Man of Tai Chi picture

Factual error: After the scene where Karen Mok is standing in the empty fighting arena, there is a cut to the city night skyline, with the Moon rising fast as time is fast forwarded. However, all the stars remain stationary... Which is nonsense, because the Moon is revolving around Earth much slower than Earth's own rotation. The Moon's (and the Sun's, obviously) rising and setting is because of the latter, that's why the stars should also be moving along with the Moon. (01:10:15)

August: Osage County picture

Factual error: Near the beginning of the movie, the Slowhand album is on the turntable and the song "Lay Down Sally" is playing. The needle is near the end of the record, even though the song is the third of five tracks. Near the end of the movie, Meryl Streep drops the needle much closer to the beginning of the record to play the same song again.
