Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (2023)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell
Factual error: Gabriel kills the engineer and sets the train to full speed, then locks the control room. Without the engine being resupplied with coal it would lose power and stop before too long, never getting as far as the bridge.

Suggested correction: It is known for firemen to fill the loco up to allow it to run for 15-20 minutes without new coal. However, it could not run that long at that speed without the boiler being refilled with water, so the boiler would have exploded well before the fire reduced.
Luther Stickell: Ethan, what's your objective? What's your ultimate objective?
Ethan Hunt: Your life will always matter more to me than my own.
Luther Stickell: None of our lives can matter more than this mission.
Ethan Hunt: I don't accept that.
Trivia: After a delay caused by positive covid tests, Tom Cruise personally paid half a million pounds for a cruise ship for the cast and crew to isolate themselves on during filming.
Question: When Ethan and Grace are "racing" with the Fiat 500, the sound of the engine does not sound right. To me, it should be rougher. To me, the sound was more of an electric car, especially during gaining speed. Or, did I miss something?
Answer: While it looks like a normal Fiat 500, this is a specialised IMF car, as evidenced by the controls inside and its ludicrously high speed. It being electric is in line with that.
