Red Sparrow

Other mistake: Dominica breaks her left leg and then holds her crutch (and the golf club) in her left hand. This is a frequent Hollywood mistake. If you are using a walking stick or a crutch, you hold it on the strong side, then the natural swing keeps it in sync with the injured leg and improves balance.

Other mistake: During the CIA interrogation Simon's wrist watch shows the time as appropriately 4:25 but the clock in the wall in the same room above him shows the time as appropriately 10:25. (00:39:00)

Suggested correction: So he had his watch on a different time zone. Not implausible in his line of work, and 6 hours is certainly consistent with the difference between the various US and European time zones involved in the story. Character choice or mistake.

Good point about the time difference.

Factual error: The helicopter used during the exchange is a Mi2, which has not been in service with the Russians since the 1970s.

Question: Wouldn't her freshly bleached hair go green from the chlorine?

Answer: Chlorine can turn bleached blonde hair a shade of green. Pouring apple cider vinegar over hair before swimming can help prevent it changing. However, being as this is a movie, realistic details like this are ignored for the sake of storytelling.
