Corrected entry: It shows the three toilet cleaners standing motionless - the one on the left is standing backwards. In the next shot, he is now facing forwards and still motionless. (00:01:55)

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: The show Spongebob Squarepants was originally made for adults.
Correction: This is just a plain lie and started as an Internet rumor. The story behind the rumor was Spongebob Square Pants was originally going to air on Adult Swim. However, Spongebob debuted on Nickelodeon in 1999 and Adult Swim wasn't even created until 2001. Additionally, creator Stephen Hillenburg already worked with Nickelodeon on a previous children's show and always wanted to continue working with Nickelodeon.

Community (2009)
Corrected entry: During Jeff and the coach's pool game, Jeff starts off sinking bigs, then switches to smalls, then back to bigs throughout the game.
Correction: On the break a striped ("bigs") ball goes in, however we see Jeff shoot solids throughout the rest of the game. It is the coach who is shooting the striped balls, not Jeff.

Pixels (2015)
Corrected entry: Duck hunt was front and center in this movie but was not released until '84.
Correction: Duck Hunt was only release on the NES platform in 1984. However, it was part of Nintendo's Laser Clay Shooting System and released in 1976.

Volunteers (1985)
Corrected entry: When Tom Hanks is rescuing Rita Wilson from the bad guys, she is in a pink dress and pink high heeled shoes. When he picks her up and puts her over his shoulder, she is barefoot. Camera cuts to a new angle and her shoes are back on. Camera cuts again and her shoes are missing. Shoes keep appearing and disappearing until they exit the scene. (01:22:35)
Correction: Rita Wilson just has one high heel on her right foot when rescued. Before she's picked up, we see Tim Thomerson come in and her left foot is bare. When Tom Hanks picks her up, her left foot is still bare and her right foot still had the shoe on, and it's this way the whole time she's being carried.

