And Then I Go picture

Continuity mistake: The glass bowl of spaghetti is filled within about 2" from the top, but the mound in the center almost reaches the rim when Janice carries it to the table. After Tim serves at least 1 cup servings onto 4 plates, the bowl looks just as full as it is when Edwin leaves the table. (00:14:27 - 00:16:17)

Chappaquiddick picture

Factual error: The accident takes place the night of July 18, 1969, and they show there being a full moon. That night the moon was actually waxing crescent with only 14% visible, and set at 10:27pm while the accident happened about 12:45am, so there was no moon in the sky anyway.

The Sense of an Ending picture

Factual error: Tony writes a "postcard" on the back of a picture to Adrian and Veronica to an address in Cambridge including the postcode. This scene occurs in 1967 (we see the date on the letter he is responding to) but postcodes weren't in use in Cambridge until at least 1970.

Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack picture

Global Meltdown picture

Factual error: A group of people are traveling in a pickup truck escaping earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They come across a mist that they identify as sulphur dioxide, mainly by its smell and effects on people. Then the plastic interior of the car starts to melt, and they attribute it to the sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide can attack plastics and rubber, but only in its liquid form. It turns gaseous at -10° C. After that it is a gas. So the melting of plastic is not correct at ambient temperature.

Factual error: The man cutting through the door is pictured holding a torch, but that type of torch is not a cutting torch. You also see a showering of sparks as though a grinder is being used. (00:42:00 - 00:43:00)

Lean on Pete picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of his jog, Charley picked up the cardboard that had fallen out of the recycle bin; the bin's side was positioned parallel to the driveway. When Charley returned from jogging, the recycle bin was closer to the house and turned about 90° (the side now facing the house). It was early morning and Charley was not gone very long, so the recycle bin should have been in the same position. (00:02:26 - 00:03:55)

Leatherface picture

Character mistake: Set in Texas, the Sheriff threatens the wrongdoer with the gas chamber. Executions in Texas at that time were all by electrocution, namely by "Old Sparky," the electric chair. Texas has never used the gas chamber for executions.
