Factual error: The present day "Grimsby" train station shows electric wires and trains. The real Grimsby only has diesel ones.

Factual error: Jackie is handling medication vials and taking a pill. Some of the vials have childproof "palm and twist" caps, but they were not invented until 1967. (00:48:00 - 00:49:00)

Factual error: Toward the end of the movie, we see a B-2 Spirit releasing bombs over the town. This is very unlikely, as this is probably the most expensive aircraft to operate in the USAF arsenal, and it has only 20 of them. There is no reason to use it over an area with no hostile enemy fire, when much cheaper and more available aircraft can to the same task.

Factual error: Curiously enough, Michelle's mess in the bathroom with the self-tanning spray seems to be mostly made by footprints everywhere (but you don't tan your palms and soles, and the bottom of the foot is what she is using to lean on the wall anyway) while the spray she continues to apply does not color the tiles and towel in the slightest and nothing drips from the smooth surfaces.

Factual error: The limo shown is a 1990 (or later) Cadillac. It has large halogen headlamps and not the dual headlamps of a 70-71.

Factual error: There would be no room for a thumb drive inside of a real Rubik's Cube due to the way they are constructed. When dismantled, the individual moving parts are quite small. It would certainly be possible to construct a facsimile of a Rubik's Cube that would have enough room, but it wouldn't be a fully functional puzzle the way it was in the film.

Factual error: Many details are wrong in Elizabeth's execution. The scaffold is in the prison yard, whereas by this time it was inside. The noose has a knot as opposed to the simple slider which was used by this time. Nobody is present except the hangman and one warder, whereas in fact the usual execution party was the prison governor, the chaplain, at least two warders, the hangman and his assistant. The hangman is masked, which never happened in Britain.

Factual error: The open credit sequence takes place at the Atlanta Airport (Hartsfield Jackson), signs are throughout the Delta terminals, Boston Airport announcements are dubbed in until we see John Cusack come off the airplane.

Factual error: As it happens in many Hollywood movies, we have a gun that is "ceramic" (actually a polymer, "plastic" as Ben corrects himself later) that is entirely stealthy, able to fool the metal detectors at the entrance of a building. It's not an imaginary high-tech device, but is explicitly referenced as the FN Five-seveN handgun (here called repeatedly as FN Five point seven). The metal detector would still pick up the metallic parts and the bullets. (00:40:25)

Factual error: When the boy sends the letter, it already has a postmark.

Factual error: After Calvin logged in a bank account with admin password on his Acer PC at home, he speaks about Chinese bank accounts. But the displayed CH stands for Switzerland. China would be CN. (00:30:30)

Factual error: During the scene when Ed the I.T. guy is working on his laptop to fix the problem with the presentation, his laptop is sitting on top of a couple of Cisco network switches with cables connected to them. The ports on the front of the switch where the cables are plugged in would have flashing lights on to show power and connectivity, as well as lights on the left-hand side of the device as we are looking at it, no lights are present which suggests it is not powered up and connected to anything. (00:06:58)

Factual error: Deputy Winston introduces herself and says she's with the Bunyan County Sheriff's Department. Her cruiser is mislabeled with Ackamas County Sheriff markings. (00:57:00)

Factual error: The nearest tube station to Wembley Stadium is Wembley Park or Wembley Central and not Park Royal at all.

Factual error: When Steve Carell is telling his nephew Jesse Eisenberg that he is leaving his wife, the view from his 1930s era Hollywood Hills home shows the modern skyscraper-filled LA downtown skyline.

Factual error: When Vinny Panzienza has his cervical halo brace removed (without anesthetics), he yells and groans and grunts in pain, but his hands are relaxed on the arms of the chair. I can tell you, from experience with this exact situation, the pain is so intense that his hands should have been clenched as tight as a vise.

Factual error: In the Templehoff Airport flyover scene there are Soviet era Antonov An-12 propeller driven aircraft on the tarmac. These were first used by the Soviets in 1953.

Factual error: Kim is seen using a first generation iPhone in the 2006 scenes. The iPhone was not released until summer 2007.

Factual error: The email Vee gets at the start is dated 2017, and calls for her to become part of the class of 2020. If she went to CalArts in September of 2017, she would be part of the class of 2021. (00:01:05)

Factual error: After the death of his beloved pet turtle, Conner is on a downward spiral. One of the headlines that appear as paparazzi follow him (before he gets KTFO'd by Martin Sheen) has a "Friday August 08, 2015" date. Which was a Saturday. (00:58:10)
