Factual error: The movie's set in 1954 yet in a scene in the principal's office with Coach Balbricker there's a pair of USA flags that have stars representing all 50 states.

Porky's (1982)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: If you're talking about the 2 small flags next to the portrait, those are 48-star flags. You can tell because the rows are even, not offset. There's 6 rows with 8 stars in each row.

That's My Boy (2012)
Factual error: There's no way any prison would allow a prisoner to wear a personal shirt under their uniform. Sarandon's shown wearing a Hulk Hogan T-shirt.
23rd Oct 2020
American Angels: Baptism of Blood (1989)
Factual error: During the match Mimi has Lisa on the ropes choking her too long. The referee would've counted to five then disqualified her when she refused to break the hold.
16th Oct 2020
Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Factual error: It doesn't seem likely Maxie Zeus could've survived being both electrocuted and hitting concrete real hard at least without some serious injuries.
26th Sep 2020
The Haunting Passion (1983)
Factual error: When Julie's undressing in the shower scene she steps out of a slip. Impossible as she was wearing pants, women wear slips only with dresses.
9th Sep 2020
The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
Factual error: The movie takes place in Corpus Christi, Texas located in Texas' southern section. Characters are shown speaking with heavy southern accents despite most real life residents sounding nothing like this.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Adhesive Duck Deficiency - S3-E8
Factual error: Maybe I'm wrong but I've had the dislocated shoulder experience and shouldn't hers be in a sling at her side not across her front right to left? This just seems odd.

Suggested correction: That type of sling is the best for preventing movement of the shoulder joint. It is the proper one.

Revenge of the Creature (1955)
Factual error: The tank the creature's in has sharks and barracudas, salt water sea creatures, when he's said to be of fresh water origin.
15th May 2020
The Mummy (1959)
Factual error: Egyptian death masks eyes were open not closed. It was part of their beliefs regarding the afterlife.
15th May 2020
The Mummy (1959)
Factual error: Karnak was an Egyptian city, not one of their gods.
6th May 2020
Hannie Caulder (1971)
Factual error: Raquel Welch is shown to have modern tooth fillings during the rape scene.
28th Apr 2020
Curtains (1983)
Factual error: One patient had a lobotomy. Impossible as those were abolished in the 1950's by the AMA and patients wouldn't be housed in the same room, too risky as they might attack each other.
3rd Apr 2020
Goddess of Love (1988)
Factual error: Aphrodite mentions Medusa as her friend at point. She was a Gorgon, a monster, killed by Perseus, not a friend to any of the Greek gods.

Suggested correction: That's just the most popular version of the ancient myth. But because the story is based on a myth, and not real events, the story can change. This would be like pointing out a factual error for a film changing the origin story of a comic book character. In the poet Ovid's (47 BC - 17 AD) telling of the story, Medusa was a beautiful young woman who later was turned into an ugly woman with snakes for hair by Athena after Poseidon's actions.
29th Feb 2020
Wicked Stepmother (1989)
Factual error: Nobody can fall onto a car and come away with few injuries. Yet Colleen Camp does with a sore back and briefly wears a neck brace.
12th Feb 2020
Delirious (1991)
Factual error: A football game is shown playing on TV at one point. Impossible as the movie is taking place in spring - football games, both college and the NFL, are played in the fall/winter.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This is during Jack's delirious dream and he wrote it that way to distract Carter who was waiting for the cable repair man. It wasn't something that was meant to be happening in real life.
21st Jan 2020
The Viking Queen (1967)
Factual error: Druids worshipped things like nature, not Greek gods like Zeus.
30th Nov 2019
Bringing Down the House (2003)
Factual error: When Missi Pyle gets hung on a door handle after her fight this seems impossible. It would've broken off due to her weight.
14th Nov 2019
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Factual error: Notice the Confederate flag in the KKK meeting at night. This takes place in the 30's and they didn't fly the Confederate flag until the 50's. Before then they flew the US flag.
4th Nov 2019
Sheena (1984)
Factual error: The tigers used here are Indian Bengal tigers and this is set in Africa. Plus zebras can't be ridden as Sheena's able to do.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The only striped animals in the movie are zebras, not tigers. A tiger did appear on some of the DVD covers, which is an error on the covers. For a fantasy movie, riding a zebra falls under artistic license. In any case, the zebra Sheena was riding was a small horse with makeup to make it appear to be a zebra.
14th Oct 2019
Tarzan The Ape Man (1981)
Factual error: The elephants in the movie are Indian elephants, not African ones.
