Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
1 picture
Directed by: Doug Liman
Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Noah Taylor, Lara Pulver
Factual error: In the opening sequence just before Minute 1, after the asteroid is reported to have hit Hamburg (Germany), it is shown in red how the mimics spread through Europe. But wrongly this spreading is originating from the center of Europe (somewhere in Austria) rather than in Hamburg (on the far north of Germany). You can even see in the next shot how it spreads from Austria to Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, which makes no sense if the origin is supposed to be the far north of Germany. (00:00:55)
Cage: [Being strapped into the power armour] I've never been in one of these before!
Griff: I've never been with two women at once either, but if that day ever comes, I'll make it work.
Trivia: Emily Blunt punches a young soldier when she is walking off a transport. The soldier begins to say, "Bloody hell, it's the full metal bitch." The young soldier is played by Blunt's younger brother, Sebastian.

Answer: It must be either a piece of equipment that someone noticed was in the shot, and tried to move out of the way in time. Or some sort of reference marker for Tom Cruise to take a cue from and point his gun at.
