The Godfather

Plot hole: When Michael is punched, the Don has just been shot and is near death. A gang war ensues and progresses. The Don recovers enough to be brought home. Michael moves to Italy, meets, courts, and marries his girl. Sonny is killed. Michael's wife learns to drive and is assassinated - and still, Michael has very visible remains of his black eye. Way too much time must have passed for this to be possible.

Factual error: In the scene when Michael visits his father in the hospital in 1945 there's a NYC Fire Dept. sign on the wall with the name of the Commissioner, Robert O. Lowery, who was commissioner from 1966 to 1973.

They remain the only two actors to win Oscars for playing the same character. Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix both won for playing the Joker, but not really the same character, given the very different films and portrayals.
