Confirmation picture

Factual error: When Anita Hill is in her hotel room waiting to testify she is watching the Texas v. OU football game. In the movie the date for that scene is Friday, October 11, 1991. The Texas v. OU football game was played on Saturday, October 12, 1991.

Anthropoid picture

Factual error: The jacket blurb and plot synopsis for "Anthropoid" are historically and factually incorrect in stating that Heydrich was "third in command" of Nazi Germany. He was not; there was a chain of Nazi hierarchy above him and any historian of Nazi Germany will verify that. Unfortunately, Rotten Tomatoes perpetuates this inaccuracy by using the same jacket blurb in its own plot summary of the movie.

The 9th Life of Louis Drax picture

Revealing mistake: When the Creature is telling Louis the "Bat Story," the Creature is holding a burning torch in its right hand against a wholly-dark background. It becomes apparent that the shots of the creature are actually Dutch Angle shots (the angle of the camera is rotated about 45°), because the smoke from the torch is not rising straight upwards; rather, the smoke is rising at a 45° angle toward the upper left corner of the screen.

Other mistake: Augustina approaches "Bill at the bar. The bar's clock shows it's 9:12. The two go on to talk for over 2 minutes of real time, and she says "it was so 10 minutes ago" when he quotes an earlier bit of the conversation; no matter how much time it passed, the clock did not advance. (00:02:10 - 00:04:10)

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping picture

Factual error: In the early phases of the narration, Conner's boyband is on the cover of Rolling Stone. It is a double summer issue with the July 7-21 date, and at the same time its numeration begins with an eight. Rolling Stone could have a number 800-something in July from 1999 to 2002. In none of these years July 7 and 21 were on a Thursday. (00:02:30)
