211 (2018)

211 picture

Factual error: The vehicles in the convoy are supposed to be armored since the bullet fired by 50 BMG was absorbed into the glass. First off the vehicles are standard, not up armored since the windows are standard factory and not thick ones used in up-armored cars. The highest rated armored car is B7 which will stop armor piercing not 50 BMG. Also, the windows completely shatter after being shot out; armored windows will never shatter, they stick together and chip off. (00:03:00 - 00:05:00)

A Dark Place picture

Factual error: The blue license plate with yellowing lettering has not been used in Pennsylvania since 1999.

A 2017 Pennsylvania plate was (and still is) white in the middle with a strip of blue along the top and yellow along the bottom. (00:19:52 - 01:19:30)

Love, Simon picture

Factual error: Simon receives an email notification at the dinner table from Blue on his cell phone.

Suggested correction: Frankenstein wasn't saying she had the other half of his right arm (i.e. his left arm), just that the 2 arms came from 2 people who were cousins.

Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell picture

Factual error: At the beginning 'researchers' are working on the 60th parallel in the province of nunavut. Nunavut is not a province; it is a Canadian territory. They appear to be working in the winter. At the 60th parallel, the winter would be almost dark and the sun would never be that high in the sky. Given that sun, it would be summer. In the summer, you would not have that snow cover.

Welcome Home picture

Factual error: When Cassie finds Bryan's phone, Federico sends a text containing a video of Bryan cheating on Cassie. The time displayed on the phone is 6:35PM and the date displayed is May 7, however the scene currently takes place at night and every time an exterior shot of the house is shown during this time, the sky is dark. 6:35PM in May is way too early of a time in the evening for it to already be the middle of night. At that time of year, the sun would not set until much later in the evening. (01:10:55)

God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness picture

Factual error: There is absolutely no way the university would have the authority to have the church torn down by a demo team when Dave and Pearce find them doing just that. Nowhere near enough time has passed for eminent domain laws to have been enacted. It often takes a year or more just for these things to go to trial, and there's a good chance the university would lose the case anyways.

Factual error: Wilde and Bosie meet at a railway station that is just signed "Rouen." There were then two main railway stations in Rouen: Rouen-Rive-Droite and Rouen Saint-Sever (or Rouen-Rive-Gauche). Neither would have a sign saying just "Rouen."
