Factual error: In a classroom scene, Mia takes her phone out and checks Instagram. It can be seen that she is on the network "Koodo" - a Canadian mobile operator. The movie takes place in Portland, but is filmed in Vancouver. (01:00:10)
Factual error: The newsreel at the start of the movie shows a carrier preparing to launch aircraft. The announcer claims it is the Enterprise, but in actuality, it is either the Lexington or the Saratoga, evidenced by the huge funnel.
Factual error: In the scene where James Brown receives a new Cadillac from his manager, the scene is marked by a 1965 timeline header, but the Cadillac is actually a 1967 model.
Factual error: When Nick, Kurt, and Dale are in Rex's closet, Dale appears to be turning on the gas. What he is turning is actually the screw to secure the regulator onto the gas cylinder. You can see the valve to release the gas at the top end of the cylinder. (00:46:30)
Factual error: The film is based during the Battle of the Bulge which took place from December 16th 1944 to January 25th 1945. However throughout the entire film the area appears to be mid-summer. No snow in sight. (00:07:50)
Factual error: Just like in the previous movie, Herzog is referred to as "colonel", in particular in the WWII museum where Martin reads about his history. But both in the museum's picture of him, and throughout the movie, Herzog is wearing the uniform of a SS Standartenführer. To hold a title of Oberst (colonel), he would have been a member of the Wehrmacht, regular army, not SS.
Factual error: The three panzers that ambushed the Hellcats are supposed to be Mk. III's with the 50mm gun, but they only had 5 bogie wheels, instead of 6, and no driver or radio operator's hatches.
Factual error: Declan takes a gun from his glove compartment and nothing else. I counted that he fired 22 shots before being put down. There is no way that gun had a 22+ round magazine.
Factual error: The alien drops the video camera out of the UFO from outer space and it falls to earth landing on the ground. This very far drop would certainly have busted it to pieces, if not ignited it on reentry, but when the guy picks it up off the ground, it appears only the screen is cracked.
Factual error: Near the end of the helicopter scene Jenko pulls the pin of a grenade with his teeth before he throws it. It is not possible to pull a grenade pin with your teeth as it requires more force than that.
Factual error: The streak ended in '04, but at the beginning of the movie the seniors talking about their last game have letter jackets with the year '05 on the sleeve.
Factual error: When the Germans come to the town a tank rolls through the picture. The first shot shows the tracks, then the whole tank is shown and one can see the tracks again. The turret suggests a Panzer III (which would be accurate for the time). It appears however that the tank is a modified Russian T34 or T55 or something as the road wheels are too big for a Panzer III. (00:13:00)
Factual error: Ryan Reynolds has an entire trailer of evergreen trees that he is going to plant in the middle of the winter. No landscaper would plant trees at this time because the ground is frozen, and if planted they would die.
Factual error: The "Italian" police wear obvious fake uniforms, they're US style.
Factual error: When the Doctor visits William Turner in Chelsea, he claims to be leaving by train from Charing Cross. That station did not open until 1864 - 13 years after the death of Turner.
Factual error: In a scene where Kat is flying to or from Northern California for college, in the background through the window on the plane one can see a commercial jet which has the winglets of a narrow-body Boeing, which were not introduced until 1998 on the Boeing 737 NextGen, rather than "wingtip fences" of an Airbus which were in use as early as 1985. Eve disappeared in 1988 when Kat was 17, so this would have been 1993 at the latest, when Kat would have been expected to have graduated from Berkeley. In the movie, it is suggested that this was just 2 years after her mother disappeared, so this would have been not later than 1990-91.
Factual error: When the guy is talking to him on the phone and the Russian smashes it on the floor, the phone smashes and the battery comes out but the guy other end can still hear him. (01:04:00)
Factual error: While Evans and Eve are still in Grand Central they overhear an announcement which states "According to Port Authority policy This station will be closing for the evening." Grand Central is not part of the NY/NJ Port Authority. Also Grand Central is a terminal, not a station, as trains do not pass through Grand Central, they enter and turn around.
Factual error: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who phones Jesperson to tell him he has not been accepted is a colonel. In common with most Canadian police forces, the RCMP uses British-style civilian police ranks (inspector, superintendent, etc), not military-style ranks as the American police do.
Factual error: When the Fat Controller arrives at Tidmouth Sheds, Tidmouth Sheds appears to be missing from the reflection.
