Atonement picture

Factual error: Near the beginning of the film before James McAvoy heads up to the house for the evening meal, he is seen looking up through a skylight when a Lancaster bomber slowly flies overhead. At the time it was was supposed to be 1935. The Lancaster bomber did not fly until the beginning of 1941. Can't be an Avro Manchester either, they only had two engines and first flew in 1939.

Rust and Bone picture

Revealing mistake: In the first scene at the beach, where Ali carries Stephanie to the water, you can see the shadow of her legs, despite her legs being amputated. (00:41:25)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Can you? You can see his shadow for sure, but I don't see her shadow cast on anything. I was looking for this mistake on Prime - I added the timecode for the scene too (41:25) in case someone wants to check out and maybe submit a screenshot, too - but I personally can't see it.

Then right at the end the Detective who is hunting them arrives. Now he is a cop from Lockport, about six states away. A. Why did he drive all that way to see the body? B. A cop from all the way down there shows up but no new Jersey cops are at the scene?
