Factual error: A remarkable error. Late in the movie there is a shot where extremely large, perfectly round blood-stains are shown on the street as soldiers are shown giving chase to the wounded monster. These ignore basic physics. Whilst the source of the blood may be huge, individual blood drops would not have been proportionately larger.
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953)
1 factual error
Directed by: Eugene Lourie
Starring: Kenneth Tobey, Cecil Kellaway, Paul Hubschmid, Paula Raymond
Continuity mistake: When the Beast first tears down the streets of New York, a lone police officer empties his service revolver at the beast before being eaten. A few minutes later, a group of a half dozen police officers pump their shotguns before firing at the beast - the officer who was already eaten after firing his revolver can be seen alive in the far left of the screen as one of the officers readying his shotgun.
