Corrected entry: When Cash and Tango fight everyone in the prison, all of a sudden Cash is only fighting one person, and there is nobody around, except for a few arms visible from the other side of some bars. Cash takes a bat from that guy and uses it on two guys, but 5 seconds later he doesn't have the bat anymore and is surrounded by bad guys and "gives up." (00:42:00)

Tango & Cash (1989)
Corrected entry: The bad Asian guy breaks through the mirror door exactly when Cash stops in front of it. Is it a two-way mirror? Maybe, because the mirror has no backing of any kind and is only one thin sheet of glass. Kind of dangerous to have a door in your house like that if you ever close the door too hard. Then the bad guy jumps blindly through a window - and, how fortunate - there is a car two stories below to break his fall. But when Cash jumps out the window he travels about 10 feet shorter in distance and doesn't reach the car. (00:07:00)
Correction: Pay close attention, as the Chinese guy was sprinting as he jumped from the window, and Cash stopped first and then just stood from the ledge and jumped. Look the olympic "long Jump" and that should explain everything.

Tango & Cash (1989)
Corrected entry: When Tango and his sister are arguing in his back yard, Cash is naked from the waist up. In the next shot Cash is sitting down with his dress pulled up over his shoulders, and then he pulls an audiotape out of the dress, from the level of half-way up his chest. (01:13:40)
Correction: Cash had mostly likely lifted his dress back up, not to mention he said, "My panytyhose are rding into the unknown," meaning he had to fix and resituate certain parts of the drag get-up.

Armageddon (1998)
Corrected entry: During the opening titles after the asteroid hits earth, the fireball spreads out around the world and the camera angle shifts across about 10% of the earth's surface, and suddenly the fireball has progressed almost completely around the entire world. It wouldn't have happened anywhere near this quickly, and its appearance would have changed as its intensity diminished. (00:00:55)
Correction: We can safely assume that the director of the film did it this particular way to add drama to the opening sequence of the film and to add special effects so that the audience can see what once happened.

Armageddon (1998)
Corrected entry: Several of the crew are strapped into seats that are far too small for them. There is absolutely no support for their heads. The seats end at their shoulders. When they hit the 12 G's around the moon the weight of the helmets will guillotine their necks. (01:05:00)
Correction: This is incorrect. You can see both Oscar's and Rockhound's headrest while they are being strapped in. Since they are not upright, their weight may make them higher on the seat. But, when they are doing the "Roadrunner Thrust Maneuver" you can definitely see the headrest of everyone they show. They are black, so they may just be hard for some people to see but they are definitely there.

Tango & Cash (1989)
Corrected entry: Why does the FBI automatically assume that Tango and Cash killed their agent, and if the FBI had the building staked out, why didn't they see the bad guy enter and leave? (00:24:00)
Correction: If you watch the movie, this is explained. Many people were paid/bought off for the set-up. The guy who is in charge when the FBI burst in is one of these people, as is later revealed in the film.

Tango & Cash (1989)
Corrected entry: Tango is wearing a nice gold chain in prison. Has anyone ever heard of a prison that lets anyone keep their jewelry? (00:34:00)
Correction: Cesar, one of the main characters in Adrian Nicole Leblanc's book "Random Family" (a work of nonfiction) gets married in prison. He is allowed to keep his wedding band.

Tango & Cash (1989)
Corrected entry: When Cash dresses up as a woman to escape the police, it is just amazing that there happens to be a pair of women's high heeled shoes that fit him, and a black plastic dress in his size, and lucky for him somebody has a wig lying around. How long did it take for him to create this disguise? He had to shave his legs, arms, back and chest. You don't do that in 5 minutes. (01:09:00)
Correction: He didn't have to shave everything. He just needed to get out and away quickly in the dark of night.

Correction: Because if you think about this for a few minutes, you'll notice the scene switches to Tango fighting one guy, smashes his skull through a glass pane, and leaves, where you then see Cash with a chain in his, obviously he decided a chain was better than a bat.
