Corrected entry: In the sequence where the Navi try to upload Grace's human body to a Navi, you see Jake looking down on the two bodies. But in the next shot, he suddenly turns into Norm Spellman's avatar. (01:54:45)

Corrected entry: It is established that Jake's voice-over narration of the film is actually his video logs. After he escapes from Hell's Gate, he continues to narrate. However, Jake would have no reason to continue making video logs at this point. It was one of his video logs that ultimately betrayed the Na'vi, and the camera used to make the logs was in the shack without the link beds, which was left behind when they airlifted the other shack.

Other mistake: While flying the helicopters, notice that the human pilots are not wearing protective masks in an open cockpit with the cargo doors wide open as the Avatars are either hanging out of, or staining to see past the pilots.

Suggested correction: This has been submitted and corrected three separate times. The cockpit is sealed off from the outside.
Baloney. The movie made several egregious errors involving the use of masks. In several scenes you see them not wearing masks in human form including going into the lab at the floating mountains. Everyone including Trudy should have been dead within minutes.

Corrected entry: On the second trip to the planet Pandora using the helicopter, Jake and his folks are heading to the abandoned lab in the jungle, therefore they're still in human forms. As the shot gets the helicopter in the center getting also the trees and other details of the forest aside, you'll see two big blue humanoids (Avatars) sitting on the back of the helicopter.

Corrected entry: In the very last few seconds of the film where the female avatar places her hand on Jake's avatar's sleeping face, her hand is human and not avatar blue.

Corrected entry: The helicopter has men on the guns with masks yet the female pilot does not. Even when escaping with the scientists she turns around and says where to get the medical kit and doesn't have a mask on while the other humans do.
Correction: This is two separate mistakes, both of which can be explained. It has already been corrected that the helicopters have a sheet of glass seperating the cockpit from the rest of the copter, so Trudy is breathing human air. As for her copter not having a gunner, this is not a mistake. When the copters are bombing Hometree, Trudy, with her side gunner in tow leave the battle, saying "I didn't sign up for this shit." When Trudy went rouge with the rest of our heroes, her gunner didn't come with her, which is why Trudy flies solo in the final battle.
Wrong, there is no separation between the pilot and the cargo bay. Moreover the doctor, Sully and the lab rat are not wearing masks while the cargo door is not open. This is a major inexcusable error. Only "fictitious" excuse is that there is oxygen above a certain level with denser gases towards the surface. Otherwise this is indeed a major movie blunder.
What is the claim that "there is no separation between the pilot and the cargo bay" based on? Pilots are never wearing masks in any of the ships, so very obviously there is a barrier.

Corrected entry: When Jake is giving his Braveheart speech, from behind he appears to have four fingers instead of three.

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, Norm appears to be standing holding a gun, but then seconds later his avatar is the background of the next shot. How can he be standing there next to his avatar, when his avatar had been shot dead?

Correction: That's because that is Norm Spellman's avatar. He is standing next to Jake.
