La Confidential (1997)

Corrected entry: The 1952-set movie is based around the premiere of the classic sci-fi movie, When Worlds Collide. Which is fine, except that the movie premiered in 1951.

Correction: The film it was based around the release of was released in 1951. It was premiered as Matt and the girl were arrested for possesion, and then later in the film Matt is out of prison, making it likely that the year would be 1952. thus making the date the film was set correct.

Air Force One (1997)

Corrected entry: None of the planes used as the real Air Force One have an escape pod. President Bill Clinton is said to have remarked on this detail after seeing the film at a White House screening.

Correction: That isn't strictly true, The American govt. has always denied rumours of a 5 man escape pod, supposedly in the rear of Air Force One, however, engineers have said there is one, as have many ground and service crew members.

Con Air (1997)

Corrected entry: Poe was convicted of murder as a US Army Ranger. He would have served his time at the US Disciplinary Barracks at Ft Leavenworth, not a civilian prison. He would also have taken a military flight home.

Grumpy Scot

Correction: He is a civilian, at the beginning of the movie you can hear him end his tour and be discharged from service.
