Corrected entry: Andy's cell wall is unrealistically thick. Andy is seen crawling flat through the tunnel, indicating the wall is thicker than Andy is tall, making it least two meters thick. Prison walls are thick, but not that thick. (01:57:45)

Corrected entry: In the railway station fight scene, Riley fights Letty and tries to handcuff her. None of Hobbs' team is watching. As we find out later in the film, Riley is on Shaw's team. The fight isn't for the benefit of any other character, the fight between those two characters doesn't take the plot forward - actually arresting someone from her own team is counter productive, and might even piss Shaw off. (00:45:00 - 00:47:55)
Correction: It is entirely possible that Riley is fighting Letty to a) to continue her charade of being on Hobb's team just in case anyone's watching, b) because she legitimately hates Letty and is using this as an excuse to fight her. or c) because Shaw knows that Letty has become a liability, and outlived her usefulness. We know Shaw isn't above killing subordinates once they have outlived their purpose to him.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Corrected entry: When Upham takes several German prisoners, he shoots Steamboat Willie. We see Upham's face and gun as he shoots, we hear Steamboat Willie's body fall, then the camera turns back to the German soldiers - and Steamboat Willie's body is gone. (02:34:00)
Correction: The scenes after Upham shoots Steamboat Willie never shows Willie's body on the ground in the first place, so it could not have disappeared. Also, the blow of the rifle bullet hitting Willie would have knocked him back and out of the scene, and rolling/falling into one of the many shell craters dominating the scene.

Correction: Andy's cell is on the end, right next to where the kind of things you'd want to keep prisoners out of with extra thick walls are; furthermore, since the movie was filmed in an abandoned actual prison, the wall is that much more likely to be real.
