The Blob

Factual error: Steve McQueen remarks that the chunk of meteorite is hot - though this is a common misconception (and probably belongs on several movies' boards), meteorites are almost invariably cold, given that by the time they hit Earth their frigid inner layers are exposed by the friction of air drag. (00:20:40)

Other mistake: In the scene where everyone is running out of the theater most are cracking up. (01:11:00)

More quotes from The Blob

Question: The movie was made in 1958, why does the calendar in police station show July 1957?

Answer: Because movies aren't always set in the year they're released. Absent any conflicting information, the assumption must be that the events of the movie take place around July 1957.
