10,000 B.C. (2008) - 3 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry If the movie takes place supposedly around 10.000 BC, the final kiss was completely inaccurate, since anthropologists have established that kissing as seen today was only "invented" in India around 2000 BC, and perfected by the Romans. They had actually gotten it right throughout the movie, the nose rubbing or joining of foreheads, but they couldn't resist making the mistake in the final shot. And when the kid makes the kissing motions, it is a reference to the same mistake. [As with any historically set film, many things have been updated in order to make sense to modern-day audiences. Thus we see the use of colloquial English, modern-day units of measurement and so forth. This is an entirely standard movie convention and is not considered a mistake.] Corrected by Tailkinker
Entry In various scenes throughout the film, herds of mammoth are seen galloping. This is a scientific impossibility - due to their large size and body plan, no elephant species can run (the definition being all feet are airborne at any given time) and are only capable of a very "fast walk". [Mammoths also did not grow to the size depicted in the movie, neither did Sabre Toothed Tigers. As per interviews with director Roland Emmerich, the movie is purely a fantasy and is NOT intended to be historically accurate. It's like saying 'Starships can't really go faster than the speed of light.'] Corrected by wizard_of_gore
Entry Dinosaurs and humans were not alive at the same time. [There were no dinosaurs in this movie. All of the animals seen, the mammoths, the sabertooth tigers, and the large birds all existed alongside humans.] Corrected by pross79
