Up (2009)
Trivia: Jordan Nagai, who eventually got the part of Russell, showed up to an audition with his brother, who was actually the one auditioning. However, the director realized Nagai behaved and spoke non-stop like Russell and chose him for the part. A similar situation happened with the casting of Short Round for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, whereby Jonathan Ke Quan was cast when it was actually his brother auditioning for the part.

Factual error: In many of the CGI flying scenes, it is obvious that the engines are not moving. The rotary engines of early aircraft rotated along with the propeller at the same speed.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Character mistake: Scarlett says that since McCullen is from Scotland, he speaks Celtic. Celtic is a group of languages, not a language unto itself (something a genius like Scarlett would most likely know); it would be like saying someone speaks Semitic or Germanic. McCullen would probably speak Scots or Scottish Gaelic, the official languages used in Scotland.

Continuity mistake: The CCCP emblem on the back of Irina Spalko's uniform appears and disappears between shots, most notably when she is descending off the cliff and we get a clear view of her back-minus the emblem.

Hancock (2008)
Trivia: When in the tent and forced to face the Crystal Skull, Indy dismisses the skulls as being from "Saucer Men From Mars". Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars was actually an early title for the film.

Suggested correction: Scarlett certainly took this into account when she suggested the words for Ripcord to speak. Scottish Gaelic is a Celtic language so Scarlett was still correct, she was just simplifying for expediency.

No she wasn't correct. There is no such language as "celtic."
