The Jackal (1997)

Factual error: After the Jackal jumps to the other side of the metro subway train to get away, Declan pulls out his cellphone and makes a call. However in 1997, when this movie was made and the time it takes place, there was no way you would be able to get cellphone reception in a subway station underground. (01:48:00)

The Jackal (1997)

Factual error: The big gun that the Jackal uses is shown to have a consumer grade lens on it. A mere camera lens. This weapon would have kicked so violently that just the first shot alone would have shattered the lens. This gun needs an optic that is designed for such weapons. (00:57:35)

The Jackal (1997)

Factual error: When the gun is uncovered at the grounds where The Jackal and Lemont are about to test it, we get a good look at the scope mounted on it. This is a Canon Prime Lens, which is unable to zoom as is shown on the monitor. (00:55:35)

The Jackal (1997)

Factual error: When The Jackal arrives in Canada, he walks up to a customs officer who is just wearing a suit and tie with a badge. Canadian customs officers wear uniforms. (00:20:40)

The Jackal (1997)

Factual error: When searching for a weapon to use to perform his hit, The Jackal requests a weapon that is identified as a Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm. However what's shown is actually a Browning M2HB mocked up as a KPV heavy machine gun in 14.5mm. Both of these weapons have a fire rate of about 600 rounds per minute. But the film states the Polish has a fire rate of 1400 rounds per minute.

Rampage (2018)

Factual error: When the bomber is coming in towards the city about to drop its payload, it is flying in much too low for the bomb it is using. It is shown and stated to be armed with a MOAB explosive, and thus they would have conducted the airstrike from a much much higher altitude to protect the bomber and its crew from its own blast.

Rampage (2018)

Factual error: At the start of the film when Dr. Atkins is ejecting the escape pod from the space station, she is in a seat facing towards the space station. When she hits the button to eject the pod, it launches backwards, and she is thrown back in her seat when this motion would have thrown her forward. (00:04:10)

Rampage (2018)

Factual error: When Kate is watching the news, the station on is an LA newscast but showing the code WZPZ. All stations west of the Mississippi river start with K, all that are east start with W. (00:20:45)

Meet the Engineer (2007)

Factual error: It is a Level 2 Sentry that is sitting by the Engineer on his left. But as the camera pulls back, and then does a jump cut further away, the Level 2 Sentry is seen suddenly firing rockets. But only Level 3 Sentries can fire rockets. Also it's still pointing to the right of the screen and shooting bullets visible while the rockets fire towards the left of screen. Even Level 3 sentries can't fire in two different directions at once. (00:01:15)

Factual error: When the Level 2 Sentry gun begins firing, you can see Shotgun shells falling out of it instead of the usual ammo casings. (00:00:40)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Factual error: While spinning around dragging Link by the dragon's tail, the dragon blows fire at him and burns his feet, barely. But the way the dragon is spinning, there is no way the fire could have curved that way to get Link's feet. And the fire is also coming at Link's feet from above his head towards his feet, but where the dragon's head is it should be coming from below his feet. (00:04:15)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Factual error: Throughout the scene where Toyman is holding a school bus full of children hostage, the sides of the bus are shown several times. In no shot does the bus ever have a bus number or a stop sign on the side. It is required by law in the US that school buses have the stop sign on them that extends out to stop traffic when children are exiting. And all school buses do have numbers if they are in use for identification purposes. (00:35:20 - 00:37:40)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Factual error: Superman throws Doomsday through a small power grid in the middle of Metropolis and then Doomsday drags him back through it, nearly obliterating the plant completely. Yet with this power station destroyed, not a single building or street light in the surrounding area is affected by the sudden change of power flow. (00:22:20)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Factual error: After dealing with the workers in the tunnel, Doomsday gets to the surface, kills all the Applecore workers and destroys their equipment and vehicles. Fires are everywhere from explosions and men scream as Doomsday crushes them. Once he finishes off the last guy, he walks a few steps away from the destruction and sees a deer just haplessly grazing on some grass nearby, only a few yards away from the Project Applecore. Only when the deer sees Doomsday does it decide to stop eating and take off running. Deer are afraid of loud noise. The explosions and men screaming only a few yards away would realistically have spooked that deer and just about any other wildlife in the area to run away. (00:11:15)

Tammy (2014)

Factual error: Franchised chain restaurants always use the same beverage products in each of their stores. But in the beginning, the Topper Jacks that Tammy works at has Coke Products, yet the one she later robs has Pepsi.

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Factual error: After the rug falls over Ganon and covers him, Link blasts a hole in the floor under the evil wizard and he falls through with the rug still draped over him. As he falls in the next shot down a long ways, the rug stays draped over him, completely unaffected by wind. (00:13:50)

Quantom X

Factual error: Once they escape the large ship, the humans and Bee hop on the ship Crosshairs is piloting, and they take off through the city, being chased by three enemy ships. Bumblebee, standing on the back of their ship, shoots a grapple hook at a good sized fishing boat and then flings it up into the path of the enemy ships, destroying one. But this is where physics fails. The ship they are in is not affected by this action at all, yet Bee is standing on it and uses brute force to lift a heavy object into the path of an identical ship very swiftly, and the ship they are on does not even get fazed by the action. At the very least, the ship should have suddenly bucked down in altitude from the sudden additional weight of the ship Bee grappled and pulled on, having a effect similar to an anchor, as well as Bee's motion in jerking it upwards really fast, having an equal and opposite reaction to the ship he is standing on.

Superman (1941)

The Mad Scientist - S1-E1

Factual error: As the beginning shows Krypton explode, there is a huge cloud of dust at the remains of the planet that then fades to nothing. Only space dust would not act like that from an entire planet exploding. It acted like dust settling on the ground and just fading away, rather than dissipating into space. (00:01:25)
