Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Factual error: When Ron and Freddie have breakfast in the diner, Trivial Pursuit cards are seen on the table. The game was first sold in 1982, but the movie is set in 1980.

Factual error: When Ron starts to fume at Jack Lime; Tony Montana, from Scarface, is seeing shooting his gun, in Ron's eyes. However, Scarface (and thus Tony Montana) didn't come out till 1983 and this takes place in 1980.

Other mistake: Ron supposedly always reads exactly what the teleprompter says. However, for his first newscast for GNN the teleprompter reads "Good evening America," and Ron says "Hello America."

Trivia: Netflix uses the International Theatrical Version of the film (which they tend to do a lot), that cuts a few jokes or changes some scenes from the US Theatrical Version. For example, instead of Tony Montana from "Scarface" in Ron's eyes, it's Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) from "Bloodsport", which is also a mistake since the film came out in 1988.
