Corrected entry: When Hermes is talking to Zeus and Hera at the beginning, he talks about Narcissus and Orpheus, who were both mortals and died in Greek mythology. (00:03:35)

Hercules (1997)
Corrected entry: Hercules is fighting the hydra, which had one head to begin with, but gains three more every time Hercules chops off one of them. Hercules chops off one of its heads six times, meaning the hydra should end up with just thirteen heads in the end, but when Hercules sees it with all of its heads, it has more than that.
Correction: Twice we see four heads appear and one time we see *five* necks rise. Given Hades' penchant for cheating and given that the Hydra's a creature of magic, its mutations don't have to be consistent.

Hercules (1997)
Corrected entry: When the Titans are marching off to Mt. Olympus, you can tell the tornado one is the last one in line. Moments later, the cyclops appears behind him.
Correction: Yes, you see the tornado last, but you also can't see anything past the tornado, and the Cyclops isn't anywhere in the shot. So the Cyclops was simply off-camera.
There is a very wide shot and looking behind the tornado, the Cyclops can not be seen, and the bottom of it is very thin; it's not until there's a close-up shot of all the Titans that you can't see behind it anymore.

Correction: Deviations from the source material don't constitute a mistake, as long as they remain internally consistent within the movie's world. "Hercules," for example, is from Roman mythology, not Greek mythology. This is trivia, but not a mistake. It would only be a mistake if at some point in the film they establish his name as "Herecles."
