Factual error: Druig leads several warriors outside Tenochtitlan as it was sacked by the Spanish conquistadores, and they live peacefully in the nearby forest, for 500 years. The forest is of course the virgin Amazon forest, as captions say. Small problem; Tenochtitlan was in Central Mexico.

Il Balordo (1978)
Factual error: Richard Harrison enlists the protagonist in the Allied army. He brings Maestro Bordigoni along on a tour of sorts, performing in several cities freed from the Nazis. But the headlines are just wrong; Bordigoni supposedly plays on "Thursday January 14th 1944" in Rome - it was a Friday and most importantly, Rome had not been liberated yet. Same mistake for Bologna; Bordigoni holds a concert on Friday May 8th 1944, wrong day of the week and in a city still controlled by the Axis. (02:16:40)

Zorro (1975)
Factual error: In the bar in Cartagena amongst the goods advertised there's a sale of slaves of color ("Negroes"). However the movie is set in the early XIX century and the sale the poster refers to (listing very specific figures) took place in South Carolina in 1769.

The Suicide Squad (2021)
Factual error: During the briefing, Waller shows the map of the island of Corto Maltese. The map positions the fictional island in the Caribbean (it says "Mar Caribe"), but she says it is "off the coast of South America." The map does have also a set of precise coordinates in one of the middle quadrants; 45°43'36.0"S 56°32'58.2"W, which would place it far west of Argentina, surely nowhere near "Mar Caribe." (00:22:10)

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Factual error: Let's go by the movie geography; our planet is a big matrioska. By diagrams shown, this Hollow Earth would be by the Earth's core, thousands of miles deep. They enter from a portal in Antarctica. And yet, Godzilla later in the movie burns a random hole in the ground in HK deep enough to reach it, roars through it and Kong hears it, and the ape easily climbs it to poke back to the surface. Even admitting you can do the magic "1,000 miles in 2 seconds" warp anywhere, the scale is ludicrous.

