Die Another Day (2002)

Trivia: When Bond infiltrates the Cuban island hospital, as he enters through a patient's room he grabs a grape from a bowl on the bed-tray. This references a scene from Thunderball when Bond grabbed a grape as he left a baddie's bedroom after looking around.

Trivia: The film contains several references to the 1980s animated series. The basic plot of the Decepticons enslaving humanity and using a space bridge to bring Cybertron to Earth was used in the three-part episode "The Ultimate Doom." Megatron sits in the chair of the Lincoln Memorial in "Atlantis, Arise!" And Optimus Prime's battle axe was first seen in "More Than Meets the Eye," the three-part debut of the animated series.

TRON: Legacy (2010)

Trivia: In the first film, the street sign outside Flynn's Arcade indicates it's on Watseka St. In the second film, the street sign in front indicates the arcade is on Mead St. Also, the surrounding neighborhood seems to have undergone some redevelopment. This isn't really a mistake since a lot can happen in 28 years.

Apollo 13 (1995)

Trivia: During the broadcast, Fred starts playing the song "Spirit in the Sky," and Jim mentions it should have been the theme from "2001." In real life, the crew actually did play the theme from "2001." In this case, the film was joking about altering history for artistic purposes.
