The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Factual error: When Wolverine tears off the man's car door, he does so by putting his hands inside the spaces between the car door and the car's body. Those spaces are way too narrow for a person to fit their fingers inside. (00:03:25)
11th Apr 2015
Factual error: Even though Xavier is a paraplegic, you can see him freely moving his legs when the astronaut helps him out of his seat and walk over to Beast. (00:04:20)
11th Apr 2015
Factual error: When Rogue attempts to correct the space shuttle's flight path, she has to let go because of the intense heat due to re-entry. Indeed, a temperature as hot as a shuttle in re-entry (upwards of 3,000° F) would have completely melted through her gloves, yet when she lets go, they only have a little smoke coming off them. (00:03:40)
10th Apr 2015
Factual error: The Moon is more than 230,000 miles away from Earth, yet in a shot of Asteroid M just outside of Earth's orbit, the Moon is right there as well. (00:15:50)
8th Apr 2015
Factual error: When Moira is calling her ex-husband Joe in Edinburgh from the Blackbird phone, she dials a typical U.S. seven-digit phone number (it looks like she dials 555-1238). However, even assuming she wouldn't be required to dial an exit code from the Blackbird, a typical Edinburgh phone number would have more digits, along the lines of +44-131-XXX-XXXX. (00:16:50)
26th Feb 2015
Weapon X, Lies, and Video Tape - S3-E19
Factual error: Beast inserts the video tape into the VCR upside-down. (00:13:00)
12th Feb 2015
Savage Land, Strange Heart (2) - S3-E9
Factual error: The amount of rubble that falls on Storm and buries her should have crushed her to death. (00:18:30 - 00:19:20)
12th Feb 2015
Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8
Factual error: The amount of rubble that falls onto Sauron would have easily killed him, as his mutant powers do not include the ability to be impervious to heavy damage. (00:18:30)
8th Oct 2014
Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7
Factual error: Costumed superheroes notwithstanding, Bishop wouldn't be allowed to bring his gun into the United States Capitol. (00:14:40 - 00:16:10)
18th Jul 2014
Factual error: Neither Willie nor the human sacrifice victim show signs of significant perspiration when being lowered to the lava. They should have been sweating profusely after being close to the lava.
18th Jul 2014
Factual error: Indy rescues Willie from the lava pit and immediately releases her from the cage. In reality the cage would be too hot to touch for several minutes after being that close to the lava.
3rd Jun 2014
Factual error: When Charles Barkley says "Welcome to the NBA" after dunking on Mark, the ceiling shown above Barkley is way too low to be the ceiling for Haas Pavilion at UC Berkley where the game is being played. It only appears to be about 30 feet high.
26th May 2014
Factual error: After Vanessa falls out of the boat and climbs back in, her clothes and hair are only damp whereas she should have been dripping wet after falling into a lake. (00:16:47)
1st Apr 2014
Factual error: Area 51 is located in southern Nevada (the movie acknowledges this), but the security gate that Steve Hiller enters through is shown to be in the Bonneville Salt Flats, which are located hundreds of miles away in northwestern Utah.
2nd Mar 2014
Factual error: Russ Tyler's game-tying goal at the end of regulation in the championship game is preceded by several implausibilities and rule infractions that effectively would have nullified the goal. Firstly, not only is it against the rules to switch jerseys with another player (he is visibly wearing Goldberg's jersey), but there is no way he could have put on all the goalie pads in the 30-second time out. Secondly, he removes his helmet. When a goalie's helmet is removed during play, the game will be stopped and the goalie will be given a delay of game penalty if he intentionally removed it. And lastly, he skates all the way to center ice to take his shot. Not only do the players for the supposedly highly talented Iceland team not pick him up at center ice to defend his shot, instead allowing him to swap sticks with a teammate and take a wide open shot, but if a goalie with possession of the puck reaches center ice, play would be stopped and a face off would be held in the goalie's team's defensive zone.
20th Oct 2013
Factual error: The slot canyon with the underground pool that Aron and the girls dive in is nowhere near Blue John Canyon. It is actually the Homestead Resort Crater located in Midway, Utah approximately 200 miles northwest.
18th Sep 2013
Factual error: When Scully is performing the autopsy on Leonard Betts' severed head, she states "As remains are incomplete, all observations refer to a decapitated head." This phrasing is redundant. The proper terminology would be "disembodied head." As a medical doctor, Scully should know this.
17th Jun 2013
Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12
Factual error: When Gambit is inside his mini-jet after escaping from Bishop and Wolverine, his radar screen says "Washington D.C." but the graphic above it is Washington state.
23rd Apr 2013
Factual error: During Globo Gym's commercial at the start of the movie, White shows a picture of himself as an obese man in 1987 and indicates that was him 6 years prior. However in the same commercial, you can see a woman grab a bottle of Vitamin Water from a likewise branded fridge. Vitamin Water did not exist in 1993. In fact, its parent company Glaceau was not founded until 1996.
29th Oct 2012
Factual error: In one of the early scenes at the army base, the song "Die Born" by Days of the New can be heard playing over the PA system. This song was not released until 2001, eight years after the film takes place.
