Other mistake: The scene at night after the storm ends, they wake up and the time is shown at the bottom of the screen of 00:30am, ie. 24 hour time. Another night later on in the film, the time is shown as 12:30am.

Jon Krakauer: I've gotta ask the question and you know I do. Why?
Beck Weathers: Why? because ITS there.
Question: Sounds a bit weird to me that there would be a direct flight from Christchurch to Kathmandu in the beginning of the movie?

Answer: I did an Internet search, and every flight from Christchurch to Katmandu has at least two stopovers. However, the film takes place about two decades ago and there is no readily available information on flight paths for that time.
