Aliens (1986)
1 factual error
Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Bill Paxton, Carrie Henn, Lance Henriksen, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Sigourney Weaver
Factual error: The marines' rifles are supposed to fire "standard armor-piercing rounds", which should have done way more damage than producing a few sparks on the frail sheet metal table in the med bay when Hudson shot the face-hugger threatening Newt. "Standard AP rounds" would have pulverized the table and created a huge hole in the wall behind it.
Revealing mistake: When Newt is sliding across the grated floor, Bishop reaches out to save her and you can clearly see he's standing in a hole to make him look cut in half. (02:11:40)
[All ammunition has been confiscated.]
Marine: What are we supposed to use? Harsh language?.
Trivia: The name 'Sulaco' was taken from a novel by Joseph Conrad. The name of the novel? 'Nostromo' of course.
