Deep Impact (1998)

Corrected entry: When the Beiderman comet hits the Earth you can see from the audience's view that it stays about the same size from when it first enters Earth's atmosphere and when it hits the ground. This is not possible; the heat and pressure generated by the velocity of something as large as a comet slamming into the Earth's atmosphere is enough to even deteriorate rock and metal partially upon reentry, and Beiderman is a comet, meaning it is made mostly of ice, which melts much faster than an asteroid made of rock would. Realistically, even by conservative estimates, a great deal of the Beiderman comet would have been burned off or separated during its entry into the Earth's atmosphere, certainly enough to visibly reduce its size.

Correction: There is no evidence of this (the comet NOT changing size). We don't even see the comet itself at all upon entering Earth's atmosphere. It is seen burning up with a huge ashy trail/path. Clearly indicating that comet is undergoing significant "change."

Deep Impact (1998)

Corrected entry: When Leo Beiderman and his family are watching the live report from the White House, in which the President tells the world about the asteroid discovery, he also mentions that the asteroid will be named Leo Beiderman. After a moment the phone rings because someone heard about Leo on TV and when the door bell rings Leo opens it and he sees all his neighbours. It's absolutely impossible for them to get to his house that fast. They only just heard his name on the TV and after a few seconds all of them are already at his door.

Correction: His girlfriend who lives across the street was the first one there. Pretty sure a someone can run a short distance in little time portrayed in the movie. NOT everyone was there immediately. We see the crowd gather after some time has passed.
