The Flub Report: Revealing What's Hidden

Claim: "Near the beginning of the film when Cal gets out of the car at Southampton dock, the scaffolding that is supporting the "Titanic" is clearly visible in the distance behind him."
I thought I had watched Titanic closely, but I hadn't realized this before. And now that I know this flub is there, it seems very blatant. I flopped a picture from behind the scenes so it would show Titanic just like it is on screen for Exhibit A:

When you look past Cal as he steps out of the car, you can see it matches the scaffolding in Exhibit A.

Exhibit B:

Exhibit C:

This one is true.

Claim: "When Rose is about to jump off the ship, you can see Kate Winslet has a tattoo on her arm."
In a cut scene just before Rose's suicide attempt she rips off her necklace, takes down her hair, breaks her handmirror, and rips part of her dress. There is, indeed, a moon-like shape on her arm, but this is simply not a tattoo. Later in the movie we see this same arm when she disrobes for Jack and when they are in the Renault.

See the "tattoo" in Exhibit D:

See the lack of a "tattoo" in Exhibit E:

While commonly cited, this is not a true flub.
