The Mauritanian picture

Stupidity: While awaiting their flight home, Nancy told Teri, "Think I miscalculated the tea. I'm not gonna last three-and-a-half hours [on the non-stop flight with no restroom facility]." Nancy then went into the gift shop where Stuart Couch introduced himself, asked if he could get her a drink, and bought her a bottle of beer. Nancy drank at least some of the beer on screen, even though she was already concerned about drinking tea before her flight. (00:59:28 - 01:00:30)

Stupidity: In the scene in the KNX broadcast studio, the engineer gets Bob Crane's attention by banging on the control room glass. An engineer would more likely speak to the DJ by flipping a talk switch and speaking into a mic, and the DJ would hear him in his headphones.

Changeling picture

Stupidity: When she leaves him at home with a sandwich she says people will come check on him. When she gets home and he's not there, she doesn't go and ask those people where he is.

The Wolf of Wall Street picture

Stupidity: When they are in Italy on the boat, they find out they need to go to Montecarlo in order to reach Switzerland. They have a chopper. Italy is right next to Switzerland. It makes no sense that they would take a boat to Montecarlo to get to Switzerland, especially given the weather they'd have to sail through.

Suggested correction: We don't know where in Italy they are. If they are all the way in the south, there is no way a helicopter could make it to Switzerland on a single tank. Then he would also have to consider clearance for airspace, where and how to refuel etc. In short, sailing to Monaco and flying to Switzerland from there is much easier.

Clearance to dock in Monaco is needed if you sail with a large ship. Same trouble than air clearance. Using a helicopter is still faster, even with the eventual refuelling. Switzerland via Monaco makes no sense. They would still need to use the helicopter or a car from Monaco on.

Hacksaw Ridge picture

Stupidity: When Doss buried the wounded soldier, leaving one eye out made no sense. It did nothing to help him. All it did was make it easier for the Japanese to spot him. It would've made sense to leave his nose and/or mouth out, so he could breathe. He did not need to see.

Suggested correction: A person who is unable to see is more likely to panic. When Doss buried the wounded Marine, he asked him to take a deep breath and trust him. By leaving one eye open, it allowed him to see the gravity of the situation as IJA soldiers walked by and maintain eye contact with Doss who hid under a dead Marine. After the suspicious IJA soldier bayoneted the body over Doss, he looked directly at where the wounded man was buried and kept walking. It was a crude method, but it likely saved them both.

Fighting with My Family picture

Stupidity: The movie takes creative liberties with the real story; it's understandable, for instance, that it would show Paige being directly on NXT rather than part of the Florida Championship Wrestling promotion first, and that she is the only real character from NXT depicted in the movie. However, the movie chooses also to omit the fact that Paige was NXT Champion when she faced AJ Lee. Not just that, but it alters entirely the dynamic of the actual match; she does not manage to utter a single word because of stage fright, something that movie-wise she seems to have never managed to overcome. Given the changes, the movie asks us to believe that WWE would make a champion out of a complete rookie who is a deer in the headlights in front of a crowd that ignores her and hasn't found her personality yet - she does so only after she wins. That doesn't make a lot of sense even by the movie's own logic.
