Corrected entry: As Marcus goes onstage, he does not have a microphone in his hands, but after he drops his tank top, he magically has a mic in his left hand and starts rapping. (01:05:10 - 01:06:00)
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Jim Sheridan
Starring: Joy Bryant, 50 Cent, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Omar Benson Miller
Factual error: In the movie, Marcus is out of high school, probably in his late teens, early 20's. Going by 50 cent's age, this would probably put the movie back in the mid 90's. When he flashes back, he's younger, put it in the late 80's. Well, in one sequence when he's young, he's playing with friends and has on red and white low Air Jordan 2's on. These were not made in this color until 2004. Same in another sequence when he's talking to Majestic while eating fast food, he's wearing some white and green Air Jordan 4's, which also didn't come out til 2004, which in fact is when the movie was filmed.
Trivia: Viola Davis plays 50 Cent's grandmother in the movie, even though in real life she's only 10 years older than him.

Correction: The mic didn't "magically appear". He pulled it from his back pants.
