                YOU GOOD AT spotting movie mistakes? You may have seen some 
                of these, but we bet you haven't caught them all. 
 ...  In 
                  Gladiator, Maximus (Russell Crowe) mentions the name 
                  of Marc Anthony to Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). Commodus comments, 
                  "Marc Anthony? I hate that song of his, 'I Need to Know.'" 
                  In fact, the real Commodus would have loved "I Need to 
                  Know" because of its passion and warmth. 
 ...  In 
                  The Sixth Sense (stop reading now if you haven't seen 
                  it!), Bruce Willis plays Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist 
                  who is killed in the beginning of the film. His spirit remains 
                  on the earthly plane for a number of months after his death 
                  and interacts with a troubled child. Actually, there's no such 
                  thing as ghosts! 
 ...  In 
                  Sleepy Hollow, Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci) first 
                  meets Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) while she is blindfolded during 
                  a party game. On removing her blindfold, she stares at Crane 
                  and remarks, "God, you look exactly, I mean exactly, like 
                  that guy from Edward Scissorhands." But Ichabod 
                  Crane's hair is very different from Edward Scissorhands. 
 ...  In 
                  The World is Not Enough, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) 
                  answers a phone, listens to the caller, and then hangs up, saying 
                  to Bond, "He's struck again." Nobody would be so rude 
                  as to hang up without saying goodbye! 
 ...  In 
                  The Bone Collector, there is a scene on a city block. 
                  Although the film is supposed to take place in modern times, 
                  you can clearly see a 1988 Toyota Cressida driving down the 
                  street! 
 ...  In 
                  Braveheart, Mel Gibson's character, William Wallace, 
                  learns of the hideous death awaiting him. He bravely jokes that 
                  it can't be a worse torture than "reading O Magazine." 
                  In fact, O: The Oprah Magazine has inspired millions on the 
                  path to self-improvement, and reading it is almost always preferable 
                  to being drawn and quartered. 
 ...  In 
                  Mansfield Park, based on a novel by Jane Austen published 
                  in 1814, Fanny Price (Frances O'Connor) is seen entering an 
                  address into her Palm IIIx, using a stylus that looks like it 
                  holds a machine-made steel pen point. This kind of nib wasn't 
                  invented until 1828! 
 ...  In 
                  Titanic, there is a reflection in the dining room's glass 
                  door of a clearly visible camera crew. Look closelydirector 
                  James Cameron is wearing brown shoes with a blue suit! 
 ...  The 
                  print ads for Love Stinks said that it was "The 
                  date movie of the year." In fact, The Thomas Crown Affair 
                  was the date movie of 1999!
