Factual error: The depiction of lasers is completely off in the movie. While surgical laser is indeed a real thing, such a highly concentrated beam with enormous cutting power seen in the film would take industrial size instruments and an extremely high power supply. Also, a laser beam simply doesn't look that way. Those scenes are way off into science fiction for an otherwise raw and realistic-looking thriller.

A Quiet Place (2018)
Factual error: When the kid falls into the corn storage, he begins to sink instantly, just like his sister afterwards. When the alien creature attacks them, it's got no problem walking on the seeds despite its thin legs.

Grand Theft Auto III
Factual error: Liberty City is a fictional place but it is situated in the real USA. Despite that, the digital temperature clocks in Bedford Point Square display the temp in Celsius. The American temperature unit is Fahrenheit, not Celsius.

Cruis'n World
Factual error: The underwater tunnels in the Hawaii stage are placed too high to be at correct level connecting with the Ocean below, let alone going underwater. In fact, the roadway never even gets in level with the Ocean surface, so it's a topographical anomaly.

Tony Hawk's Underground 2
Factual error: The School level in this game takes place in South Africa (presumably in Johannesburg) while in the first Tony Hawk game, the very same level is located in Miami, USA.

Common mistakes
Factual error: Many times in movies, we can see the hero running into a burning building or approaching a burning vehicle to save someone, then escape from the flames with only a few black coal spots on his face. In reality, the extreme heat would make it impossible for an unprotected person to get THAT close to fiercely burning fire. Even if he can overcome his natural instinct, the pain from hot air would be unbearable (it's nearly as excruciating as direct burning) and leave him with severe injuries.

Common mistakes
Factual error: In movies including fighter jet battle scenes, the pilot bailing out from a terminally damaged plane can walk away immediately after touching ground. In reality, emergency ejection is very stressful to the human body, even if trained. The least you can expect is back pain, dizziness, ringing ears and numb legs for days, but the pilot can even fall unconscious from the sudden shock while descending. EE is much more unpleasant and less heroic than usually depicted in films.

Cart Fury: Championship Racing
Factual error: In the driver bios section of the PS2 version, it is falsely stated that Tony Kanaan is Italian. He is Brazilian.
