Wanted (2008)

Corrected entry: Early in the movie, Wesley is talking about his father leaving when Wesley was only 7 days old. Part of his monologue was what his father must have said when his father left. "Did I just father the most insignificant a-hole of the 21st century?" Wesley Gibson is at least in his 20s. The movie came out in 2008. As a 7 day old, we would be the "most insignificant a-hole" of the 20th century, not the 21st.

Correction: His father knew, as did Wesley, that the majority of Wesley's life, including the part during which he would be an "insignificant a-hole", would take place during the 21st century.

Wanted (2008)

Corrected entry: After cursing out his boss, Wesley leaves the building and sees several newspaper boxes with him and Fox in the store shootout as the cover story. They are wanted and it shows artist sketches and a still shot from a security camera (like help is needed from the public to identify them). Since he just had his prescription filled and does so often, the pharmacist would have his full name.

Correction: Yes, he would. But the pharmacist would have to recognize the wanted man as Wesley and then choose to turn him in. Otherwise the police would have no way of knowing that Wesley uses that particular pharmacy, or which of all the patients the pharmacist serves is the man they are looking for.

Wanted (2008)

Corrected entry: The gun Wesley takes from the toilet should not be able to shoot since it has been in water.

Correction: Not so. It is possible that a gun that's been submerged may not fire, but it's not a given. There are even some guns that are specifically designed to be able to do just that.
