Ant-Man (2015)

Corrected entry: Paxton says, "I know this van." How, exactly? He briefly saw Scott driving an older brown and beige van once, in daylight. It is now dark. The van has been repainted grey and blue, even inside (as can be seen seen when they open the rear door) and it now has assorted equipment mounted on the outside (ladder, winch, emergency light). Yes, he heard the "La Cucaracha" horn in the distance, but that is hardly a direct connection. The only physical resemblance is the side windows. If real cops forced a vehicle open on such a flimsy comparison, they would be sued.

Correction: No, they wouldn't. Police are very familiar with the technique of repainting a vehicle to change its appearance. That van is the same make, model, and year, three things he is trained to notice, as the one Scott, whom he severely mistrusts, was driving and it has the exact same horn. The odds of the two vans being the same van are pretty great.

Ant-Man (2015)

Corrected entry: With regards to the Thomas the Tank Engine model near the end of the film, the mechanism that moves the eyes is part of the same mechanism that drives the wheels. As such, the eyes should have stopped moving from side-to-side from the moment that was derailed. Instead, we have them moving even after the model has been blown up to massive size.

Correction: If the toy engine is derailed, the mechanism continues to function, the wheels just spin uselessly and the eyes continue to move. There's no reason for it to shut off just because it sits on its side.
