Factual error: When Benjamin's brother arrives in his car with the bear's fish, he opens the trunk with a remote key. The car is a Mercedes 240 Diesel (to be more precise, a W123 series), built from 1975 to 1986. Mercedes first introduced a remote key system to the W140 series at the beginning of the nineties.

We Bought a Zoo (2011)
1 factual error
Directed by: Cameron Crowe
Starring: Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church
Continuity mistake: A bear escapes from the zoo and Benjamin finds him in the woods. The bear knocks the gun from Benjamin's hands, then faces him and growls. In the close-up, Benjamin's hair is blowing, presumably from the force of the growl, but in the preceding and following long shots, his hair is motionless.
Benjamin Mee: You seem really calm.
Peter MacCready: Ah.
Benjamin Mee: Have you been drinking?
Peter MacCready: All night long.
Benjamin Mee: Thanks for that.
Peter MacCready: Anytime.
