Factual error: Morris manages to rake up 5 million pounds in cash. Even if they all were £50 notes (which they aren't, there are at least 3 different denominations in the props), there still would be 100,000 of them, much more than what the little bag they empty in 3 handfuls could contain.

Charleston (1977)
1 factual error
Directed by: Marcello Fondato
Starring: Herbert Lom, Bud Spencer, Dino Emanuelli, Jack La Cayenne
Genres: Comedy
Plot hole: The whole premise of the movie hinges on the fact that someone is going to try to buy the ship off James Coco for 3 millions, to try and sell it for 5 to Morris, who put a false ad on the newspaper but he's gonna hightail after. First; it's unclear how whoever checks out of the ad with the 5 million offer is going to be aware that Joe Lo Monaco has a ship for sale for 3 mil; he did not put an ad out himself, and who checks out of the morning paper looking for multimillionaire bargains on ocean liners? It's something entirely out of their league for the gang of small crooks shown in the movie and that Charleston ends up helping. Even more absurd is the fact that Morris plans to disappear after the 'sting', but he is running it with his own real name and in London, where he works as a high profile lawyer. Not the kind of person who can and would just 'disappear' into thin air, especially when the sting could have been done in any other part of the world.
