Factual error: In the final scenes when Superman is fighting the enemies in Metropolis, even though half the city has been destroyed, the lights are still on in many buildings. In reality, the destruction of a few skyscrapers would be enough to trigger the shutdown of the electric substations that serve the city and all the lights would be off (as happened with Hurricane Sandy). (02:00:00)
Factual error: In the final scene in Paris at the bridge with the padlocks, most of the keys tossed in the river are distinctive Kwikset brand keys. Kwikset only makes one fairly specialised type of padlock - no way all the keys are for that one type. (01:54:10)
Factual error: When Gary gives the police officer his name and address as Peter Page, the postcode he tells him is invalid - in the UK, the second half of a postcode always begins with a number.
Factual error: Chucky is not tall enough to rev the engine of the car in the garage when trying to suffocate Nica.
Suggested correction: I watched the scene and it's clear Chucky wasn't using a brick on the accelerator to rev the engine. However, Nica is paralyzed and there are devices you can install on a car that allows a paralyzed person to operate the gas and brake from the steering wheel, so Chucky could rev the engine without touching the gas pedal.
Suggested correction: All he would have to do is stand on the gas pedal.
He's standing at the wheel the entire scene. He's not tall enough to be doing that and pressing the gas pedal.
He could have used a brick or something to keep the gas pedal down and then climbed up to the wheel.
Except if you watch the scene, the engine revs up and down, not something putting a brick on the gas pedal would do.
Factual error: The door handles on the Challenger are the wrong handles for all makes of the Challenger in the 70s.
Factual error: This film takes place in the north eastern USA. During the beautiful scene with the large black bird soaring above, they added a close up of an Andean Condor. The Andean Condor only lives in South America; Peru, Argentina, Chile, etc.
Factual error: Tilda Swinton requests a flight from Detroit to Tangier, Morocco, but it must be an all-night flight since she and Tom Hiddleston are vampires. They end up accepting a flight connecting through Madrid. Flying west to east, it would be impossible. If they leave their home at sunset, say 6 p.m. Detroit time, and take off around 8 p.m. Detroit time, it is already 1 a.m. In Spain. Toss in the travel time and they will be landing in Madrid in the early morning, which would kill them.
Factual error: When Ray figures out he is on the ship, he makes it back to his cell, creating a flood along the way, he then swims through a lot of water. When he returns to his water drenched cell and escapes with Victor, his clothes are bone dry. (01:54:30 - 01:55:20)
Suggested correction: I really don't think so. Their clothes are completely soaked, like their hair and skin.
Nope...watching the scene many times in slo-mo, it's clear that Arnie's shirt is soaked, but Sly's is just as obviously dry.
In the first shot when he comes out from the cell he is more than knee-deep in water, with water splashing everywhere, and there are showers of water everywhere when the shot changes: if the shirt were dry you would see stains created by the water spashes and by soaking wet Arnie leaning on him and touching him, since it is impossible for a dry shirt to stay dry through what we see onscreen, let alone the multiple takes most likely they had to do: instead the color of the shirt is uniform. Plus his hair, face, his T-shirt underneath is wet, why would they throw a dry shirt on him on that mess, and how would it stay dry? I think it's simply the light to make them appear different, Arnie is on the darker side of the corridor. However, that's just my observation.
Factual error: Towards the end of the movie, when the escaped convict gets captured, there is a new style California license plate on the rear of one of the police cars. This film takes place in New Hampshire in the 1980s.
Factual error: When Mindy kicks one of the guys out of the van, he lands on the windshield of the car behind them and it crumbles. Windshields are not made of safety glass, they are made of laminated glass.
Factual error: The bikes used in film are Enfield Classics, which were introduced in 2010 and not available in 1960 or 1947. The engines are visible in 2 scenes (when young Milka meets his sister for first time in Delhi and when Milka rides to see his old home when in Pakistan) and are AVL engines, not the cast iron engines in 1950s bikes.
Factual error: The southern Arizona border is shown as a river/canyon when in reality it is a straight line through the desert. (01:25:15)
Factual error: In the Victory's Glory segment, Bobby Lee Mayflower was sent to the line to shoot a technical foul because Lucius Williams dribbled the basketball with his foot and a half penis. When shooting the technical foul, there should not have been any players surrounding the lane; technical fouls are taken alone at the line. (01:02:15 - 01:20:30)
Factual error: When David Lyons checks the map on his computer where it shows where you can travel with Coach America, it shows all stops and routes. But Southport isn't a stop or on a route. Closest stop is Wilmington. (00:17:43)
Factual error: When the team is at The Golden Gate Bridge after a night of partying they sit on a pair of red picnic tables at Battery Spencer. There are no picnic tables at Battery Spencer. (01:16:45)
Factual error: It was very nice of the East Anglian Transport Museum at Chappel and Wakes Colne to provide a train for the coder to go home in, and come in to work. The station is even in Suffolk; but of the two lines through the station, one is used by public trains, and the other by historic preserved trains. When the coder gets off her morning train, it is seen passing across points from the museum platform line into the railway museum, rather than continuing up the line to Sudbury, as a public train would. Appropriately, the train is a heritage DMU - a museum exhibit which has not been used on the main line for at least 25 years. So that's three reasons why she's not on a train which actually goes anywhere.
Factual error: Admiral Hadley often barks orders ordering Army forces to act, not just Navy forces. He wouldn't have the authority.
Factual error: One of Carlos' henchmen is running from Agnes' dog in her weed garden, in a maze like environment. The actions of the dog are totally unrealistic in how a dog would actually be chasing a person with intent to kill, especially a Doberman. And it was not moving very fast either, like jogging. A real situation like this, the dog would have been full sprint and on the attack, the henchman would not have been able to get away as long as he did as slow as he was going. (00:47:20)
Factual error: There is a shot in the movie showing the outside front view of the Apple Head Office building. At the bottom of the screen it states the year (1981 or 1982). As the year is posted on the screen, a Chevy Cavalier drives into the shot in the foreground parking lot of the property. The Cavalier's style/shape and front headlights reflect that of a 1992-1994 model car - not a car from 1981 or 1982. (01:04:20)
Factual error: Dwight and Jasmine are walking just off Market Street, near the Financial District/Chinatown, when they run into Augie. Then they're in the car and Dwight is supposedly taking Jasmine home, in the Mission District - but when she demands that he let her out of the car, they're in the Marina. The Marina isn't on the way to the Mission from where they were; it's far out of the way.
