Revealing mistake: In one of the first scenes, one of the characters is standing with an umbrella close to a landing helicopter - without the umbrella being the least affected by the wind.

Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi
Factual error: The coastal wall in Sydney is shown as being inside the Sydney Harbour (right next to the Opera House). But Sydney Harbour is not on the Pacific coast but a part of the Parramatta river, several kilometres from the ocean (where the wall should have been). So the wall is either not shielding the northern part of Australia or (more likely) the producers decided that the audience cannot tell that it is Sydney unless we see the Opera House.

Suggested correction: This entry is wrong. According to the world-building of the universe, the area that would need the wall was destroyed by a previous kaiju attack, meaning that nobody would live there; thus, there is no need for a wall.
Stacker Pentecost: Today at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time. We have chosen to believe in each other. Today we face the monsters that are at our door, today we are cancelling the apocalypse!
Trivia: Although they play father and son, Max Martini is only fourteen years older than Robert Kazinsky.
