Corrected entry: Doolittle says they travelled 14 light years to get to the Magellanic clouds. These 2 galaxies are really about 170,000 light years away. (00:07:30)
Dark Star (1974)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Dan O'Bannon, Brian Narelle, Cal Kuniholm, Dre Pahich
Factual error: In the scene right after pinback shoots the beach-ball alien, we see the Dark Star space craft cruising past a planet with a sun in the background. You can see a reflection on the planet which is coming from the space craft. I'm sorry, but usually ships in space are not large enough to reflect off a planet, especially to the degree this one does. (00:48:20)
Bomb#20: In the beginning, there was darkness. And the darkness was without form, and void.
Boiler: What the hell is he talking about?
Bomb#20: And in addition to the darkness there was also me. And I moved upon the face of the darkness. And I saw that I was alone. Let there be light.

Question: On the death of Commander Powell, wouldn't Lieutenant Doolittle have been promoted to commander?
Answer: Just because he was forced to take command doesn't guarantee him a promotion.
Correction: He didn't say he travelled 14 light years from Earth. We have no idea where his starting point was - it could have been anywhere in the Universe.
