Factual error: The opening scene of the Skyview collapse takes place on May 16, 1968, according to a newspaper clipping about the tower being closed for repairs as a result of Iris' premonition. During the vision, when the first bodies fall from the sky, the parking valets are listening to "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" on the radio. However, that song was written for the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and wouldn't be released until October 1969.
Factual error: When the hackers are trying to steal the photo from the woman's laptop, they turn up the TV to distract her. One of them clicks the smart TV icon and starts dragging the slider to increase the volume, which is all well and good, but we then cut to the hacker hammering the up key to increase the volume instead.
Factual error: When Martin Krebs is sitting in traffic, he looks in his driver's side rear view mirror, and the writing "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" is printed in a clear call-back to the first film. However, this repeats the mistake made in the first film: this writing is only on passenger side mirrors.
Factual error: At the end, Hunt emerges from a London Underground station called Trafalgar Square. The station that serves Trafalgar Square is Charing Cross. The spot used for filming is, in reality, a public toilet.
Factual error: In the air battle with the Predator vs the World War 2 planes, Torres figures out the alien is tracking their heat. When he and the other pilot climb high to cool the engines, Torres cuts off his while the other pilot keeps his on. In the Predator's perspective, as soon as Torres kills his engine, the ship disappears from his heat vision. That's not how heat works. It's not just a light switch you can turn on and off. It would take time for the plane to slowly cool off and be invisible. (00:55:15)
Factual error: In the movie, the 1993 Spanish GP was held at the Jerez Circuit, whereas in reality, said GP was held at the Montmeló (Barcelona) circuit.
Factual error: Despite being underwater, the sandwich looks surprisingly fresh - and it even stays perfectly steady on the rock instead of floating away, defying the laws of gravity and physics.
Factual error: Emily tells Stephanie they'll leave at 9 on Wednesday morning. Leaving from Connecticut on a private jet at 9 a.m., you have to account for at least 8-9 hours of flight time, plus the 6-hour time difference, which works against the travelers, not in their favor. So it's absurd that they arrive in the morning - it should be nighttime.
Factual error: Spike is shown having a Power Rangers figure in his bedroom. The only problem is that it's from the Operation Overdrive series, which didn't come out until 2007, five years after the initial outbreak in 2002, isolating the UK from the rest of the outside world as a result.
Factual error: The clock in the mine uses the Roman numeral VI to represent 4. That numeral stands for 6 - it should read IV instead (or IIII, as some clocks do for aesthetic reasons). In fact, there are two VIs on the clock.
Factual error: When the movie starts, "1964" is shown on the screen. After a scary event, Lorraine goes into labour and gives birth to Judy Warren. The real Judy Warren was born in 1946, not 1964. Later, the movie moves to 1986. The movie shows a young Judy (19-20) with a boyfriend. Judy actually met and married her husband, Tony Spera, in 1979 or 1980. The movie showed them being married after 1986.
Factual error: Cell phones aren't allowed to be used inside the CIA headquarters building and other intelligence agencies for security reasons. One of the security guards would have stopped "Auntie" if she attempted to walk through the security turnstiles while on her phone and would have told her to end her conversation, power down her phone, and secure it in her car or in a locker outside of the building before entering. (01:35:55 - 01:36:25)
Factual error: The police are astonished that Joyce and her friends managed to get their hands on the company accounts, since they say they couldn't get them as it is a private company. In actual fact, any private company must by law provide its accounts via the Companies House website, available to anyone to view and download.
Factual error: The film is set in Pennsylvania, but when Aunt Gladys is running through the neighborhood, she runs past a group of palm trees, which do not grow in PA. You can also see tropical, non-native shrubs in front of some of the homes.
Factual error: Anna is referred to as an MA student. At Oxford, an MA is not a qualification for which students can study; rather, Bachelors of Arts (BAs) can be promoted to the rank of Master of Arts (MA), typically upon application, after three or four years after graduation.
Factual error: Air Commodore Cyril Cooke is referred to as Sir Cyril. This is during the war, but he wasn't actually knighted until 1947.
Factual error: A camera feed is labeled as being Dulles International Airport, Concourse B, but the interior shown doesn't match Dulles. The real concourse has tall, open spaces with arched ceilings and different flooring. The scene shows a low-ceiling concourse with a patterned tile floor and escalator layout unlike the actual airport, indicating it was filmed in a different location. (00:01:50)
