Colombiana

Factual error: The beginning of the movie is set in 1992. The father gives the daughter an SD card. SD cards were not on the market until 2000's. The only portable media cards available were Compact Flash and Smart Media, which are much larger. She later swallows it for safekeeping which she wouldn't be able to do with earlier cards due to size. (00:05:05)

Factual error: When Cataleya shoots at the CIA agent through the window while on the phone with Ross, immediately after getting the information she wants she hangs up on Ross and his phone starts emitting a landlines "Off-hook" tone - which is impossible on a cell phone. (01:23:18)

Il Duce

Factual error: When Cattleya escapes through the sewer drain and winds up in front of the U.S. Embassy, she uncovers the manhole all by herself. Impossible for such a young child to do.

Factual error: In the office of the CIA agent on the wall behind the desk is a picture of President Obama but this part of the film is set in 2007, when George W Bush was president.

Mistakes

Character mistake: The actor who played FBI agent Ross is Lennie James, who is an English actor. When they are searching for the girl in the parking garage of her building, he orders the SWAT team and other agents to search everywhere, under the cars and to "check the boots." He says this twice. Boot is the British term for trunk. He should be telling them to check the trunks of the cars, not the boots.
