Mysterious malfunctions in miscellany - Slide 3

It's back.

Bigger and better than ever.

22 Jump Street
Paragraphs in coroner's report kick ass.

Third begins: Cynthia Watson, suspected dealer of narcotic "WHYPHY". A new drug combination of adderall, ecstasy and other active and inert ingredients. Etc etc.
First begins: Cynthia Watson, person of interest, deceased, suspected dealer of narcotic "WHYPHY". WHYPHY is a new drug, a combination of adderall, ecstasy and other active and inert ingredients. Etc etc.
Employing tactic of copying, pasting and inserting new bollocks? Very odd.

Final sentence of third: MCPD has surveillance of Cynthia Watson receiving drugs from an unknown person suspected as being a dealer of WHYPHY. Identify, and infiltrate the dealer to find the supplier.
Second paragraph (in full): MCPD has surveillance of Cynthia Watson receiving drugs from an unknown person suspected as being a dealer of WHYPHY. This drug must not be allowed to leave campus. Identify, and infiltrate the dealer to find the supplier.
HEAD FUCK!

Mercifully, this is much simpler.

Death Sentence
Jump to second column and note sentence beginning with 'Although the surface'.
Final sentence of third column below photo of Kevin Bacon's Nick Hume begins with 'Although the surface' etc etc.

I think we'll leave it there.
More from James Wan's revenge thriller.

In this shot, parking bay number is completely covered.
But shortly after, it's not.
Split

Subject in email from Barry S is We need you.
A click later, it's No Subject.
Terminator Vault is 'the complete story behind the making of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Spelling any actor's surname should be simple.

But not in the case of Mr Lance Henriksen.

Henricksen
Henrickson
Final chance.

Henriksen
Not bad for a... human.

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)
Months begin with a capital whatever, but unlike June, march begs to differ. 
Batman (1989)
As aerosol doesn't belong to anything, deodorant's shouldn't have an apostrophe.
Also, Batman earlier told Vicki to avoid hairspray mixed with lipstick and perfume, making all other said combinations absolute BULLSHIT.
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

Freddys on child's creepy pavement scrawl should be Freddy's.
No such problem in this scene.

Sorry Carlos, but YOU'RE FUCKED.
The Wrestler
Randy receives a letter and cash from his promoter.
Your should be you're - the contraction of you and are.
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart

Unless I'm missing something, space-shy song is grammatically incorrect.
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
The common abbreviation of 'average' is avg.

Not here.
Come on, let's ave it.
New Year's Evil
Opening titles spell co-producer's first name as Yorum, but should be Yoram.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Nancy's mum signs consent for daughter to receive medical treatment, but ignores simple instructions of circling either 'parent' or 'guardian'.
(Jesus, couldn't you let that one go?)

Let me think.  No.

Freddy vs Jason
'Please call' if anybody has seen any of these missing children, apart from the two little sods 'squared', as you only can 'call' on given number. 
Samurai Cop has to be seen to be believed.

Trust me, it's fucking amazing, and rightly cleaned up at the Oscars.

Goodie and baddie are miles apart.
Then get a little bit closer.
And inexplicably, in the next shot.

They're suddenly right next to each other.
Fabulous editing there.

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie

Thunder Hawk is only ever referred to as T. Hawk.
Now it gets worse.

D.J and not Dee Jay?
It makes structu even more fucked up.
We may call him Honda, but he was born E. Honda.
Ken's Porsche raises a geeky eyebrow.

Please note wash on licence plate.
Cos' in the next shot, word is written in bold.
This may or not be famous.

The Lost Boys
Ignoring Dianne Wiest - who's the bird?
Credits state 80s icon Molly Ringwald from The Breakfast Club.
Still is actually from Sixteen Candles.

More credits cock-ups.

House of the Dead
Original game © 2000 Sega Corporation
First game was called The House of the Dead and released in 1996.
To add further fuel to fucked up fire, no game came in 2000.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
3rd Asssistant Director.
The Untouchables
Vesti la Giubba from Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci is misspelled Vesti la Guibba.
I (and you) will love this one.

Halloween: H20 20 Years Later
Dr. Loomis treated Michael Meyers over his distinguished career.
And there was me thinking that Laurie Strode's psychotic, and seemingly invincible brother was called Michael Myers.
Whisper it loudly, but plot of The Evil Dead is strikingly similar to micro-budget 1970 film Equinox.

Anyway, Fede Álvarez reimagined Sam Raimi's classic in 2013.

Back cover of box art reminds cult-hit horror was made in 1981.
Featurette Unleashing The Evil Force once again states 1981.
But.

The Evil Dead. © MCMLXXXII. Renaissance Pictures Ltd.
So according to roman numerals, the ultimate experience in grueling horror was released in 1982.
Oh my GOD!

Netflix break.

F is for Family S2 E1 - Heavy Sledding
January 16, 1974 was on a Wednesday, not Thursday.
My girls love Riverdale.  I don't.
I think there's something wrong with High School's Independant Student Newspaper.
Can't think what?

Silent Hill (film)

Silent is a town, NOT a city.
Well fix my broken lock.
In Konami's 1999 PS1 original, Cybil Bennett tells protagonist Harry Mason she's from Brahms (possible reference to German composer).
Who knows if done on purpose, but...

Christophe Gans changed next town over to Brahams
Why?

Cover art and taglines

The Complex
Hideo Nakata
 directed Ring, not The Ring.

For fuck's sake! Do some basic research.
Gore Verbinski remade and retitled Nakata's 1998 film as The Ring in 2002, changing villain's name from Sadako Yamamura to Samara Morgan.
Check out slogans for Zombie Resurrection, Timber Falls and Apocalypse of the Dead.

Prey for salvation
Prey for the missing....
Prey for the living
In this context, prey makes absolutely no fucking sense.

(Pray tell, what would?)

Hey, I'm the one who makes the clever puns around here.

(Sorry).

What's this?

Killer Tomatoes Strike Back
When good vegetables go bad!
Err, tomatoes are a fruit.

Best of all.

Confined
Take a look at circled word.
Adandoned is yet to grace any self-respecting dictionary.

Hmmm.

Seriously - WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

HA HA HA!

As mistake is so amazing, I took the liberty of snapping a physical copy.


Amusingly, back cover does what front couldn't.

Yep, 'abandoned' is spot on.
Until next time.
