The Five W's - S1-E2
Character mistake: Ned shows the staff three of his favourite headlines run by the 'Toledo Truth Teller' over the years, the first being "Shepard Orbits the Earth!"; the front-page photos indicate it's Alan Shepard's 1961 Mercury flight. However, that flight was famously sub-orbital, so the headline is factually incorrect.

Character mistake: In arguing Alan Shore should be fired, Paul Lewiston says he conducts himself disreputably at every firm he's worked for, and that his last firm sued him. This would seem to be a reference to the final season of "The Practice." However, it was Alan who was the one to sue Young, Frutt and Berluti, claiming wrongful termination. In fact, the reason Alan is even associated with Crane, Poole and Schmidt to begin with is because they're the firm he hired to sue YFB, leading to Denny offering him a job.

Still Crazy After All These Years - S1-E2
Character mistake: Speaking to Denny Crane, Paul Lewiston brings up how they had ringside seats to what he says was Muhammad Ali's last fight. Lewiston recalls Ali losing to Larry Holmes, which would be the Oct. 2, 1980 fight. However, Ali's final fight was against Trevor Berbick, a loss via decision in 10 rounds, Dec. 11, 1981. (00:37:15)

Convictions - S7-E2
Character mistake: In the previous episode, Bernice was arrested because the police thought she was Jimmy's client, and Eugene wouldn't allow him to refute that, since it would reveal the true kidnapper, their client, is still out there. In this episode, with Jimmy now representing Bernice, he admits in court she wasn't his client, but despite Eugene's concerns the cops don't put two and two together and continue to pressure Jimmy to reveal the real kidnapper, who resolves the story herself by coming forward.

Character mistake: While testifying during his murder trial, George Vogelman says that he's gone on dates but has never been in a relationship. However, when he sued Ellenor during season 2's "Sex, Lies and Monkeys," he says they discussed his first marriage and his kids, which contradicts his later testimony. While it's certainly possible he could have been lying about having a family, that would mean he was lying to Ellenor about it, but as his lawyer, she takes him at his word as if he didn't have a history of lying.

Character mistake: At the beginning of the film, while packing, Angus justifies why he has a swimsuit that looks like woman's underwear by claiming it's the swimsuit James Bond wore in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service,' which, in the timeline of the film, had just come out a year earlier in 1969. Except, Bond doesn't wear a swimsuit in any scenes in that film, let alone a Speedo. Angus may have been boasting (lying) to deflect criticism, but he's still wrong.

Character mistake: When recruiting Burt to help repel the Graboid attack in the arctic, one of the team members says he's ideal for the job because of his experience hunting them on two continents, a reference to the first two films (Nevada and Mexico in North America) and Tremors 5 (Africa). However, this repeats the mistake in Tremors 5 in overlooking the Argentina incursion stopped by Burt at the beginning of Tremors 3, which gives him experience fighting Graboids/Shriekers/Ass-Blasters on three continents, not two. Burt, himself having overlooked Argentina in Tremors 5, does not correct her. And it's not as if the film is completely ignoring Tremors 3, since it shows the flashback of Burt being swallowed by a Graboid in that movie, which is how he got infected with the deadly parasite killing him here.
4th Feb 2021
Character mistake: In his opening prologue, Burt says the Graboids have been contained to the Northern Hemisphere, showing a map highlighting the Graboid attacks of the first film in Nevada and the second film in Mexico. However, it overlooks the Graboid/Shrieker attack in Argentina, in the Southern hemisphere, shown at the beginning of Tremors 3, an incursion Burt personally put down. It's not like it was classified - characters in that movie talk about it being reported by CNN, and characters in the Tremors TV series talk about it as well. And it's not like Tremors 3 is no longer canon, since Burt makes two references to being swallowed by the Graboid in that movie (which also becomes a plot point in Tremors 6).

Character mistake: The Rufus hologram states that he first brought the phone booth to the Chosen Ones (Bill and Ted) in 1989, referencing events of the original film. While that was the year the first movie came out, it took place in 1988 (indicated by the opening title card and dialogue throughout the movie).
16th Nov 2019
Character mistake: Cliff tests Norm's memory by asking him who the bad guy in 'Herbie The Love Bug' was (presumably meaning the first movie, which was just 'The Love Bug, ' no Herbie in the title, and not the TV series that actually had the 'Herbie, the Love Bug' title). Norm answers Keenan Wynn, and is told by Cliff that is correct and that his memory is OK. Wynn was the antagonist in the second movie, 'Herbie Rides Again' (reprising his role from the 'Absent-Minded Professor'). The bad guy in 'The Love Bug' was played by David Tomlinson of 'Mary Poppins' fame.

Character mistake: At the end of the movie, the rescue plane changes its callsign to Air Force One because the protocol is "Air Force One" is the callsign for any U.S. military plane (or, more specifically, an Air Force Plane) with the President on board, not just the blue and white 747. Thus, it would not be used for a plane on which the president is not on board. This is an important detail considering that for most of the middle section of the film, the terrorists believe the president has escaped and that they are dealing with a random secret service agent resisting them. The vice president and other administration officials dealing with the terrorists don't want them to know the president is still on board, as it could motivate the terrorists to threaten his family further. So, when the fuel tanker shows up to refuel the plane and addresses it as "Air Force One" to give instructions on the procedure, they are inadvertently confirming that the president is on board. To maintain the ruse, they should use the callsign "SAM-28000" or "Air Force 28000" when talking to the terrorists, referring to the plane's tail number. Similarly, any time an official makes a statement about the incident in public, they could refer to the plane as "28000" to keep up the ruse to the press (though it's not uncommon to refer to the 747s as "Air Force One" for the sake of simplicity in casual or non-official capacities, an instance of one plane communicating with another would not be).
2nd Nov 2017
Character mistake: When discussing the potential fallout of ousting the new president, Douglas says that because there's no vice president that according to the 25th Amendment the Speaker of the House is next in line. Not true. The Amendment itself is silent on the order of succession after the Vice President. The Constitution leaves the order of succession after that up to Congress, and the Speaker of the House is listed according to the Succession Act of 1947, not the 25th Amendment.
24th Feb 2010
Character mistake: Early in the film in the scene in which Precious is in math class just before being called to talk to the principal, on the blackboard someone, presumably the teacher, has written REQUIRMENT, which is a misspelling of "requirement"