Grand Isle (2019)
Factual error: The movie is set in 1988, but the hurricane mentioned ("Jodie") is from 1977. (00:15:20)
21st Apr 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Factual error: The whole "Did the referee blow his whistle because of the goal, or because the match is over" isn't possible; the referee blows his whistle three times for the end of the match, not just a single time. (However, it should be noted that technically it's a universally adopted convention but not a hard-coded rule). (00:05:50)
17th Apr 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Factual error: Blatant rule breaking during the penalty kick; Matsuyama taps the ball bringing it forward instead of just kicking it; running forward with the ball from the penalty spot is not allowed. (00:15:30)
17th Apr 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Factual error: Ken Wakashimazu, the reserve keeper, just announces a substitution, himself, from the crowd (not even the bench!), his presence unbeknownst to the coach and everyone else in attendance. For those not familiar with the rules of soccer (or ANY sport!), that's really not how it works in an official match. (00:13:30)
17th Apr 2021
Drunk Parents (2019)
Factual error: During the opening credits, Alec Baldwin and Selma Hayek are driving back to New York. They pass by various buildings, one shot being entirely devoted to a dilapidated Blockbuster video store. That shot must have been archive footage from the UK, since you can see the realtor sign by it, and it's from Carter Jonas, a London based firm, and gives an 01962 phone number (Windsor).
17th Apr 2021
Murder on the Orient Express (2015)
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Factual error: The series is set in 1933, as the initial captions show. Yet the locomotive pulling the Orient Express is a JNR Class C58: the C58 series was built starting from 1938 (C58 239 used here is from 1940).
5th Apr 2021
Flight to Hell (2003)
Factual error: When Don records the flight log, he says that they have been in the storm for 5 hours. That does not seem to match the timing of the events in the movie, but on top of that, it's a Vegas-Phoenix flight. That's a 250 miles distance that would take little more than one hour. (01:07:30)
4th Apr 2021
Grand Isle (2019)
Factual error: Most of the action is set in 1988. The prologue with the two little girls is set before or during that year, but the girl scouts are selling "Thindulgent Sandwich cookies", by Sheila G, a brand established after 1992. (00:01:55)
30th Mar 2021
The X-Files Game (1998)
Factual error: You decide to investigate the russian ship "Tarakan." The captain says "it's not far from here", and the characters take what looks like a leisurely stroll on the dock from their position. If you look at the in-game map, the two dots are on opposite sides of the bay.
29th Mar 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8
Factual error: At cost of stating the obvious; nobody is allowed to enter the pitch on a whim from the stands, even going as far as hitting a player kicking the football at them, it's pitch invasion. Nobody says anything about it and the referee is mysteriously absent though.
26th Mar 2021
College Kings
Factual error: One of the first transitions between scenes during college life is styled as a book cover the protagonists is reading. Too bad that they wrote it on the wrong page - he's not reading a manga.
26th Mar 2021
Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (2006)
Factual error: Roaming the Istanbul marketplace in the prologue, the protagonist Antoinette Marceau mentions that the rugs look as if they might be able to fly "like the fabled Aladdin carpet." The association between Aladdin and the magic carpet comes from the Disney movie, it's not something a lady in the 1930s would have said.
26th Mar 2021
Revelation (2001)
Factual error: When the protagonists arrive to Patmos, latitude and longitude are switched the other way around at 26°489 and 37°411. Moreover, that's not Patmos, but Anydro Patmou, an uninhabited islet unlike what is shown here.
25th Mar 2021
Justice League (2017)
Factual error: Martha Kent drives away from the foreclosed property. The realtor address is "Comanche, KS 66531", but that's the zip code of Riley, in Riley County. (00:06:30)
24th Mar 2021
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Factual error: Diana obviously wears super-heels, since she hero-lands perfectly on stone steps with no damage to her designer stiletto shoes after the (at least) 50 feet fall. (00:48:20)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Her shoes could be made of some super strong material, possibly a tough material created by Wayne Enterprises.
Suggested correction: It never says that the people who live with Druig in the Amazon in the present day are descendants of the people from Tenochtitlan. Nor does it ever say that the forest outside Tenochtitlan is the Amazon. He's probably been moving around for the last five centuries just as the other Eternals have.
Necrothesp
Never ever? He literally says "Do you remember this forest? Beautiful. It's the last place we all lived together. I've protected these people for 20 generations." They split after their argument during the sack of the town. If their base of operations exterminating the mutant space dogs in Mexico was in the Amazon forest, their logistic could use some work.
Sammo ★
Just because the last time they fought together was in Tenochtitlan doesn't mean that was the last time they lived together. They may have spent some time living peacefully in the Amazon before moving north to do their business in Tenochtitlan. And just because he's protected the people for twenty generations doesn't mean they're descendants of the people from Tenochtitlan. He may have found them later. We don't know every detail of the Eternals' history. You're just making assumptions.
Necrothesp
You are assuming the presence of a third party stranded for 500 years that the movie never showed before, different from the people that he led out of the city and that we have then to postulate he let go, in a location far off from the one of their last encounter. It's an assumption on entirely new details that you had to make up. My only assumption is to think that what is shown in the movie had purpose and fits, and someone just borked a caption.
Sammo ★
Who says they're stranded? He just said he had protected them for twenty generations. They'd probably always lived there. You're making the assumption that they must be the same people because nobody said they weren't. But nobody said they were either. Nobody in the film ever made a connection between the people in Tenochtitlan and the people in the Amazon. No mistake has therefore been made in either the dialogue or the captions.
Necrothesp
I noticed the same problem, the scene indicates the location as "Amazon" (it could be any of the Spanish speaking countries that have part of this forest), but then, Druig comes with the affirmation you pointed. It's obviously a geographical inaccuracy.
They don't speak Spanish in the Amazons.
