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 Forgiven (2021)
1 character mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Michael McDonagh
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Jessica Chastain, Matt Smith
Genres: Drama
Other mistake: Right before the "Y" in the road, it could be seen that Richard's speedometer was pointing to the far left, indicating that he was driving at a low speed, such as 5 - 10 MPH. When Richard was looking at the damage to the car, he said, "Smashed headlights, smashed bumper. Must have been going at a fair clip." The damage to the car, as well as Driss' death from the impact, seem severe at such a low speed. (00:07:40 - 00:16:09)
Trivia: Leila, talking to Tom about Driss being hit and killed by David's car, said, "I heard one of the boys saying his legs were pulped. The dead man. They didn't just hit him. They ran over him. Maybe more than once. What do you call it in your country? They have a word for it?" Tom, probably being facetious, replied, "Roadkill." "Roadkill" typically only refers to animals. (00:24:29)
