Fed to the Sharks - S2-E21

Other mistake: Two FBI agents are speeding along a utility road trying to get to the airport and prevent a plane from taking off. They come across a closed steel gate in their way. They speed up the SUV and crash through the gate, and they get through as the gate breaks into many pieces. When their car gets to the airport we can see the SUV and there is not even a scratch on it.

Show generally

Factual error: None of the spacesuits have seals at the neck. The helmets just sit on the suit. No way that would work in a vacuum.

Plot hole: Echelon controlled satellites hit targets on Earth with pinpoint accuracy. A lot of them involve creating storms to ravage an objective. One of them is started over 18 hours away from the target (how they know is another mystery), but this is what gives the characters time and allows the movie plot to continue to the end to defeat Echelon.

Factual error: Declan takes a gun from his glove compartment and nothing else. I counted that he fired 22 shots before being put down. There is no way that gun had a 22+ round magazine.

Factual error: While measuring the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) being given off by Stonehenge in the film, a scientist exclaims that the frequency is increasing to over 100 Gigahertz, and is approaching radioactivity. This is absurd. EMF is radiation of electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum of frequencies. Its strength depends on the frequency at which it is measured, with no relation to radioactivity whatsoever. It has a magnetic and an electrical component, but no nuclear breakdown as such.

Hoping for Forever - S1-E10

Factual error: Trust called Proxima B an "eyeball" planet, meaning according to him a planet that does not spin on its own axis and always has one side facing the sun. That is incorrect. If only one side faces the sun it means the rotation on its axis and its revolution around the sun are the same.Otherwise, the planet would seasonally have all of its surface facing the sun once every solar year.

Character mistake: Nikki lost her insulin kit and needs insulin. Her mother suggests getting her a fruit juice, something sweet. Fruit juice contains a large amount of sugar which raises blood sugar levels very quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes are usually best to avoid drinking fruit juice. Her suggestion is absurd.

Revealing mistake: Corporal Shah is tied and on a chair in the command center. He then receives a powerful blow to his left check, knocking him sideways and rendering him unconscious. But his glasses do not even move a millimeter.

toroscan

Continuity mistake: There are several fist fights between Cain and Adam. In most of them one scene does not relate to the previous one. For example, Cain is walking away, and the next cut shows them embraced in a shoving match. This discontinuity happens in many encounters.

Factual error: A library assistant is showing his cellphone to a Fed. The Fed pulls out his gun and shoots the assistant from about 8 inches away into his left temple. Another Fed, standing to the immediate right of the assistant is shown after the shot. But there is no blood or material spray on him at all. His white shirt is immaculate. In fact, there is no blood anywhere.

Factual error: The Life One spacecraft is hit by a micrometeoroid. Sparks are to fly, among other effects. The sparks are bifurcated, meaning they were produced by using a grinder, not by a micrometeoroid collision.

Dead Ringer - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum goes to Jack Hill's house to investigate a murder. The home has a smart lock, so he breaks in through a window. Later, Det. Chris Childs goes to the same house. This time the front is different and there is a keyhole and a pushbutton for the doorbell.

NSFW - S5-E4

Factual error: The lady who was killed had been using a shredder "for over ten minutes straight" the night she was killed, according to the handyman. Nothing was apparently missing, though. The next day it turned out that what she received was an employment contract. No matter how many pages the contract was, it does not take ten minutes to shred.

NSFW - S5-E4

Factual error: Higgins finds a bloodstained bag in the dumpster. The stain is bright red. The blood belongs to a person who was killed late the previous night, around midnight. After being in the hot sun for many hours the blood would have oxidized and be closer to a brown color, not bright red.

Continuity mistake: Evelyn is reading the instructions for the transition. Item 4 says "Don't forget to breath." When she reads them again prior to pressing the green button, the note now correctly says "Don't forget to breathe."

toroscan

Other mistake: Soldiers are shown wearing camouflage BDUs. They have an American flag sewn on their right sleeve. But the flag is of the wrong type. When a flag is worn on the right sleeve, the field of stars faces the front. In this scene their flags have the field of stars to the rear. Those flags are meant to be worn on the left sleeve. It is a tradition that dates back to the 1860s. (00:57:33)

Factual error: The nuclear missiles are shown in flight numerous times. They're travelling horizontally, and have their rocket motors on. Except that long range nuclear missiles are ballistic, and follow a curved path to and from space. And their rocket motors are on only for the thrust phase of the flight, and not halfway to the target.

toroscan

Factual error: There are numerous minor errors in this movie in addition to the major ones I cited in other entries. - A person is killed when he falls in the aisle during turbulence. After a very jarring emergency landing, the body has not moved an inch. - The survivors are "in the middle of the jungle" yet there was a road wide and long enough and unobstructed to allow the plane to land with the gear down.

Factual error: After a power outage the captain states that operating on batteries (?) he has 10 minutes of power, followed by an uncontrolled descent. That is ludicrous. Aircraft can glide to a landing with no power or engines. Further, commercial airliners have a Ram Air Turbine that can supply hydraulic as well as electrical power even if the engines are not functioning.

toroscan

Factual error: Electrical power is lost due to thunderstorms/turbulence. Even if one admits that were possible, the captain tries to transmit a mayday signal. But he states that he has no altimeter, no navigation, no radar, no ADI. Some is true, but even without power an airplane has a functioning altimeter, a magnetic compass, an airspeed indicator, and an Attitude Directional Indicator (ADI). (00:15:55)
