House of Gucci picture

Character mistake: Aldo tells Rodolfo to reconcile with his son, saying "Sunday is my birthday." Aldo Gucci was born on May 26th, which was not a Sunday in 1980 nor 1981, which is when the scene would take place. (00:31:30)

The Lost Daughter picture

Character mistake: When Bianca's mother leaves the room Bianca says "I'll give you three more seconds to come back" and counts on her finger but she counts backwards starting with one finger, then two then three shown as she says "three, two one." She should have shown three fingers, then two and then one. (00:34:35)

The Gardener picture

Character mistake: The Gardener threw a knife that impaled an intruder's gut, essentially rendering the intruder incapacitated. At this point, the intruder was no longer a threat and did not pose imminent danger, therefore the Gardener was NOT justified in shooting the intruder in the forehead and killing him. The Gardener could be charged with some degree of murder, such as voluntary manslaughter (provoked and loss of self-control or inability to control emotions). (01:15:20 - 01:15:55)

Belfast picture

Character mistake: Ms. Lewis said, "Mr. Buddy, you may not have improved your handwriting in maths, for which, this once, in lieu of your intensified efforts, we will be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you have improved your score." "In light of" - not "in lieu of" - would make sense. But if a student's numbers on math homework are illegible, the teacher should NOT give the benefit of the doubt, especially when doing so changes the ranks of other students to the point of being lower. (00:36:07)

Suggested correction: It's not known that his numbers were illegible. The audience may be led to think that he followed advice and made his numbers hard to read, but there's no evidence to prove that's what happened. The teacher saying that his handwriting hadn't improved isn't the same as saying it had gotten worse.

The Forgiven picture

Character mistake: David said, "Camels bite. I hear they like to bite people in the stomach. It's the leading cause of death among the Arabs." This is absurd. Generally, leading causes of death are heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure; auto accidents may be the leading cause for certain age groups, and deaths from infectious diseases may be increasing. Resorting to statistics on the deadliest "animals", camels are not even in the top 15. Deer and bees (#14-15) cause about 100 deaths each yearly. (00:24:15)

The Free Fall picture

Character mistake: Over the phone, Julie told her sister Sara, " I got them [parents] a bouquet", pronouncing the "T" in bouquet. Bouquet has French origin so the "T" is silent. Bouquet is properly pronounced like bow-kay (American English) or boo-kay (British English). (00:00:55)

Hard Hit picture

Character mistake: The man on the phone told Mr. Lee he wanted $960,000 cash plus $1,726,000 transferred into his account. Because the Deputy Manager was killed when the bomb in his car exploded, Mr. Lee was later told he had to pay for his share, another $1,726,000 - so he needed to transfer $3,456,000. But $1,726,000 + 1,726,000 = $3,452,000. (00:11:20 - 00:20:32)
