Species II picture

Factual error: During the Mars-flight, the way the spacecraft uses the rocket thrusters is unrealistic. For example when they are nearing Mars, they should be using the rockets against their movement, to slow down the speed. But in the movie they are using the rockets towards Mars.

Twilight picture

Visible crew/equipment: About half the way through when Paul Newman is sitting on a seat in the police station with James Garner, the boom operator and another guy scratching his head can be seen to the left of Newman in the marble wall. It is fairly obvious taking up a 1/3rd of the screen. Also in the same time when Newman is walking through the halls of the police station with Stockard Channing a whole heap of movie posters can be seen on the walls like they used the offices of a movie studio as a police station.
