The 10 biggest mistakes in Iron Man 1 & 2

Mistakes

I don't think this film is supposed to be a biography, but merely a story which is based on actual events. In any case, when we first see Eric Lidell, it is 1920 and he has just returned from China to his homeland of Scotland. Eric would've been 18 years old in 1920. Ian Charleson, who was 31 at the time the film was made, looks his own age. See more...

The wonderful soundtrack to this movie topped the US Billboard charts and won the academy award too. See more...

The dress Sybill wears to her first date with Harold is far, far too low cut for 1912. The neckline goes below the lower curve of her breasts. In 1912, forget it. This isn't a character choice - wearing a dress like that in Edwardian London would be like turning up naked nowadays. Couldn't happen, didn't happen. [No scene in this movie is set in 1912. The scene in question is set in the early 1920's. The Oscar winning costume department did quite a lot of research to produce accurate period attire.]

Harold Abrahams excuses himself during the interval of "The Mikado" to ask out one of the singers. In the previous scene we see him and Liddel watching the "Three Little Girls From School" song being performed - this is part of the second act and appears *after* the interval. [ The "Three Little Girls from School"-trio happens halfway into the first act and thus well before any interval.]

In the closing scene Harold Abrahams is seen arriving at a train station from the Dover Ferry. This should have been London Waterloo, but the station depicted is London Paddington. [The station is never named. Just because it can be identified as being Paddington in reality doesn't mean it is supposed to be Paddington in the film. Another example of this is that 'Cambridge University' in this film is obviously Eton, as it was the only place they were allowed to film. Not a movie mistake, just a choice of location.]
