'Mistakes' You've Found, Only To Find Out They Weren't Mistakes

Tremas

Saw this while re-watching 2010....
When Max and Curnow enter the DISCOVERY, an EVA pod is sitting in the docking bay; since there were three in there from 2001 and all were (presumed) lost (one ran Poole over, one was left outside when Bowman re-entered after HAL locked him out, and one was used by Bowman to enter the Monolith) I thought "AHA!"

But, a quick read of IMDB brought forth this:
No pods should be in the pod bay in 2010. The original film showed 3 pods. All were lost. The first was lost with Poole's body. The second was lost when Bowman blew the exploding bolts to enter the airlock. The third transported Bowman into the worm hole/monolith. When the crew enters the pod bay in 2010, one pod is is still sitting in it's storage area. (Although ignored in the movie, this is explained in the book (section4, chapter 24). Dave Bowman is supposed to have retrieved pod #3 on remote while preparing his departure.)

What did you find, that you thought was a mistake, only to find out that it really wasn't?

Wouldn't it have been nice if they'd mentioned that part in the movie? It wouldn't have taken long to explain but I guess they didn't plan on folks scrutinizing things lol.

The one I remember most is the case of the missing vest on Han in the carbonite chamber in ESB. T-bone's Star Wars Universe - The Trash Compactor - Han's Missing Vest

Oooo I loved that movie. I like the sequel where they got ass raped in prison better though.

I found there was a "mistake" now running this forum. Turns out the bit that should have been used ran down the crack of his momskis ass and left a dirty stain on the mattress.
