Deep Impact (1998)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Mimi Leder
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Robert Duvall, Elijah Wood, James Cromwell, Vanessa Redgrave, Téa Leoni
Factual error: After the initial impact of the small comet, the clouds are all blown away. Yet in every further scene there is normal cloud cover, including the shots from space.
Alan Rittenhouse: I know you're just a reporter, but you used to be a person, right?
Trivia: If you happen to have the DVD version of the film, have a look at one of the trailers. In the movie trailer they show the comet hitting the ocean at an almost right-angle. In the actual movie the comet enters the atmosphere at an angle, thus letting the people watch the comet travel to across the sky into the ocean.
Question: How does the government hear about the comet? The scientist saves the information to a disk then takes the disk in the car with him. He crashes and the car catches fire. The disk would have been destroyed.

Answer: It could have been salvaged and worked on, plus he was calling people in authority. There would have been an investigation into the crash, which leads back the young boy and the comet.
