The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Firebrand - S3-E2
Factual error: The amount of explosives detonated in the wagon should have blown it to toothpicks, not left intact with just the canopy blown off.

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Kraken - S4-E6
Factual error: West and Artie are trying to move a cabinet from the wall. A closeup shot shows West's left hand entering from the right side of the shot to press a button that allows a secret panel to open. Unless West twisted his left hand 180°, then him pressing the button as shown is not possible.

Yellowbeard (1983)
Factual error: The ship cannons do not recoil when fired during the naval battle.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964)
Factual error: Captain Crane's periscope view of the boat accident survivor is an overhead and down view, while a real periscope view would be level with the ocean surface.

Jonny Quest (1964)
Factual error: Semi-automatic pistols, rifles and fully-automatic rifles and machine guns never eject spent shell casings in the show.

Men in War (1957)
Factual error: The Sergeant reminds the Lieutenant it is 0500 hours, but the scene shows a very bright mid-day, not early morning.

Men in War (1957)
Factual error: The G.I.s are an army unit, but are wearing United States Marine Corps uniforms.

Star Trek (1966)
Factual error: Kirk, McCoy, and Spock are chained to the dungeon wall, with McCoy noticing he is next to a skeleton, also chained. This is incorrect, as a skeleton's bones are held together by cartilage, which would rot over time. Therefore, the skeleton would not be hanging intact, but would be a pile of bones on the floor.

Suggested correction: As we learn in the episode, the 2 aliens created the entire castle only recently to appeal to the human's primal fears and superstitions. A pile of bones on the floor would not have the frightening impact of a hanging skeleton.

Battle of the Bulge (1965)
Factual error: At German Army headquarters, the General tells Hessler of the new Tiger tanks that will be used in the offensive, which takes place mid-December 1944. Presumably, these are the Tiger II (King or Royal Tiger) models. At this point in the war, "King" Tigers were not new, having fought against the British and Canadians in Normandy back in July of 1944, and against the Americans at Aachen in September of 1944.

Men in War (1957)
Factual error: Montana introduces himself as Sergeant First Class Montana, but his helmet and sleeve insignia shows the rank of Staff Sergeant.

The Outer Limits (1995)
Factual error: The episode has Mona Lisa and Teddy traveling to Yakima, Washington, showing green, tree covered hills. Yakima is in the middle of the Washington State desert, so the topography would be mostly flat, desert terrain, with yellow and brown colors.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Don't think you have ever been to Yakima because Yakima is surrounded by hills and the only part that is flat is in the valley and Terrace Heights. I live in Yakima, and the map they showed of E Yakima Ave and Chestnut Ave and filming is wrong, though, because that area of the map is mostly neighborhoods, small businesses, and mini-marts. No trailer parks with a bridge nearby that has hills behind it in that area.

The Rat Patrol (1966)
The Darers Go First Raid - S2-E4
Factual error: Sgt. Moffitt takes the controls of the tank and the steering mechanism looks like a "tricycle" type. The Sherman model used in this episode actually used left and right lateral stick controls, not a tricycle or "T-Bar" control.
28th Mar 2016
The Rat Patrol (1966)
The David and Goliath Raid - S2-E2
Factual error: Some of Dietrich's command vehicles have license plates that begin with the letters "WL", denoting German Luftwaffe (Air Force), rather than "WH", which denotes Wehrmacht (Army), of which the Deutsche Afrika Korps were a part. Dietrich is not part of the Luftwaffe's "Ramcke Brigade" which also served in North Arfrica - he is Deutsche Afrika Korps (again, part of the regular German Army).

Which Way To The Front? (1970)
Factual error: The "Peace" symbol that adorns the uniforms of Byer's men did not come about until the late 1950's.
22nd Mar 2016
Which Way To The Front? (1970)
Factual error: For being set in 1943, the hair and clothing styles are definitely late 1960's fashion.

The Young Messiah (2016)
Factual error: A few scenes in the movie show Roman cavalrymen using stirrups, which were not used by the Romans until several centuries later.
11th Mar 2016
Underground (2016)
Factual error: "Underground" is set in 1857 Georgia, yet the padded baseball glove August Pullman gives to his son is of a type used during the early 20th century. Before 1883 when padded gloves were first manufactured, gloves were either not used by baseball players or railroad brakeman's gloves were used.

Night Gallery (1970)
Factual error: There is no entry hole in the tree branches covering the pit where the gorilla fell through. A gorilla that size would have punched a large hole through the branches.

Fury (2014)
Factual error: During the final battle, Gordo the tank driver calls out, "Panzerfaust, four o'clock!", as he looks through his periscope. He could not have seen any targets at four o'clock, as the driver's periscope could barely rotate towards the eleven and one o'clock positions, close to the left and right front corners of the tank's hull. The four o'clock position would be near the right rear of the tank.
