The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: The newest found survivor is a 7 Foxtrot. McCord Identifies Echo generation product as being 3 years old. This means that Foxtrot would be 2 years old, Golf would be 1 year old. According to this, the newly born product should be a 7 Hotel.

Correction: This misconception about the naming conventions has been corrected many many many times. No where in the movie is the naming spelled out. They were free to name any of the products after any of the signs.

Correction: Once again, they can name the clones whatever they want. Nowhere in the movie did they spell out the naming conventions that they used. "Mistakes" of this naming kind have been submitted and corrected many times before.

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: When Starkweather Two Delta is enjoying his lottery win, he reveals that he is only 6 months old, yet according to McCord, the Delta generation is 4 years old.

Correction: He may have only been in the facility for 6 months, but that doesn't mean he isn't older. Remember, they have to get the DNA sample, grow the "product", implant memories, and who knows what else. McCord was on the inside of the plan, so he knows what's going on. It's highly likely that he was refering to the fact that Starkweather had been "birthed" 4 years aog, and Starkweather was just refering to the (remembered) time that he'd been in the facility.

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: When the police are taking Lincoln and Jordan to the police station, they officer driving stops in the middle of the intersection, making a perfect target to be broadsided by the armored car. He did not stop for a pedestrian, as they were crossing on the cross street, and from the way the driver was staring straight ahead, it is not likely he was making a turn.

Correction: He was waiting to make a left turn when the armored car hit them. When I make a left hand turn I look straight ahead at the oncoming traffic and look for an opening, just like the driver was doing.

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: At the train station, McCord comes back with two tickets he has bought for Lincoln Six-Echo and Jordan Two-Delta and then he goes to buy a map. After he got shot, one of the shooters sees that McCord's card is missing. Then they find out that it's been used to buy the train tickets. But McCord already gave his card to Lincoln Six-Echo in the car, driving to the station. (01:08:40)

Correction: McCord was with them the whole time, I'm sure Lincoln could have handed the card to McCord so that he could go and buy tickets.

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: Why would Lincoln and Jordan be baffled at the concept of little people when they encounter children at the train station? They've been implanted with childhood memories, so they know what children would be.

Correction: There are no children inside the facility, so this would be the first time they've seen them physically, in real life.
