Pretty Woman (1990)

Correction: The Director's commentary on the DVD states that this is a widely believed, but incorrect observation; Julia Robert's body was used for all the shots in the film.

The Descent (2005)

Corrected entry: In order for there to be a gene pool diverse enough to allow the creatures to breed successfully for more than a few generations there would needs to be hundreds of them. From their eating habits they are primarily carnivores. It is highly unlikely that there would be enough food for a population of this size within range of the caves.

Correction: Although it isn't ideal, species are in fact able to exist whilst lacking a diverse genepool. Indeed a number of species exist today that are descended from either a single breeding pair or a very small number of individuals. Examples include the Golden Hamster, of which the vast majority are now descended from a single litter, and Cheetahs, who are now all descended from a small number of individuals who managed to survive extinction and indeed are now highly genetically inbred. The creatures in the caves could therefore easily have all been descendants of very few indivduals.
