Corrected entry: Near the end of the film when Focker is accusing Pam's father of still being in the CIA, he says that he heard him speaking fluent Thai on the phone. How would he have known it was Thai? Having heard that her father spent 19 months in a Viet Cong POW camp, don't you think he would have at least assumed it was Vietnamese he was speaking?

Corrected entry: When Jack (De Niro) and Greg (Stiller) are racing home from the rehearsal dinner Greg is driving a Mercedes Benz. Each stoplight on the way home he stops to screeching tires. Mercedes Benz has had anti-lock brakes on their cars for many years. It would be virtually impossible to do this in this type of car.
Correction: It is possible to lock up anti lock brakes. If you pump the brakes (the old way to keep them from locking when you braked suddenly), anti lock brakes have been known to lock and cause skidding. This was a big problem when anti lock brakes came out because a lot of people (my mother including) were so used to it, that it was a habit.

Corrected entry: When Greg is waiting to board the plane at the airport, there's no one else waiting with him. When he's dragged out after his outburst on the plane, the gate is full of people.
Correction: Maybe these people are there for the next flight out of that gate. There was obviously enough time for the security guards to show up. It could also have been a gate change from nearby and all the people moved.

Correction: It is not out of this world that Greg recognizes the Thai language. I am an American and can recognize the differences between Thai, Vietnamese, Catonese, and Mandarin. I don't speak any of them.
