Factual error: When J goes to the electronic store to get the time jump piece from Jeffrey Price, all of the TVs in the store are showing "Wheel of Fortune", which in NYC is shown on ABC TV channel 7. But when the show is interrupted for the emergency story about the invasion, the TVs show NBC TV Breaking News, which is channel 4 in NYC. (00:32:05)

Men in Black 3 (2012)

Factual error: When J arrives on top of the bird on the Chrysler Building in 1969, he looks around at the view. The North Tower of the World Trade Center (One WTC) should be in view. The construction of the North Tower began in the summer of 1968. In 1969, even though the very top was still under construction. The first tenant moved in. Even though One WTC wasn't officially finished until 1972, in July 1969, there should be a clear view of at least 3/4 of that tower. (00:37:20)

Pitch Perfect (2012)

Character mistake: When Jesse is talking to Becca about "The Breakfast Club," he tells her that the best song is "Don't You Forget About Me" which was recorded by Simple Minds because Billy Idol didn't want to do it. Steve Schiff and Keith Forsey composed "Don't You..." Billy Idol approached them, requesting to sing the track. Steve Forsey didn't want Idol to do it for the movie, and Forsey personally chose Simple Minds. Idol was eventually allowed to record his version of the song, and it's on his album "Billy Idol - Greatest Hits" as remastered in 2001. He stayed true to the original.

Factual error: In 1969 while Boris is riding his motorcycle on the boardwalk in Coney Island, he rides in front of Nathan's Famous. In 1969 the only Nathan's Famous was on Surf Avenue. It wasn't until approximately 35 years later, in the mid 2000s, that Nathan's opened a smaller satellite store physically on the boardwalk. (00:39:30)

Men in Black 3 (2012)

Factual error: When J is driving to Coney Island and is stopped by the two police officers,the view of Coney Island in the background is wrong. You see the Wonder Wheel ferris wheel and to the right you see the Cyclone roller coaster. The only way you could see the Cyclone to the right of the ferris wheel would be if you were on the boardwalk, on the beach, or in the Atlantic Ocean. (The tall cylindrical ride between the coaster and wheel is verification that the roller coaster shown is the Cyclone.) In addition, in 1969 there were two other roller coasters - one of of which would've been seen in that view - the Tornado which would be to the right of the ferris wheel which means the proper view should be two roller coasters with the ferris wheel between them.
