Nerve (2016)

Factual error: The email Vee gets at the start is dated 2017, and calls for her to become part of the class of 2020. If she went to CalArts in September of 2017, she would be part of the class of 2021. (00:01:05)

Iced - S3-E19

Factual error: McGee is seen trying to trace the SMS/email and we see a brief glimpse of the screen when he says he's found the IP address. The address is 112.191.61.2913. Impossible as an IP never goes over 255. (00:31:00)

Thorpe Park - S1-E3

Factual error: The same number plate can be seen on two different vehicles in this episode. The registration M483LTH can be seen on the hearse and then on Simon's car when parking. No two vehicles in the UK will ever share a number plate. (00:11:10 - 00:12:30)

Factual error: Dr Lamb is about to use the electrotherapy on Newgate. As he approaches Newgate, the electrodes spark as though the switch has been flipped to engage the electricity. Lamb then puts both electrodes into one hand, but there is no reaction as there should have been with the electrodes connecting.

Ssiscool

Factual error: Newgate makes a reference to Mickey Finn's name being the same as that of a Chicago bartender who used to drug his patrons with knockout drops. However, the film is set in 1899, but the real Mickey Finn wasn't caught until 1903.

Factual error: The film is set in 1987 and Eddie ends up in hospital. However on the wall on at least one occasion is a modern hand sanitizer, not available in 1987.

Factual error: We see the mob boss at the start shoot a man from inside the SUV with a shotgun. However, the windscreen doesn't get affected in any way. A shotgun blast in a confined space has a spray and would have hit the glass. (00:02:30)

Saw VI (2009)

Factual error: We see Hoffman has to use pliers and force to remove Strahm's hand from the grill. However, since the hand is freshly severed, rigor mortis would not have set in, and he should have been able to remove it with ease. (01:09:30)

Furious 7 (2015)

Factual error: Hobbs gets the mini gun off the drone. He then proceeds to shoot down the helicopter. Being a mounted mini gun, there should be no way he can fire the gun manually. (01:51:45)

Furious 7 (2015)

Factual error: Brian, when confronted with the drone for the first time, goes "old school" by driving under the lorry trailer. However, trailers don't have anywhere near enough ground clearance for that car to fit, no matter how much the car suspension was lowered. It only works here because the trailer has been artificially lifted. (01:34:25)

Furious 7 (2015)

Factual error: When the house explodes, there is a massive explosion and fireball that creates a pressure wave strong enough to send Brian flying into the van. However, not a single window breaks on the houses just feet from the explosion. (00:15:40)

Factual error: At the end we see a soldier replacing the canister that the Zyklon B is kept in. However, he is not wearing an SS badge as all SS soldiers did. Zyklon B was only handled by members of the SS, as no other unit had authorisation to carry the sensitive stuff. (01:28:00)
