Corrected entry: At the last supper, the Passover menorah used has seven candles (six candles plus a "shamash," the center candle use to light the others) An actual menorah should have nine candles (eight for the eight nights of Passover, plus the shamash).
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey, Paul Greco, Steve Shill
Genres: Drama
Factual error: The film was wholly filmed in Morocco, where the scenery, architecture and geography is wholly different to Israel. All the extras are also Moroccans, who look wholly different and wear different clothing to people from Israel (and would have looked equally different in the first century AD). Many extras were members of the Berber community. Berbers have a long tradition of being tattooed, so many extras showed prominent tattoos. But Jews have a traditional aversion to being tattooed, as per Leviticus 19:28.

Correction: This entry is wrong. A menorah (any menorah) has seven branches. The candelabra with nine branches is properly called a Hanukkiah, and is used only for Hanukkah, not for Passover or any other time.
