United 93 (2006)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Paul Greengrass
Starring: Olivia Thirlby, David Alan Basche, Gary Commock, J.J. Johnson, Liza Colon-Zayas, Opal Alladin, Polly Adams
Continuity mistake: After the hijackers have taken over the plane, the blond flight attendant's hair, styled in a French Twist, keeps changing from messy (presumably from the chaos) to as smooth and neat as when she boarded the plane. She's never offscreen long enough to have simply fixed it. Not until the passengers revolt does it remain disheveled.
Ziad Jarrah: Open the door. Open the door and nobody will be hurt.
Trivia: The FAA National Operations Manager, Ben Sliney, was played by himself. September 11/2001 was also his first day on the job.
Question: In the beginning of the movie, why were the hijackers shaving their chests and genital areas? Is this some kind of religious ritual?

Answer: Muslims are supposed to remove their pubic and armpit hair at least every 40 days. It is part of being clean and they would want to be as clean as possible while committing an act on behalf of their religion.
