Corrected entry: Kessler says during the TV interview that the reason the Martians went undetected by the Mars probe is that the probe didn't investigate the very deep Martian canals. There are no canals on Mars - the appearance of lines on the surface was caused by the faults of early telescopes, extensively documented in the 19th century and extensively debunked in the 20th.

Correction: The movie is a spoof of the 1950s sci-fi B movies, just set in modern times. In the 50s they still believed there were canals. You could add that since there are no Martians on Mars, that is a factual error too.
