World War Z (2013)

Corrected entry: As Gerry and Segen are climbing on board the airliner to escape Jerusalem, one of the pilots takes their weapons, like Segen's machete and Gerry's assault rifle. Once they climb up the later, the pilot throws the rifle out of the jet through the hole they came in through. The sound effect is wrong here. It is a ladder hole leading out of the plane to the concrete runway below that is a drop of several feet. Yet as he chucks it down the hole, it makes a sound the instant it is out of sight, as if the ground is right there, and it makes the sound of the gun hitting a regular floor. (01:03:05)

Correction: The hatch in the cockpit floor does not lead directly to the ladder hatch shown in exterior shots of the plane, it would lead to a section of the forward hold, so the gun making an impact sound just after being thrown through the hatch would be correct.

World War Z (2013)

Corrected entry: After the phone rings, one of the W.H.O. Scientists gives Gerry the code to get into Vault 139. As Gerry sets down his crowbar against the wall to key in the code, you can see the supposedly air tight seal around the door of the vault holding the deadly pathogens, is not actually sealed. There is a very visible gap, showing it's a set. (01:38:10)

Correction: Vault 139 is just that - a vault. A secure storage room, not a bio-hazard safety room. Vials stored there would be moved to more secure handling areas for tests. It is very prevalent in movie fiction that all dangerous diseases are under triple-layer retinal security areas; but that's not real life. It doesn't need to be airtight, just locked up.
