Expend4bles (2023)

Factual error: Lee Christmas commandeers a small wooden boat from Thailand to intercept a container ship carrying nuclear materials. The distance between Thailand and Vladivostok is around 4,000 nautical miles. It is extremely unlikely that a small wooden boat would be able to motor from Thailand and intercept a container ship. It would never have enough fuel to go and return. Further, a container ship cruises at around 21 Knots, a much faster speed than a small wooden boat.

Expend4bles (2023)

Factual error: A clandestine team of men and women is being transported to near the coast of Vlavidostok to parachute down and capture nuclear detonators. They are shown being transported in a US Air Force C-130 Hercules. This is a no-no. The CIA does use the Lockheed L-100-30, the civilian version of the Hercules, but would never have Air Force markings for a clandestine operation, especially inside Soviet airspace.

Expend4bles (2023)

Factual error: The movie makes a mention of a CIA black site in the South Asia Sea. There is no such sea. Between the North Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean there are many "seas", the largest being the South China Sea. But there are also others such as the Andaman, Java, Banda, Timor, Celebes, and Sulu seas. There is no South Asia Sea.

Silo (2023)

Outside - S1-E10

Other mistake: Juliette and two cohorts need to go from Level 22 down to Level 125. Using the normal circular stairs, it would take several hours if not days to get there. They enter a garbage chute and climb down using a vertical ladder on the side - a very clumsy and slow descent. Yet, they make it in what appears to be a very short time.

The Black Demon (2023)

Continuity mistake: Chato is returning to the diving bell. He has on a full face mask and tanks. Yet in the next shots, he is shown approaching the bell and getting out of the water. He has no face mask and no tanks.

Under the Cloak of War - S2-E8

Other mistake: The Klingon ambassador burns his hand when grasping a goblet. It is the palm of this hand that is burnt. When he is treated in Sick Bay with a dermal regenerator, it is being used on top of his hand.

In Seldon's Shadow - S2-E1

Factual error: Season 2, Episode 1: Two women are diving and need to open an electrical panel. The mother drops the knife she is using to twist off the screws. Her daughter picks up the blade – by the blade and not the handle – and then proceeds to twist the access screws. The screws are on the panel at each front corner. When the panel is removed, there are no front-facing screw holes. All the screws seen are on the inside of the panel to the sides.

In Seldon's Shadow - S2-E1

Factual error: Season 2, Episode 1: Cleon is fighting some "ninja" warriors. One of them slices part of an android's head clean off, below the right eye. When the android is next seen - with part of its head cut off - the slice is above the right eye. The right eye is fine.

Locked Down (2021)

Question: In the movie, Paxton's boss decides to give him a chance to do an important delivery although the customer requested someone without a criminal record. His boss gives him fake identity documents, and his name is shown as Edgar Allen Poe. He is referred to as the poet and writer from the first half of the nineteenth century. Does anybody know why they would call him Edgar Allen Poe, when the real name was Edgar Allan Poe? A mistake? A deliberate thing? Is there a real reason for this? I am curious.

Triage - S4-E1

Other mistake: An assassin/courier is carrying a wooden box underneath his arm. When the box is delivered and opened, there are two severed hands inside. However, they are perfectly placed on each side of the box, with no visible means holding them in place. Why did they not shift to one side when the box was being carried under the person's arm in a vertical position?

Triage - S4-E1

Other mistake: A group of four operators have infiltrated a house and assassinated a victim by shooting him in his bed. Four rounds to the body are fired. When they go to the victim to get a confirmation sample, there is no blood seeping anywhere.

Triage - S4-E1

Other mistake: The opening scene shows a captive with a hood over his head being dragged barefoot along a long driveway by two men. His feet are dragging over the ground. He is then strung up by his hands, and when they show his feet, there is not a scratch on them.

Blonde (2022)

Other mistake: When Marilyn is standing on the subway grate and the skirt is billowing up, there is one of the takes where there is a dark spot near the front of the skirt. All others are spotless.

Blonde (2022)

Factual error: Norma Jean's mother is driving away from the house onto the street. She turns left and crosses a yellow dividing lane in the middle of the street. It is supposed to be 1933. But these yellow dividers did not come into existence until the 1950's.

Blonde (2022)

Continuity mistake: Young Norma Jean is shown a photo of her father placed at the head of her bed. It has him facing right and there is a large white defect in the photo at the upper left corner. When the photo is "talking" to her in a succeeding scene, he is facing left, and the defect is on the upper right corner.

Oxygen (1999)

Factual error: Liz is told by MILO that the planet they are heading for, Wolf 10-61c, has a permanent hot side and a permanent cold side due to its lack of rotation. Wrong. The planet circles its sun in 18 days. If it did not rotate, its sun would expose all sides of the planet to its rays every 18 days. In order to have permanent hot and cold sides, the rotation of the planet has to equal the 18 days around its sun. The same as the planet Mercury revolves and rotates at equal intervals around our Sun.

The Night Agent (2023)

The Devil We Know - S1-E9

Factual error: There are two Marines posted at Marine 1, the Presidential helicopter. Their pants are ridiculously long and not the image of Marines with well-fitted uniforms. Their position of attention is wrong, with the hands clenched and placed on their thighs as opposed to being fixed at the sides. Worse, when they saluted with their right hands were above the service cap brim, instead of the fingertips touching the bottom of the brim.

FILE #9 - S1-E9

Other mistake: Paul hands Abby a very thin envelope. It is supposed to contain: an insurance policy, a car title, a property deed, and an airline ticket, among other items. But that is impossible given how thin the envelope was.
