Factual error: When the messenger has given the photos and materials to the doctor, the data is given to 'DA' or differential analyzer (just like in earth vs the flying saucers). What is shown is a standard card sorter which does nothing but put cards in order. This machine then outputs its info to a standard plotter which can only produce x-y diagrams. It would be easier to do the verification calculations by hand using a slide rule and some graph paper.

San Andreas (2015)

Factual error: This movie makes the same mistake dozens of others have when it comes to tsunamis. When the water is coming into the bay, Dwayne Johnson says 'we need to get over the crest'. Tsunamis don't have crests nor do they act like they are shown here. The water just 'fills' up like in a bathtub.

Godzilla (2014)

Factual error: In the scenes on the railroad bridge: (1) the gap between railroad ties varies from 18 inches to 6 inches. Ties on a railroad bridge usually have an 8 inch gap. (2) The muto is stated to be 300 feet tall. In different scenes the muto appears to be taller, shorter and the same height as the railroad bridge. (3) A diesel locomotive averages 60 feet tall which is 1/5 the height of the muto. When the locomotive careens over the end of the bridge, it appears to be much smaller. (4) Railroad flat cars average 60 feet in length making the incomplete nuclear missile on the car almost 50 feet. They are not this large. (5) The railroad bridge appears to be spanning a river but its design is terrible. It would fall down. In the scene with the beached russian sub: the sub is probably a typhoon class which is 500 feet long and 75 feet wide yet the muto towers over it.

Twelve Monkeys (1995)

Factual error: In the madhouse scene where Brad Pitt is jumping on beds and ripping up pillows, feathers are strewn about. Feather pillows are never used in secure facilities, for sanitary and allergic reasons.

Factual error: The cemetery is full of bare branches of medium to small 'plants'. Since this is southern California, they should have leaves.

Factual error: This movie tries as best it can to convince the viewer the action is happening in the states even though it was shot in Italy. (1) during a news report, the term 'his excellency the governor' is used which is used nowhere in the states. The rest of the newscast is equally odd. (2) the architecture is definitely 1950s Italy. (3) there is almost a complete lack of American automobiles; most of them are Fiats. (4) you can see Lebanese cedar trees everywhere trimmed in the Mediterranean style (tall and skinny). There are many more too numerous to go into.

Cell (2016)

Factual error: One of the phone crazies runs into an identifiable Ponderosa Pine tree. There are no Ponderosa Pine trees within a thousand miles of Boston.

Cell (2016)

Factual error: The open credit sequence takes place at the Atlanta Airport (Hartsfield Jackson), signs are throughout the Delta terminals, Boston Airport announcements are dubbed in until we see John Cusack come off the airplane.

Where Eagles Dare (1968)

Factual error: Most of the soldiers (both German, British and American) sport 1960's style haircuts. Regulations in all three armies call for buzzcuts. Eastwood sports almost a pompadour, and Burton almost a mullet. This is a mistake made in about 50% of war movies.

Life (2017)

Factual error: The way the life form moves through the ship is silly. In weightless conditions, you can only move by pushing yourself off a wall or other stationary object. This creature seems to move throughout the ship by flailing its tentacles, which is nonsense.

Passengers (2016)

Factual error: The ship supposedly has some sort of artificial gravitational field because there's a light which notifies when the gravity is off. When the gravity turns off, suddenly everything flies off into different directions. If the ship is moving with uniform motion, turning off the gravity will do nothing unless an object is accelerated. Where it moves to depends on the direction of your acceleration.

Factual error: At the beginning 'researchers' are working on the 60th parallel in the province of nunavut. Nunavut is not a province; it is a Canadian territory. They appear to be working in the winter. At the 60th parallel, the winter would be almost dark and the sun would never be that high in the sky. Given that sun, it would be summer. In the summer, you would not have that snow cover.

sexxypeety

Factual error: The movie shows a 'jet' aircraft belonging to 'consolidated airlines'. The so called airplane is a laugh. It has two jet engines attached to the horizontal stabilizers. The landing gear appear to be bolted to the wings. During the movie this plane crashes and the engines are moved to a terminal to be examined. They are too small to be real engines. During the course of examining the engines, they are run inside the terminal building. One of the investigators stands 10 feet behind the jet intake and is not sucked inside. The cockpit is not even close to what one would find in a jet airplane.

Meteor (1979)

Factual error: We're given to believe that the mission control in NYC is under the AT&T building on Thomas Street. The scene showing the destruction in Manhattan does not go south enough to have had any impact on this building, and the subway tunnels used to escape after mission control is damaged are nowhere near the Hudson river. The illusion given by the movie is that water sloshes up against the tunnel walls.

Meteor (1979)

Factual error: All movies make the same mistake when depicting nuclear explosions in a vacuum. You get a large fireball which would melt but not destroy the asteroid. Pressure waves are generated only in an atmosphere.

Life (2017)

Factual error: When the probe from Mars crashes into the space station, it's probably doing 17,000 mph or even more, which would completely demolish whatever is in its path. It's not believable that some 'arm' could stop it.
