Due Date

Factual error: In the scene where Peter & Ethan are traveling across Texas on I-120 the train reads Union Pacific, but Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) is the one that runs that track.

Factual error: When Ethan is driving through Texas while Peter is sleeping; the camera shows a Texas Highway traffic marker that reads: "Dallas 36 Miles." In the same camera shot, we see mountainous terrain in the background; followed by additional camera shots that show more mountainous terrain as they travel on the highway before crashing off the overpass. The problem is that there is no mountainous terrain 36 miles outside of Dallas, Texas; it's pretty much flatland.

Factual error: After the truck drives over the drainage ditch and Peter tells Ethan not to tense up, there's a sign pointing to I-75, 8 miles away. At this point they are in Texas. I-75 runs north through Georgia (from Florida to Michigan) and is nowhere near Texas.

Factual error: When we see Ethan's driver's license, the expiry date is wrong. The month and day should be the same as his birthday, not the exam date.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Peter (Robert Downey, Jr.) is drinking the energy drink in the petrol station, the angle of the bottle changes. From the profile shot, the label can be seen with the brand visible, but cut to the front-view and you can see that the bottle has completely shifted angles.

Ethan Tremblay: Okay. I've heard that before, and I'm trying to work on it, okay?
