Factual error: The ambulance in the museum robbery scene has the registration number LD59 QQI. In the UK Q is never used within a registration number, only as a prefix for particular vehicles, for example kit cars. The letter I is also never used in any part of a registration number as it can be confused with a 1. (00:19:07)

Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the film: Killmonger is about to kill Shuri at the top of the mine shaft and Shuri is backing up. Her elbow goes over the edge, but in the next shot which is from over Killmonger's shoulder looking down at her, she is at least a foot away from the edge.
T'Challa: What do you want?
Erik Killmonger: I want the throne.
Question: When Zuri disarmed Killmonger, why didn't he kill him? That would've been a lot smarter than letting him kill him. He easily could've done it.
Answer: Zuri feels guilty for his role in the death of Killmonger's father, which is why he tells Killmonger to kill him instead of T'Challa. While Zuri himself probably doesn't actually want to die, I don't think he wants Killmonger dead either, which is why he wouldn't kill him. Also, as a royal advisor, it would probably be looked down upon by the other tribes if he violated the rules of the ritual combat. After all, one combatant has to defeat the other in order to rightfully claim the throne.
Zuri may not want Killmonger to die, but he knew that the duel would only end once one of the contestants would either surrender or die, meaning Killmonger would stil win or kill T'Challa. It seems a rather low price to be looked down upon or fired if it means your country doesn't go to war. At least, that would be a small price to pay for keeping the peace.

Suggested correction: Sounds like this is merely similar to phone numbers starting with 555 or impossible IP addresses in films.

No, this would by like having a phone number start with 5Q5 and impossible IPs are valid mistakes.
