Factual error: When Danny and Sarah cut in front of the truck to take another route, there were at least 14-17 bullet holes through the rear window alone. Glass on that year of Mustang was not laminated and the bullets would have struck them. (01:27:35)

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2022)
Continuity mistake: When Sarah fires at the jeep chasing them she brings the weapon back in with the slide in the normal position, in the next shot it is in the locked back empty position. (01:26:50)
26th Feb 2023
Birds of Prey (2020)
Factual error: When "some Frida Kahlo-looking asshole" is chasing Harley across the bridge during her close-up you can see that the cartridges are loaded backwards into the cylinder. (00:54:05)
21st Feb 2023
Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Factual error: When Hattie is firing at Brixton she only fires 4 shots before weapon stops. She is using a Glock 26 which carries 10+1 rounds and the slides doesn't lock back yet she still pulls the trigger and you can hear the "click'. (00:02:35)

The A-Team (2010)
Continuity mistake: In the pan around scene Face is shown with the 5th tire being put on him, on the ground scene he only has 4. (00:05:22)

Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
Revealing mistake: During the bathroom fight and Ethan is starting to stand up from a urinal, you see his knee go into the foam padding that was used in the room.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Factual error: During real-world training exercises, aviators are told to keep a 500 to a 1000 ft safety bubble around them at all times. In multiple scenes you can see where they are almost flying in a wingtip formation.

Suggested correction: The tactical formation they are in is a welded wing formation, as mentioned earlier in the movie. It requires flying close together to deceive radar as to the size of the strike force.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Deliberate mistake: During the scenes where Maverick is flying the Darkstar spy plane, his helmet is lit up on the inside, so we can see his face. In reality the light would be reflecting off the plexiglass, meaning we would not be able to see his face, and he would not be able to see at all.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Factual error: When Jonathan Groff picks up the .50ae, with a maximum capacity of 8 rounds, he fires more than 8 times. (00:35:00 - 00:35:45)
25th Oct 2021
The Protégé (2021)
Continuity mistake: When Jackson is shot with shotgun he "flies" across the bathroom, hits the wall, and falls into the tub on his right side with his left leg on top of the tub and leaning to right. Next shot he is on his back. (00:26:25)
25th Oct 2021
The Protégé (2021)
Factual error: When the maid is shot with the shotgun, she flies back multiple feet. In reality, it would only be 1 or possibly 2 feet. (00:25:20)
12th Aug 2021
The Marksman (2021)
Factual error: The scope Jim is using is completely wrong (yes I know he tested the wind using dirt) but as a U.S.M.C. Marksman his scope would have had mil-dots on both the horizontal and vertical bars. (00:04:24)
11th Aug 2021
Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021)
Factual error: After the investigation the barrier tape (crime scene tape) would have been taken down. Also, there is no reason to have barrier tape inside a residence if the outside is already marked. (00:29:28 - 00:30:00)

Suggested correction: There could be legitimate uses of crime scene or barricade tape inside of a structure, such as roping off an area that forensics has not yet got to or finished. There might be a lot of officers walking through the house, so the tape could be used to restrict their movement to prevent contamination of evidence. As a warning that only authorized personnel may enter, news reporters and others would know to stay out.
Good suggestion but wrong. If that was still an active crime scene there would have been officers outside standing guard to make sure no-one will/can go inside. BTW: Retired SAPD.
I don't doubt that your former SAPD had a particular procedure, but not all police departments follow the same procedures and there are often gaps between theory and practice. Furthermore, many law enforcement agencies make a distinction between "outer perimeter" and "inner perimeter." The inner perimeter (typically where physical evidence has been located) may be taped off with additional yellow tape, but the trend has been toward using red tape to make it more distinguishable from the yellow.
I don't know where you are getting your information but I also don't know what every agency use in the United States. From those I have seen (26yrs with the SAPD) I have only seen black on yellow. Red on white or blue on white is usually European. Like you said: "many law enforcement agencies", well we didn't and that is what I am basing my experience and expertise on. We only use 1 outer perimeter barrier that was manned by officers and they checked everyone before going inside the perimeter.

The Marksman (2021)
Factual error: Jim is a former Marine and would never "chicken wing" the holding of that rifle the way he did. Even if that's the way he was taught back in?, over the years he would have learned and adapted the correct stance. (00:04:29)
2nd Jun 2021
Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021)
Factual error: Operators do NOT leave their dead in the field. John made the comment that 1 of his men were killed, but they did not bring his body out. (00:07:00)
2nd Jun 2021
Wrath of Man (2021)
Factual error: When "H" is shooting at the target, the paper holes are wrong. Bullets make clean precise holes on paper targets. (00:08:20)

Nobody (2021)
Factual error: Neighbor states: '72 Challenger, 4.9-liter, V8. The '72 Challenger came with a 3.7-liter slant-6, 5.2 and 5.6-liter V8. (00:11:30)

Suggested correction: Sounds like the neighbor is mistaken, which would just be a character mistake. Remember, the car wasn't his. He had just inherited it, recently as Hutch points out. He admittedly didn't even know the correct 0 to 60 time.

Mortal Kombat (2021)
Factual error: When Jax's SUV is hit by ice it punctures the body but the windows remain intact. (00:21:26)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I didn't see any ice puncture the body, certainly not any that would break any window. Later you see dents in the hood, but that doesn't mean the windows should be broken. I've had severe hail damage in real life where the body of the car was dented without any windows being cracked.
At 22:54 you will see multiple dents into the hood up to about an 1-2" deep. At 27:35 you will see multiple dents so deep that the paint is gone and the bare body is showing. Sorry, at that force the windows would at least cracked if not more.
The glass used in car windshields is about a quarter inch thick, seven times thicker than the sheet metal used in body panels. It is also about five times stronger. It wouldn't necessarily break or crack.
Well you have your view and I have mine. Cheers mate.

Nobody (2021)
Other mistake: Hutch states he had a "Suppressed H&K USP .45 at the back of his head. The picture shows a H&K USP 9mm. (00:58:40)
17th Apr 2021
Nobody (2021)
Other mistake: When the Russians broke into Hutches house they used a shotgun to "unlock" the front door. That would have woken up the neighborhood.
