Revealing mistake: When Sarah and the Triad chick are fighting, Sarah is thrown through the window of a late model Dodge. When she is thrown through the window, it breaks into large shards, indicating it is not made of the safety glass which is used in all car windows.

26th Feb 2006
Two for the Money (2005)
Factual error: The movie takes place during a single NFL season. In the beginning of the movie, when Brandon is still in Las Vegas, the paper he is using to pick games shows Seattle playing New Orleans. Later in the movie, still the regular season, Seattle and New Orleans are playing again. They would not play each other twice during the regular season.
26th Feb 2006

He did. But, the car appears before he steals it when he drives home after going to her office.

There is even a nice shot of the US Capitol building in the background, the problem is that Dulles Airport is about 25 miles from Washington, if the shot is real it was filmed at Reagan National Airport. (00:00:10)
27th Jul 2005
Wedding Crashers (2005)
Factual error: Without getting into the physics of the whole thing, there is no way a shotgun, and especially a shotgun with the kind of shells they were using, could knock a full grown man down like that. At worst he would be bruised from the re-coil, or the weapon would fly out of his hand, depending on how he was holding it at the time he fired.

Foolproof (2003)
Other mistake: Sam asks Leo if she can see his gun, then she points it at him. He laughs and says the clip is removed and that he would never have let her have a loaded gun. She shows him the clip she has stolen from his pocket, loads it into the gun, and cocks it. When she cocks it, a round comes out, meaning that there was already a round in the chamber, so he did give her a loaded gun. She only had one shot, but it was still loaded.
24th Apr 2005
Secret Window (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Mort is in Ken's office telling him about John harassing him. Ken punches the right side of the chess clock down to start it. Then Mort punches the left side, his right to stop it.

6th Jul 2004
True Lies (1994)
Factual error: When Harry's wife is meeting the used car salesman, he says to meet her under the Key Bridge on K street, that would be hard because the Key Bridge is actually over the Potomac river. If that scene was shot in DC it is on K street, under the Whitehyrst freeway. (00:57:30 - 00:58:50)
