Factual error: The Cadillac that stalks Professor Joshua Mansky at the beginning of the movie when he gets in the bar has a license plate (517-UCE) with a number format and design not compatible with the time period, the 70s at earliest. The movie is set in 1962. (00:03:30)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Factual error: Humphrey and the rest of the crew arrive on the murder scene, where Fidel is taking pictures of the body. With the knife fully planted inside the victim and pictures still to be taken, Fidel is already able to say that the knife has been wiped clean of prints; it's impossible that he could have already done such an assessment at that point.

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.3 - S3-E3
Factual error: Reading the dull travel guide, the island of Saint Marie is said to be 1/10 of Guadeloupe (≈162 km), 1/8 of Dominica (≈94 km), 1/6 of Saint Lucia (≈102 km), 1/5 of Martinique (≈225 km) and 1/3 of Barbados (≈146 km). How big IS Saint Marie then? It makes no sense! These very specific fractions (Goodman praises how meticulous the book is) contradict each other. It should also be noted that this fictional book is from 1929 and none of those entities were independent nations. (00:18:25)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.2 - S3-E2
Factual error: When Camille shows the emails to Humphrey, the last one in the list is dated Tue 15/01/2014, which was a Wednesday. It should also be noted that the list does not appear to be sorted by any criteria that would work on Outlook Express. (00:22:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Factual error: In the close-up of the letter accompanying the package sent by DI Richard Poole's parents, their address is from Oadby, Leicester, with a postcode starting by OL9, which is the designation for Oldham, in Lancashire. (00:26:00)

Factual error: At the end of the episode, Camille looks into Richard's telescope from the wrong end...and it works.

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #1.8 - S1-E8
Factual error: In the close-up of the password from Antigua and Barbuda, the nationality listed is "Antiguan", while as redundant as it seems, official passports from that country list it as "Antiguan and Barbudan." It also has no place of birth listed at all. (00:24:20)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
Factual error: The victim has been shot while he was lying in the coffin with his arms crossed. Somehow, he keeps his arms perfectly crossed even when he's dead, despite being carried around in a casket propped in vertical position merely a little more than 15 minutes later. Rigor mortis takes way longer to begin, his lifeless arms would have flailed off position a long time before, not stayed in the dramatic mummy position with no supports to hold them in place.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: Magnum shows the news of Dr. Karen Harmon on the newspaper to TC and Rick and tells them "She was with the 71st Evac Hospital at Binh Thuy, remember?", but the 71st Evac was at Pleiku, over 600km up north. (00:07:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: The episode opens with a caption "Miami, 1955." However, as Salvatore Marchese sits in the barber's chair, he picks up as his reading of choice a copy of the National Geographic...the April 1982 edition. (00:02:20)

Magnum P.I. (2018)
Die He Said - S1-E8
Factual error: Devon's password is his name spelled backwards, Nevod - but Windows (which he seems to be using, but in the day and age this show was made, it's pretty much a constant) has a minimum of 6 characters for a password. (00:19:00)

Magnum P.I. (2018)
Die He Said - S1-E8
Factual error: The lease contract that Magnum inspects puts the City of Haleiwa in the "County of Hawaii" in the State of Hawaii, but it's Honolulu county, not "Hawaii." (00:09:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: Magnum gets to the airfield looking for TC the first time, at the very beginning of his drive you can see in the building in the background a modern window AC unit - that kind of device was available in 1936, but its cost certainly makes it unlikely, as it'd cost the equivalent of $8,000 today, not really something for the dingy shack it's mounted on.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: At the movies, Magnum is watching a movie with Bette Davis, the first one she played in, "The Bad Sister" and comments "Keep it up, old girl, you just might have a future as an actress." Funny, but the dream is set in 1936, not 1931 when that movie came out. Implausibility of finding it in theaters aside, by 1936 young Bette Davis had already won her first Oscar. (00:30:30)

Magnum P.I. (2018)
Factual error: Magnum comes up from the boat with 1 kg of gold - as also inscribed on the bar itself. Thing is, the ingot he brings is massive; a kilobar, even of the brick-shaped kind, is never as large. (00:34:15)

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Factual error: A vital part of the plot's resolution is based on the fact that the reading activity of the brain happens in the right hemisphere, while the dream activity is localized in the left half, making thus impossible to read during a dream. Besides anecdotal experience that says the contrary, this 'fact' is not supported by medical studies, which in fact contradict it. There is no hard distinction, it varies greatly between individuals and even going by those studies who could be seen as supportive of the theory, reading would not be impossible and speaking would be just as hard.

Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)
Factual error: During the opening credits, when Nina Arianda' s name pops up, you also see the invite from the Verdi club for Florence's performance. It's the beginning of the story, but in the street you can see the cinema marquee for the movie "Three Is A Family", released on November 23, barely 3 days before Florence's death. (00:01:00)
