Hanna picture

Factual error: In the film Hanna talks about there being 8 planets. the film also suggests that Hanna and her father have been living in the forest for her whole life of 16 years and her only knowledge coming from books. it was 1996 when the government had any traces of Hanna's father, so that makes the film set in 2011/12. so if she has only ever got her information from books published before she was born, she would still think there are 9 planets, because Pluto wasn't officially named a dwarf planet until 2006.

Rango picture

Factual error: The 'Mayor' says he's a Turtle, but he's actually a Tortoise. Turtles have paddle type limbs for swimming, not reptile like paws as depicted in the movie.

I Am Number Four picture

Factual error: When they are in paradise the law enforcement is all wrong from the uniforms to the cars. In the State of Ohio, every county Sheriff Department looks the same (black and gold cars, black uniform shirt, grey pants, stetson style hat), they are all regulated by the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association. In the movie the "local sheriff" wears a brown uniform and drives a car with white doors. This is not accurate. The front and back of the car is accurate with the gold stripes, and the license plates on the cars are also accurate, but those are the only parts of the cars/uniforms true to the state of Ohio.

The Three Musketeers picture

Factual error: When D'artagnan and the musketeers are infiltrating the Tower of London, the king's guards are seen with the Tudor Rose crest on their tunics. By the time stated at the beginning of the movie, the last Tudor monarch (Elizabeth I) had been dead for 80+ years.

Sanctum picture

Factual error: Josh abseils forwards into the cave and in the next shot is seen coming alongside Victoria, in the standard seated abseil position. This would not have been possible, due to the design of his harness, without moving his abseil device from his back to his front. This would have involved him removing the device completely and then re-attaching it to the front of his harness which would be impossible during descent. (00:15:20)

The Raid: Redemption picture

Factual error: Throughout the film's high-energy choreographed fight sequences, Rama is repeatedly struck in the arms, legs and back with machetes. He not only suffers no wounds, but his tactical gear isn't even lacerated.

Suggested correction: Depending on what part of town his gear, the angle and strength of the blow, and how sharp the machete is, there may have only been negligible cuts. Apparently loose fitting clothes can sometimes be enough to keep a blade from cutting some of the time.

Rama's gear doesn't show even minimal lacerations or abrasions after multiple attacks.

Kill The Irishman picture

Factual error: Danny Greene has a bomb placed in Shondor Birns' car. As Birns is waiting to cross the sidewalk, the pedestrian walk-don't walk sign is a modern digital sign, that was not around in 1975.
