The Meg (2018)

Corrected entry: At the end, the ship has exploded after the crash of the helicopter and the crew is in the water. The woman is picking up the people from the water in her surfaced sub. How is this thing propelled if both forward thrusters are above water?

Correction: Why wouldn't they be moving forward? It would work on the same principle as a fan boat. We have no idea how powerful these thrusters are so can't say they wouldn't work if they aren't submerged.

Hitman (2007)

Corrected entry: When the two Interpol agents wait in their car and listen to some conversation, a black GAZ 24 with one police light on the roof approaches. On the right hand side, some parked cars can be seen. The last car in the line is an East German Trabant 601 (in the original "papyrus" paint job). The car is a bit covered by a Moskvich 2140. No Trabi were ever exported to the Soviet Union due to the two-stroke-engine of the Trabant. The scene would be OK without the Trabi.

Correction: The police vehicle would be a GAZ 21, or Volga, but close enough. Cars can be privately imported into Russia (the Soviet Union broke up in 1991) and many cars stolen in other countries are illegally imported. Once into Russia, it's common to be able to register the car with a few rubles to the right people, and the car can stay. I've seen $100000 BMWs stolen in Germany (for example) brought into Russia, registered and resold for as little as $15000.
