Tower Heist (2011)
1 character mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Brett Ratner
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Alan Alda
Factual error: As an attorney, I know that one doesn't become an attorney three days after passing the Bar Exam in NY, as Miss Lovenko claims at the end of the movie. She first would have to be approved before the Character Committee, submit Letters of Recommendation of Good Character, and her background would have to be checked. If approved, she would have to wait be sworn in by an Appellate Division Judge, which is about a 6 month process, not 3 days. (01:35:25)
Slide: A robbery can change very quickly. You have to be ready to adapt to the situation at any moment. Anything can happen. I was on a job a few days ago and my homie got shot in the face.
Josh Kovacs: If you get shot in the face, it's over.
Slide: If you get shot in your head, it's over. If you get shot in your face, the bullet will go through your cheek and come out the other side! Then, what you gonna do?
Cole Howard: Die! We're all gonna die.
Trivia: When Odessa runs down the FBI agent with her cart she shouts, "bumbaclot!", a vulgar insult in Jamaican English, but means nothing in the United States. (01:09:20)
