Factual error: After the boat has blown up and sunk, Ben swims over to it and checks it out, very little to anything is even a little charred, with that big of an explosion everything would be burnt, and black.
Fool's Gold (2008)
Directed by: Andy Tennant
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Alexis Dziena
Factual error: In the beginning of the movie after Tess' divorce and she wants to pursue Nigel to weigh anchor she says that it doesn't make sense to wait at Key West for the helicopter with Gemma. However in the background there are islands with quite high hills visible. The highest elevation in the whole Florida Keys (where Key West belongs to) is 18 feet. (00:27:25)
Continuity mistake: After the divorce has been made final and Tess and Ben are outside, you can see that Ben's shirt has gotten considerably dryer than in the previous shot without a reasonable amount of time for it to have done so.
Tess Finnegan: Your uselessness is epic.
Tess' Attorney: Florida didn't ruin your life, you did. You married the guy for sex, then expected him to be smart.
Tess Finnegan: Nigel, I'm so sorry, but she's gotta learn that there's better ways to get attention than acting like a bimbo.
Alfonz: Like what?
