Hellraiser (2022)
Factual error: During the storage unit robbery in the beginning of the film, simply knocking the combination dial off the safe would not have caused the bolts to suddenly retract. It would defeat the entire purpose of having a combination lock. Even inexpensive safes have mechanisms to prevent this from happening.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Factual error: All of the police cars in New York City are painted in a blue and white livery, but until 1973, NYPD cars were painted black, white, and green.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Stupidity: As much as I love this movie, this has always bothered me. When discovered on Regula Station, Chekov literally tells Kirk, McCoy and the others that Khan put creatures in their bodies to make them, "Say lies, do things." It doesn't seem to occur to McCoy or Kirk to scan them to see if the creatures are still there.

Trivia: When Ralphie comes down the stairs in the pink bunny outfit, the line spoken by the old man, "He looks like a deranged Easter bunny," was ad-libbed by Darren McGavin. Director Bob Clark liked it so much he kept it in. (Source: Quest Capsule).

A Christmas Story (1983)
Factual error: On Christmas morning when the Parker's are opening gifts, several Christmas songs can be heard playing in the background. Several of these were released long after when the movie is set (around 1940), particularly Bing Crosby's performance of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," which was released in October of 1951.

A Christmas Story (1983)
Trivia: When The Old Man is outside directing the placement of the lamp, and he talks to Swede (director Bob Clark), Swede is wearing a Miami Dolphins snow hat. It was turned sideways to hide the logo, since the Dolphins didn't come into existence until 1965.

Halloween Ends (2022)
Trivia: In a multi-layered homage, the movie that Corey and Jeremy are watching is 1982's "The Thing" which is a remake of "The Thing From Another World", which is the movie that Laurie and Tommy are watching in the original "Halloween." Oh, and of course, "The Thing" was also directed by John Carpenter.
