The Bourne Identity (2002)
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, there are countless references to the incident early in the movie at the U.S. Embassy in Zurich. Neither the U.S. nor any other country maintains an embassy in Zurich. The capital of Switzerland is Bern. Since most of the characters in the movie work for the U.S. government, they would surely know the difference between an embassy and a consulate. (00:27:34)
Correction: There are actually only two references to the incident at the consulate. The first one is made by Bourne who does call it an embassy but in his state it might just be a generalisation, and the second one is made by Ward Abbott who correctly identifies the location of the incident as a consulate.
If you mean the scene right after the consulate when he approaches Marie in the alleyway by her car, he does call it the consulate.

American Hustle (2013)
Corrected entry: When De Nero is asking the "Sheik" questions in Arabic, one of the FBI undercover guys rescues him by acting drunk and interrupting the meeting. At that point they whisk the Sheik away. In a following scene, he's still at the table.
Correction: I have watched the scene twice now and there is no evidence of anyone leaving the table when the FBI guy interrupts.

Shooter (2007)
Corrected entry: Right after Swagger takes the first shot at the helicopter with his M82A1, we see him from behind reaching his hand to reload the rifle. We hear a metallic sound of reloading but if you look carefully, his hand doesn't even touch the cocking handle.
Correction: The M82A1 is recoil-operated, which means he wouldn't have to reach for the cocking handle unless he inserted a new magazine, which he doesn't. In one scene it's even possible to see the gun operating and ejecting a shell. Why he would constantly reach for the cocking handle is beyond me.
The blanks used during filming had insufficient energy to cycle the bolt, therefore, he was required to cycle manually.

Firefly (2002)
Corrected entry: When the man known as "William Cortland" is caught carrying a gun by the laser grid, it appears to be in his breast pocket. But when he hands it over, it's on his belt.
Correction: The gun he's carrying is not in his belt, but in the lower left pocket of his vest, which seems to be about the same height as the breast pocket of his suit coat.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Corrected entry: In the London scene where Reed ties the ferris wheel in place he accidentally touches Johnny and inherits his power. However, when they switch back again Reed still has his body suit intact even though it was enough to burn Sue naked earlier in the movie. The capability of their suits are only immune to their specific powers.
Correction: It is implied in the first movie that all of their suits are capable of withstanding each of their abilities. That means that in the London scene Reed's as well as Johnny's suit remain intact despite inheriting the other's power. As far as the other scene is concerned Sue wasn't wearing her suit when she accidentally swapped powers with Johnny so her normal clothes obviously burned away.

Angels & Demons
Corrected entry: When Langdon, Vittoria, Ollivetti and a Swiss guard driver are in the car, the driver says "My wife and I -" before being cut off by Ollivetti, but in an earlier chapter the book states that Swiss Guard must be unmarried.
Correction: This is not entirely true. Swiss soldiers must be unmarried to enter into service with the Pontifical Swiss Guard. After that they are allowed to marry and, when married, are even eligible for an apartment inside Vatican City. From their own recruitment page: "To be allowed to marry Guards must be at least 25, have served for at least three years, commit themselves to serving for another three years and have at least the rank of Corporal."
