I was watching SUPERMAN II the other day. While it is one my favorite superhero movies ever, I was a little shocked at how many inconsistencies there are in it in respect to the original SUPERMAN. The one that really pisses me off is Zod's speech at the beginning of II. "You will lie down before me, Jor-El. Both you and then one day, Jor-El. Jor-El!" which was changed from his speech in the original with "You will bow down before me, Jor-El. I swear it! No matter that it takes an eternity! You will bow down before me! Both you and then one day...your heirs!" Which got me to do some research and I found the following website:

Movie Mistakes.com (http://www.moviemistakes.com/)

So do you all like finding mistakes, inconsistencies and plot holes in movies? What are some of your favorite all time flubs?

I love this one from Reservoir Dogs: 'In the torture scene, Mr Blonde turns the radio on and listens to "Stuck in the Middle with You" as he proceeds to torture the cop. Mr Orange shoots him before Mr Blonde turns the radio off, but somehow the radio is never heard again in the film' :cool:

I love this site, it's always interesting to read about the mistakes. The descriptions are far more in-depth and detailed than the ones in the IMDb "goofs" section. The Matrix is a personal favourite page of mine, as there are such big errors in it, it's quite odd.

In Forrest Gump, when Forrest is talking to Jenny's grave he says "You died on a Saturday." The date on the gravse was a monday.

ok, spoilers for Invasion of the Body Snatchers:

It's revealed that the pod people are shape-shifting psychic aliens, that steal people's minds while they sleep, and pop out of their pods.

But the last new alien we see is when the female lead falls asleep for a split-second in front of the main character. But if they just take over existing bodies, why do they need the blank bodies in the pods?

Supposedly there's a similar unclarity in the villians' modus operandi in the new Stepford Wives.
