Factual error: Chucky blows out the pilot light in Eddie Caputo's house and, mere minutes later, there's enough gas for a single gun blast to then cause the whole house to explode. 1) It would take hours and hours for enough gas to fill up that house to present a safety issue; 2) By that time, Eddie would have unmistakably smelled it; 3) A gun blast wouldn't be enough to ignite that gas anyway.
Factual error: When Poirot sets his trap about the "brown spider", the man next to Lady Westholme is intently reading an issue of Pic magazine; it's the July 1938 issue with Carol Landis on the cover. But the movie is set in May 1937. (01:12:30)
Factual error: Throughout the movie, whenever the sunglasses/contacts are worn, both visual and audible hidden subliminal messages are seen and heard. Such as the hidden "obey" message flashing, or the hidden traffic siren repeating "sleep," etc. The problem is that the glasses/contacts only help the eyes, not the ears. So the hidden audio shouldn't be heard any differently or clearer than it is with them off.
Suggested correction: The glasses/contacts are made of a material that blocks the alien signal, hence why wearing them too long makes you feel sick since it messes with the brain. That would allow you to hear the audio as well.
Not true. Yes, the glasses would help you to be aware that the sounds existed; however, the error is that the sounds become louder. Take the traffic signal device. If it is saying "sleep sleep" as a subliminal message outside normal human hearing, wearing the glasses won't change the volume of the subliminal "sleep message" from "sleeeep" to "SLEEEP". Unless you're saying the sounds were always at normal human hearing levels.
That's exactly what was happening. There's a difference between frequency and volume. A sound can have a frequency outside normal human perception and still be loud. For example, a dog whistle is loud enough to hear, but not in a frequency most humans can hear. The plot of the film seems to be that the frequency isn't picked up by the conscious mind, but by the subconscious mind, much like the visual images.
I just assumed, as is the case with most subliminal audio, that the sound messages were a case of low volume and not frequency. That is, sounds that were just below normal hearing volume. That is barely hearable to the average person volume-wise, but they heard enough for the brain to perceive them and process the information subconsciously. Unfortunately, I can only speculate which it is without an absolute answer, so I can't argue the correction really.
Factual error: The film was wholly filmed in Morocco, where the scenery, architecture and geography is wholly different to Israel. All the extras are also Moroccans, who look wholly different and wear different clothing to people from Israel (and would have looked equally different in the first century AD). Many extras were members of the Berber community. Berbers have a long tradition of being tattooed, so many extras showed prominent tattoos. But Jews have a traditional aversion to being tattooed, as per Leviticus 19:28.
Factual error: The closing credits give thanks to "FAO Schwartz", misspelling the name of the famous toy store with an extra "T".
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.
Factual error: In cooking class, the teacher said "two stalks of celery" and Michael handed Lorna one stalk, which she started to separate. One "stalk" is actually the entire bunch (or head), which is made up of 8-10+ "ribs" connected at the bottom. Two ribs will equal about one chopped cup - about right for the tuna walnut casserole made with one can of tuna. Americans typically use the word "stalk" interchangeably with "rib", calling a single rib/ stick/ branch a stalk, but the stalk is the entire bunch. (00:37:02)
Factual error: The Los Angeles cops pursuing Lulu, Peaches, and Darlene in Mexico couldn't arrest them due to this being a foreign country where they wouldn't have jurisdiction.
Factual error: When Tina and Jason are in the basement, she sprays gasoline at him. It's clear like water. Considering it's covered in cobwebs, it's been there a long time and would be dark in color, because it gets darker as it ages.
