Movie Mistakes? -TMNT


I've just found a website called "moviemistakes.com", it finds out all kinds of mistakes from movies, that seems interesting. Below are mistakes from TMNT (2007)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Factual error: Splinter's ear does not ever reveal his injury incurred from his first encounter with The Shredder where the top half of his left ear was cut off.

Continuity: In the scene where Jones is hauling in general Agilus he knocks over a vase, when the camera returns to show April rubbing her forehead the box with the general is missing and neither April nor Jones has moved.

Factual error: In the scene at April's apartment after Raphael is wounded, Donny pulls the blade out of Raph's shell and hands it to April. When she examines it, she says that the general became immortal through the stars of Kikan and his generals were turned to stone and that he lived for eternities in regret to revive his brotherhood. The stone should not have spoken of the myth since the general was frozen in stone for 3000 years.

Plot hole: Leo was captured as the 13th monster with 4 foot soldiers present. They heard the generals talking about how Winters won't know the difference. Winters should have been informed about Leo from Karai as she stated the foot work for Winters. Karai seems to know the turtles history and the foot report to her.

● Factual error: Splinter's ear does not ever reveal his injury incurred from his first encounter with The Shredder where the top half of his left ear was cut off.

Since the movie is only loosely based on the live action movies (even in interviews Kevin Monroe stops short of saying the movie is a true direct sequel to the first movies), there is no real need to reference Splinter's injury in the current film.
Unless you truly believe TMNT is an absolute one-to-one direct sequel to the live action movies.

I don't believe April is reading something from the stone itself, in fact it appears as if she is simply putting two and two together, after being told by Casey that the statue she gave to Winters had come to life and attacked them, she then begins to recollect a local legend used to scare children, remember as she begins to tell the story she say's "they say" not "it says" as if she was reading from the stone.

As for the plot hole about Winters, it's definately doesn't make since for the generals to be giving their plan away to the Foot ninjas, but it could very well be a directorial mistake that they were talking in earshot of the ninjas as opposed to a plothole in the actual script.

For Splinter and the General/Foot mistakes you can make a sound case for them being genuine movie mistakes, but in the case of April's "factual error" movie mistakes makes a mistake.
