Clambake (1967)

Factual error: The commentator is saying, "The last of the drivers are now in line and ready to go... they are holding position for this two and a half-mile course," when they are all over the place and not lined up in any way. (01:26:41)

Factual error: Preparing to run the model train in Doc's workshop, Marty connects the clamp to the positive terminal. But he actually connects to the white ceramic insulator. Doc correctly connects to the negative metal terminal. (01:10:01)

Magellan (2017)

Factual error: The film informs us the gravity on Neptune's moon Triton is less than 8% of Earth's. But the whole physics of the rocks and his movement on the surface do not reflect that. The actual surface is frozen nitrogen. The difficulty he has in moving around is not well correlated by him only weighing 7kg. Https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5361488/.
