently more than Transformers can come back to life.
Correction: Not a mistake by any stretch of the imagination. They're completely different characters who just happen to be played by the same person. What happens to one has no effect on the other.

Correction: The crest is the Seal of New York, which has the motto "Excelsior". It is not a reference to Stan Lee, the flag is flying because Oscorp is in New York City.
I didn't say it was a reference to Stan Lee, just that Stan Lee used it as his catchphrase.