Grand Theft Auto V
Corrected entry: Mr. Phillips: When Trevor, Ron and Wade are chasing down the van and the two bikers in Trevor's truck, Trevor will at one point say, "We can't fuck with the van, but we can drop those bikers." However, if the two bikers are killed before Trevor even says the line, Trevor will still stay "We can't fuck with the van, but we can drop those bikers", despite the bikers already being dead. Trevor can still say this line even with only one of the bikers dead, and it still would make no sense because he says "bikers" in the line, referring to two people.
Correction: In all 3 situation, the phrase "we can drop those bikers" makes sense. Either in the future sense where they have the option and ability is to kill the bikers. This is like saying "the road to the right is blocked, but 'we can' go left." Or in the past tense where "we can" is used in slang to indicate they were able to kill the bikers. This would be like saying of a baseball player "he's not fast, but 'he can' hit!" If only one biker is killed, "we can" would mean the outcome of killing a biker was uncertain, but then confirmed, so they can proceed to kill the bikers.
20th Aug 2008
Mallrats (1995)
Corrected entry: When Ben Affleck is beating up Brody, he calls him by his real name, Ben.
Correction: He calls him "Bruce". He's just addressing him by his last name.
10th Jun 2004
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: Spongebob Squarepants was originally named Spongeboy.
Correction: While Hillenburg did draw a similar character he gave the name Spongeboy to, it was never considered for use in the show and not relevant trivia. There already existed a product using the name Spongeboy.
But it was still the original idea for the show.
No, it was two separate ideas.
28th Jul 2007
For Richer or Poorer (1997)
Corrected entry: When the judge's robes catch on fire, Brad throws the wine to put the fire out. He uses a wine glass. But at the end of the scene when the judge storms off, Brad is now holding a martini glass with no time to switch it. (00:07:15)
Correction: It's the same wine glass. At the end the glass is tilted toward the camera so the flared side of the glass could be confused for a wide brim, but it's not.
9th Apr 2014
Sabotage (2014)
Corrected entry: If the team blows up the rest of the money, how did anyone know that $10,000,000 was missing?
Correction: They made this clear in the beginning; the FBI was carrying on a parallel investigation and they knew $200 million was suppose to be there. There seemed to be missing money, making it look like a setup. The whole point of the 6-month investigation was to determine if there was a setup.
29th Mar 2015
How I Met Your Mother (2005)
Corrected entry: When Barney invites Lily to his house Lily says he called her at 7:22 am, but when the camera shows Lily it shows 19:47, which means 7:47 pm, not am. (00:02:25 - 00:09:30)
16th Jul 2015
The Sopranos (1999)
Marco Polo - S5-E8
Corrected entry: At the party, Carmella tells Tony B. to film the food tables before they get pillaged. She calls him Stevie, his real name.
Correction: She uses his initials. She said "Tony B, make sure you shoot the food table."
15th Nov 2006
Over the Hedge (2006)
Corrected entry: When Hammy has drunk the drink with extra caffeine, time seems to stop, and he places a gnome right under the Exterminator's foot. But when time resumes again, the Exterminator's foot is on the ground and the gnome is a couple of feet behind him.
5th Mar 2015
Sons of Anarchy (2008)
The Mad King - S6-E5
Corrected entry: At the end of this episode, Tara is in bed with Abel and Thomas. Abel starts crying and Tara leaves the room with Thomas. The subtitle says "Thomas crying."
Correction: Abel is not the one who is crying. Abel was trying to sleep, although we do see him rub his face. It was in fact Thomas, the baby, crying. This is why Tara leaves the room in the first place, so Thomas's crying doesn't wake up Abel. We know it's Thomas crying because he cries at the very end too, when outside, and it's the same crying we heard earlier, with the subtitle "Thomas crying" once again.
11th Mar 2015
Sons of Anarchy (2008)
Corrected entry: When Jax is driving him and Gemma back from the county jail, Jax holds Gemma's hand in the car. The position of the transmission shifter is in the forward position - 'Park', showing the car is on a trailer for filming. (00:20:10)
Correction: There is no way to tell the shifter is in 'Park' since only the top part is seen/showing. This is just a guess. Although, from the looks of the top of the shifter, being aligned with the steering wheel and not further over to the right, it looks to be in 'Drive'.
22nd Jan 2015
Student Bodies (1981)
Corrected entry: Barring Joe Flood (Mr Dumpkin), Oscar James (the football coach), Mimi Wedell (Miss Mumsley) and Cullen Chambers (Charles) none of the other actors in Student Bodies (most notably the lead actress Kristen Ritter) acted in another film.
Correction: While a majority of the cast did not act in other films, 9 of the actors (not including the 4 you mentioned) did act in at least one other film afterwards. Additionally, 1 other actor was in a film prior and 1 other actor has been in a couple shorts since.
9th Apr 2015
Slaughter High (1986)
Corrected entry: This film was the only film most of the cast acted in, with the exception of Marc Smith (The Coach) who did a lot of other films.
8th Nov 2004
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Jellyfishing / Plankton! - S1-E3
Corrected entry: In Plankton, when Plankton is taking over SpongeBob's mind, you see that he goes through the fridge with food on his head, but in the next shot, it's gone.
Correction: While the food is gone in the next shot, the shot isn't meant to be continuous. After he walks through the fridge he's in a completely different room about to step into his pants. He had plenty of time to shake the food off, or for it to fall off, between shots.
9th Jul 2008
Monster House (2006)
Corrected entry: Near the end where Neburcracker hands DJ the dynamite, he doesn't hand him a match. A few shots later DJ has a match in his hand.
Correction: As you say, a few shots later he has the match. We see when he pulls the dynamite out that he had it tucked away in his sling. He could have kept the matches there as well and had plenty of time between shots to grab one. We even see when he falls several matches fall to the ground, so he definitely had plenty of matches on him in easy access.
7th Jan 2008
Monster House (2006)
Corrected entry: In the last scene, we see DJ and Chowder running off to go trick-or-treating. As the camera view zooms out, we see a column of smoke rising up from the ruins of Nebbercracker's house. A logical explanation for this would be the chimney of Nebbercracker's house. However, the house has been blown to smitherines in the previous few scenes.
Correction: The smoke is never rising out from a chimney, but the hole in the ground. We see the smoke rising after the house is destroyed in the empty lot, and the smoke is still rising when the neighborhood kids are getting their toys back.

Correction: They were not motionless, we see the guy with his back turn move a bit. Plus, the one with the eyepatch speaks. But it's not unreasonable to think the guy would turn around after being recognized, and there was plenty of time for him to turn around while off camera.
