Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire picture

Factual error: During the scene inside the submarine, you see a Commander (O5) giving orders to a captain (O6). This would never be a thing on any vessel. You would have a Commander as a Commanding Officer on a submarine, but not having a Captain working for the Commander.

Civil War picture

Factual error: At the Western Front camp near Washington, you can see tanks moving with their cannons raised to the highest angle. In reality, tanks move with their cannons in a horizontal position. The cannon is raised only when it needs to hit a high target, such as a high floor of a building.

The Beekeeper picture

Factual error: The movie is set in the US, but there are several things which aren't found in the US that give away the fact that it was shot in the UK. In one scene, a Tesco superstore can be seen in the background and the lift bridge seen in the film is Kings Ferry Bridge which connects the Isle of Sheppey to the Kent mainland.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F picture

Factual error: When Axel first drives from the airport (while on the phone) towards Beverly Hills, he is coming from the wrong direction. He is shown on the interchange from the 105 Freeway westbound to the northbound 110 Freeway heading towards Downtown LA. If coming from the airport to that same intersection, he would be on the 105 eastbound into the 110 - not westbound.
