Factual error: When Joe is first imprisoned in 1993 he's flicking through channels and passes a scene from Xena: Warrior Princess. Xena didn't air until 1995.
Oldboy (2013)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Spike Lee
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley
Continuity mistake: After the "Single Shot" fight sequence, watch closely as the camera cuts and Joe is stabbed in the back. The background (and the beaten-up henchmen strewn about on the floor) completely changes between shots. A section of the fight was cut out by the studio for pacing reasons, causing the mistake.
Chaney: Shit, you might wanna think about what you're doing here.
Joe Doucett: I've been thinking about it for the last 20 years.
