Deliberate mistake: When Lara and Terry escape the Shay-Ling, they are shown leaving the area and pass a sign that says 'Shanghai - 74 KM.' On a remote mountain passage, coming from a presumably well-secluded encampment. In English. Fat chance. (00:47:45)
Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Ciaran Hinds, Chris Barrie
Factual error: In beginning scene with the shark, it growls when it sees Lara. C'mon, how many sharks actually growl? (00:14:15)
Lara: I'm laughing at the fact I used to find you charming.
Terry: I am charming.
Trivia: A man actually doubles for Angelina Jolie during the "squirrel suit" jump sequence - he is one of the two inventors of the suit, the other doubling for Gerard Butler.
Question: Exactly how plausible was the jump from the skyscraper that Terry and Lara did with their suits? With those very small "wings" or whatever the proper name for those yellow extensions is that were attached to their suits, in reality wouldn't they have plummeted to the ground instead of gliding away?

Answer: Very plausible. The suits exist - they are called glide suits or wingsuits and lots more info can be found with a quick Google search.
