Factual error: When Donnie returns to his house to find a jet engine has landed on it, we see them lift the jet engine up with the crane. Yet his family, complete with 5 year old girl, are standing right in front of the crane. Plus workmen are milling around underneath and about 4 FAA officials come from inside the house. They are lifting a 2000lb jet engine, and all these people are allowed to wander around while it's 20ft above them?
Factual error: In a short scene, Sissy Spacek is seen walking down the sidewalk with a 16 ounce cardboard cup of coffee with a cardboard cup holder. The film is set in the mid 1980s, well before regular people walked around with coffee shop coffee in a cardboard cup.
Factual error: When Farva is talking to the Rookie about country music awards, Farva lights a cassette tape on fire. The flame would not spread that quickly.
Factual error: In the closing credits, Eva Mendes' name is spelled as both Eva Mendes and Eva Mendez.
Factual error: Near the end of the film, during the big shootout scene, there are 2 girls vs. Will Farrell. If you play the movie in slow-motion, you can see that the guns the girls are shooting continue to shoot fire out of the barrel several times, even though the slide is locked back. When a handgun's slide locks back, the magazine is empty. How could they still be shooting when there are clearly no bullets left?
Factual error: The main character, a petite flight attendant, cocks the charging handle on a Mini-Uzi. The weapon had previously fired rounds so her action would eject a live round or in the event of a smokestack jam - a spent shell. Neither happened.
Factual error: The Kiss of the Dragon acupuncture point, known as "Point 15," is in a delicate area of the spinal column, a little below the second cervical vertebra. It's a definite knock-out target in fighting, and it can even be a lethal target. But Jet Li's explanation that it somehow prevents blood from flowing away from the brain is pure nonsense.
Factual error: Just before the band records their first EP Ride Into The Sun, the drummer quits. Rick Allen is shown to audition, is hired, then plays on the recording. In reality, Rick was hired after the recording of the EP. For the recording of the EP, Def Leppard recruited Frank Noon of The Next Band to play the drums.
Factual error: When the protagonists arrive to Patmos, latitude and longitude are switched the other way around at 26°489 and 37°411. Moreover, that's not Patmos, but Anydro Patmou, an uninhabited islet unlike what is shown here.
Factual error: During the baby shower scene (which is on a Sunday) a U.S. Postal Service truck is seen putting mail in mailboxes.
Factual error: All SS members have right collar tabs, except Heinrich Müller. His rank at that time was SS-Gruppenführer, same as Otto Hofmann, but his collar tab corresponds to SS-Brigadeführer (one step lower). For addition, the collar tabs of some general ranks changed after April 1942. The conference took place in January 1942, so they have older versions. But as I wrote, Müller and Hofmann were at the same rank, so the tabs should look the same.
Factual error: Just before the cross scene a guard is holding an AK47 which was not invented until 1947.
Factual error: The canteens used by US troops in a couple of the scenes are the wrong type. The twin handle design M1956 came out in the mid 1950s.
Factual error: The shot of the plane in the Melbourne airport before it took off, and the one in Los Angeles after it lands are of the same place.
Factual error: Ana's mother, "a French divorcée," according to the movie, teaches at cepe, which is a college within the National Autonomous University of Mexico specifically for foreign students. However, I attended cepe, and non-native Spanish speaking teachers would not have been allowed to teach there, as the entire point of cepe was to introduce the Spanish language and Mexican history/culture to foreign students.
Factual error: At the beginning of the movie there is information, that "Poland surrenders to the Germans after less than a month of fighting." In fact, the last big battle during Invasion of Poland (Battle of Kock) took place between 02-05 October, more than a month after first shots were fired. And Poland also never officially surrendered to the Germans. (00:03:30)
