Factual error: Mount Fuji lies near Tokyo. Yet you see Mount Fuji from the train between Nagoya and Kyoto. That is not possible.
Factual error: The real bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto only takes about 2 hours, rather than all night like the movie depicts.
Factual error: There's an early establishment of Tokyo, taken at street level, of a bullet train travelling left to right on a bridge above a street. This is immediately due west of Akihabara station and any image search will quickly confirm this. Only local commuter trains use this bridge. Also, no trains on that bridge go to Tokyo. The bridge runs east-west. Akihabara station is close to and directly north of Tokyo station, meaning any such train has an immediate 90 degree turn just right off screen. (00:07:25)
Factual error: A front view of the "Boonslang" snake with its mouth open shows fangs in front, but a Boonslang snake has back - or rear-fangs, meaning they are located further back in the mouth (near the jaw). The fangs should be below the snake's eyes, not near its nose. (01:11:15)
Factual error: In one scene a phone call states that boomslang venom was used to kill a person. The caller states that the venom congeals the blood, makes a person exude blood from every orifice, and if an antidote is not administered in 30 seconds you are dead. A lot of this is wrong. The venom does make you eventually bleed profusely, but you have a 24-48 hour window to administer antivenom, and if it congealed the blood, it means it would make the blood clot, not make the person bleed. (00:54:50)
Suggested correction: Although I agree that "A lot of this is wrong", I don't entirely agree with your rationale and/or wording. It can take 24-48 hours (or even up to 5 days) to succumb to the Boonslang's bite, so I don't believe you have a 24-48 hour window to administer antivenom"; it would be too late to prevent death. "If it congealed the blood, it means it would make the blood clot, not make the person bleed" - yes and no. Venom causes both coagulation and hemorrhaging but in different areas of the body.
I used the information on the National Institutes of Health, nih.gov. I quote: "Traditionally, it has been taught that there is a window period of 24-48 h after a Boomslang bite to administer antivenom."
Antivenom is at least worth a try.
"Coagulation" is the preferred term when referring to blood. Although "congealed" is used, congealed typically refers to food substances that gel or harden.
I used the quotes given by the actors in the program. Congealed is what they said. Yet they also said the victim would bleed out. Confusing. Thanks for the info.
I was clarifying my substitution of the word "coagulation" for "congealed", not criticizing your usage of "congealed" (the word that was used in the movie). Yes, it is confusing! (You're welcome).
Factual error: During a fight, a person is thrown against a glass partition window and the glass shatters. Trains use toughened safety glass in their construction and would not shatter like that.
