Factual error: As Ruben gets from his colleague the newspaper with the headline about the suppression of the 'douane', you can read just by his head "Mardi 17." It's 1986 as stated, and the date the news is referring to can only be February 17, when the Single European Act was signed, producing the headline shown. But it was not a Mardi (Tuesday), but a Lundi (Monday). (00:01:50)

Factual error: Quentin steals Adrenaline from an ER crash cart. That would be believable except, I am a nurse, my husband is a paramedic, my father in law is a doctor. Under NO circumstance is a crash cart to be left unattended, they are locked up when not in use. Also, Adrenaline would NOT be in a cart like that, that medicine is locked up. ER crash carts, like what was used in the movie, would only have had a defibrillator, gel for the defibrillator pads, gauze, dressing and first aid supplies, nothing more.

A moment later, he responds to the hailing signal saying that they are now 420,000 kilometres from Earth. Considering that the distance between Earth and the Moon is about 385,000km, Earth is looking unreasonably minuscule from their window. (01:52:50)

However since he hasn't connected the cables to anything on the other end yet no sparks should be visible.
