Factual error: The warden, sergeant, and a couple of other members of the parole board are seated at a long table, so their upper bodies are in the open. When 10 shots are fired at them at close range, there is no blood splatter and little visible blood. (00:20:47)
Factual error: Amy never pays or is asked to pay for her drive-thru order at "Taco Tree". She places her order at the intercom, drives up to the window, and is handed her order with no exchange of money. She is given a receipt in her bag of food. (00:44:40 - 00:45:45)
Factual error: Henk arrives in Moscow. The KGB gets a copy of his passport. In the next scene, a building can be seen, and a Trabant 601 drives through the shot (one light out). Trabant was East German made and widely exported on the Eastern Block but never to the Soviet Union. This car is definitely wrong there. (00:30:40)
Factual error: In the film, Blackberry is shown being "raided" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a Canadian company with its headquarters in Canada, the SEC, by itself, has no jurisdiction to effectuate such a raid on the premises. In real life, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) brought the case against Blackberry co-CEO, Jim Balsillie.
Factual error: The take-out food container has "sweet potatoe" written on the top, misspelling "potato." (00:06:50)
Factual error: The storm chasers are meeting by the road and you see the sign for I-90 East in the background several times. This movie takes place in and around Texas, yet the route that I-90 takes is nowhere remotely close to that far south.
Factual error: When the pen starts writing by itself, in the Spanish release the text that the group finds reads 'La sabiduría de Salomón'. The accent is missing, the correct spelling should be 'sabiduría'.
Factual error: Though admitting the artistic license of Dom's car freefalling and safely landing on the damms' spillway, after it gets engulfed in flames both inside and outside, the fire doesn't burn or even scorch any of the tyres, upholstery, nor a single inch of Bryan or Dom's skin or clothes.
Factual error: Early in the film, as the train pulls into the station, you can see 2 European Traffic Control Systems. A signalling system that was only installed in 2010.
Factual error: When Marcus is walking down the street after first meeting the team, he gets picked up by Johnny and his sister. You can see Government of Manitoba vehicles in the background, while the movie is set in Des Moines, Iowa. (00:22:38)
Factual error: Mr. Monk is crossing off days on a calendar until Trudy's passing anniversary. Three days before, he says "only two days left." Mr. Monk is too much of a perfectionist to say that. How did this happen?
Factual error: The thick chain-links - between both sides of the driver's door - do not prevent the door from being completely closed (but ought to). (00:13:55 - 00:14:33)
Factual error: When driving to meet the Jordans you can see a white car in the distance on the right that is from the 21st century. (04:01:00 - 04:04:00)
Factual error: Kat morphs by calling for the Pterodactyl but she wasn't a ranger when the Pterodactyl was in use, she became the pink Ninja Ranger so her call should have been, "pink ranger power!"
Suggested correction: It's explained in the movie. Alpha made proxie power coins, in order for them to access the dino powers. She was given the Pterodactyl coin and the dino powers to get Tommy, Jason, and Kimberly back.
Factual error: The flat screen TV shown in the room with Jose Hernandez's wife is not era correct. The TV shown is manufactured post-2009. The launch occurred in 2009. (01:46:11)
Factual error: Kristin meets Lorenzo at the airport. He asks for her number, which she gives him. Later when he calls her, her Mafia family take the phone and smash it to pieces while she's talking. They give her a new burner phone. They say they did a background check on Lorenzo. How? The family never met him at the airport, the only time she saw him. Further, when they meet for dinner (how she found him is another mystery), she shows him a picture of her son on the phone. How did a photo get on her new phone?
Factual error: In the famous "Rumble In The Jungle" fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, the movie portrays Foreman as fighting out of the red corner and Ali fighting out of the blue corner. In the actual fight, Ali fought out of the red corner and Foreman was in the blue.
Factual error: Lenny, using a manual typewriter in 1889, would not be able to type that fast or the striking keys be able to produce a sound similar to that of an electronic typewriter (not available until decades later). A manual typewriter's single key had to have time to retract (at least partially) before the next key could strike to prevent the keys from overlapping and getting stuck together. Equally paced, rapid striking sounds were not possible for an extended period of time. (00:47:07)
Factual error: Max sees a dog he wants to adopt at the "Seattle Animal Shelter" and the shelter worker tells him, "Just bring her back in a week to get spayed." All dogs/cats in Seattle shelters (as well as virtually all across the U.S.) must be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. [This also falls under "plot hole" and "character" mistakes.] (00:07:45 - 00:08:40)
Factual error: It's not physically possible to remotely cause an elevator to fall to the bottom of the shaft. Even if the Heart somehow gained full control over the motor, there are emergency brakes on the elevator itself that engage if the elevator begins to reach an unsafe speed.
