Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
When Huck and the bratty blonde girl are talking about England, the girl says that George IV is the king. George IV reigned from 1820-1830, but the story of Huckleberry Finn is thought to take place in the 1830's or 1840's, not as early as the 1820s. [It's only a mistake if the movie is not set in the 1820s. The books setting could well be slightly different.]
When The Duke sees the dead Mr. Wilks in the coffin the deceased's mouth is wide open. The Duke closes it without any effort, as if there were no such thing as rigor mortis. [Rigor mortis usually lasts between one and three days, so depending on how long Mr. Wilkes had been dead, it might have already passed.]
