Factual error: Lexy finds Chucky's sneakers by the drapes, and he jumps on her to strangle her, making her drop her joint. That's exactly where the fire starts and grows large, which would have melted his sneakers. Yet in the next episode, he's burned, but his sneakers are as good as new.

Rocky II (1979)
Factual error: Rocky buys and drives a Trans Am. Later, we find out that he can't read after his commercial goes horribly wrong. He couldn't have a driver's license because he would need to pass the written test first. You can't take the test if you can't read the questions or the driver's manual for that matter.

Suggested correction: It's not that he can't read at all, he just reads slow and has some trouble. It may or may not be enough to hamper him from taking the test. But is it ever established that he has a driver's license? He wouldn't be the first person in Philadelphia to drive without a license.
When you can't tell the difference between simple words like rat and cat, there's a pretty good chance you can't pass a written driver's test, which is why I said he "couldn't" have a license.

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Factual error: At the very beginning, while Frederick is telling us about the party, he says, "There will be food and drink and ghosts etc..." Throughout the movie, there isn't a single morsel of food ever seen or offered.

Suggested correction: Around thirteen minutes into the film, when Frederick starts to pour drinks for his guests, you can see a table with food on it behind them. Appears to be sort-of of a small, buffet style selection of hors d'oeuvres, albeit it's out of focus in the background. (It's very easy to miss.)

The Honeymooners (1955)
Factual error: When Ralph goes out the window onto the fire escape to save Ed the first time in the episode, Alice is looking out the window (to her right) telling Trixie all the step by step movements of both men, ending with, "and he's taking him right into your window." The Norton's live directly upstairs from the Kramdens, but Alice never changes the direction she's looking at the whole time. She should be looking straight up as Ralph leads Ed into their window. There is no other window to the right. (00:02:30 - 00:03:04)

Tremors (1990)
Factual error: When Val is talking to Burt on the CB radio and desperately trying to tell him to get out of his basement, Burt is using a handheld CB. After Val's very last transmission, Burt is now holding a rifle, not the CB. When the Graboid crashes through Burt's basement wall, we hear him say over Val's CB, "Jesus Chr..." his transmission was cut off. First of all, Burt wasn't holding the CB so he wasn't transmitting at the time. Second, there are portable CBs that you can lock the PTT button for extended transmissions (I owned one), but that wasn't the case here. Finally, even if by some chance Burt accidentally did lock the PTT button before putting it down, it wouldn't have cut off. The Graboid broke through away from where Burt was standing and talking and couldn't affect the CB. It was done for dramatic effect of the scene. (00:58:30)

Suggested correction: Could be he put the CB down on the PTT button (it's a rather large one) and it stopped transmitting when the tremors caused it to flip off it.

Family Guy (1999)
Factual error: While Trump is showing Peter around the White House, Trump stops and says, "Sorry, can you hang on a sec, gotta close this window, Melania's out there blowing bubbles for Eric." It's a fact that windows are not allowed to be opened in the White House for security sake. Michelle Obama was unaware at first and opened one and the secret service ordered her to shut that window immediately.

Out For Justice (1991)
Factual error: Towards the end of the movie Ritchie visits Chas the Chair. Chas tells one of his guys to wire a police scanner in the GNX parked in the garage. As we see the car once Richie's in it, it's very easily noticeable that it's not a Buick GNX, it's the regular Buick Grand National. The badges are on the fenders where the fender louvers should be on a GNX, the hood has the 3.8 SFI Turbo, among other differences. Trust me, I've owned one and have driven many.

Stewie, Chris & Brian's Excellent Adventure - S13-E7
Factual error: When Brian and Stewie are trying to get on The Titanic, the fourth funnel is letting out smoke. The Titanic's fourth funnel was not functional. (00:12:05)

Tremors 2 (1996)
Factual error: After Grady and Earl wreck their truck, Burt, Earl and Grady have a radio conversation. At one point Grady interrupts Burt's transmission cutting off his voice, but making it appear Burt can hear him. It's not possible to interrupt a transmission while the other person is also transmitting even though they're using repeaters which is why Burt's voice was cut off in mid sentence. The only way you can transmit and receive at the same time is if you're using full duplex. Burt's voice was cut off, therefore they are not using full duplex.
