Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6
Character mistake: Bill Burke's chest holsters are completely not practical and unfit for the kind of guns he's carrying. Just look at the scene when he's leaning towards the Child to grab him, and watch how awkwardly his arm bends. (00:12:30)
11th Jan 2021
Character mistake: Barbara mentions that Kush went extinct in 4 AD. Maybe the fourth century? In 4 AD the civilization was still alive and well, and the collapse happened around the 4th century. (01:27:45)
Suggested correction: Barbara didn't say it went extinct in 4 AD. She says the stone appeared in Kush in 4 AD.
11th Jan 2021
Character mistake: When Barbara gives the hilarious back story of the wishing stone, she mentions that "Romulus, the last emperor of Rome, he had it on him when he was assassinated in 476." That's an amazing historical find in itself, because Romulus Augustulus (just "Romulus" is not really correct) was never assassinated; he had to abdicate the title in that year, but then lived the rest of his life in exile. It's worth noting that the novelization of the movie talks about Romulus, Rome's FIRST ruler, and his 'mysterious disappearance'. (01:27:45)
Suggested correction: Not a mistake in the movie for Barbara to give inaccurate information on history, since she is rushing through all of it without fact checking everything. He focus is the stone, not what happened to Romulus.
I don't see what's wrong with saying it's a character mistake, really. By that logic, any bit of historical context provided in a movie could be incorrectly stated as long as it comes from someone who is in a rush. I find more interesting to report when something said in a movie for a serious purpose is wrong and not challenged.
She's not an educated historian, OK for her to be mistaken. If she however says wrongful things about something she is supposed to be an expert in, that's a character mistake.
It's not OK for her to be mistaken because when you specifically research for something (she has super-fast reading powers now and her task was to do some complex history research, it was not a random mistake playing Trivial Pursuit) there's no way to get that piece of information wrong; she is tracing the path the stone took, the fate of its last known owner is important. That being said, I don't particularly care about her status as expert (which she is, having done a specific research as said); dramatically speaking it's the bit of historical context the movie provides, it should not have mistakes in it when they do not have a payoff.

Character mistake: Greeting Steve in his gardens, the Emir says "Your fortune the last few days has been impressive to say the least." It literally happened overnight, not 'days'. (01:16:50)
17th Oct 2020
Character mistake: In the "Athena in Wonderland" quest, Episode 2 "Beautiful Cat Fighter?!", Kensou warns Cotton Tail Yuri about "That beautiful clothes" that she is wearing. Should be those, not that.
27th Sep 2020
Character mistake: In the presentation of the World Challenge mode, tutorial girl Sanae says that there are "5 possible attempts possible."
16th Sep 2020
Character mistake: Jason's dad comes out of the car and uses consistently for the first part of the movie his crutch supporting the side where he has the cast. Walking on just one crutch, you have to support the uninjured side. (00:08:55)
16th Sep 2020
Character mistake: In the opening scene with the mobsters threatening and then beating up Mr. Stillwell, the American flag in his dojo is hanged backwards, with the blue Union on the right. (00:04:20)
15th Sep 2020
Character mistake: Donatello is running a rather verbose program analyzing the scepter. On screen the text mentions the "time-space CONTINIUM" rather than "continuum." (00:17:45)
15th Sep 2020
Character mistake: Pretending to be a witch, April says that the song the walkman played was obtained because "I shrunk four incredibly cool guys and I locked them in there." The Barrio Boyzz were five at the song's release. Did she let one Barrio boy go? Was one of the Barrio Boyzz uncool? (00:16:40)
Character mistake: When Mike fights by the concession stand at the mall, the Reuben sandwich is misspelled on the menu in "Rueben." (00:06:35)
14th Sep 2020
Character mistake: When the camera pans to the frame containing the picture of Lars with his departed mother, the caption says "In memory of our beloved mother Mirra Gunnarsdottir", with a plain O. On the cross, her name is Mirra Gunnarsdóttir. It's two different letters, and it'd be pretty strange to honor the memory of your mother printing a photo with her name in the wrong form. (00:01:10)
13th Sep 2020
Character mistake: John Gleeson Connolly appears in the final credits as Lt. Alabama 'Bama' Cobb, but during the movie he's always called "Sergeant." When it's XXX to call him like that, adding that he was too dumb to make Captain, it's logical, as he'd basically address him as the rank they had when they served together and belittles him for not jumping in ranks all that much, but even the General addresses him as such in the Capitol Hill shootout. (01:18:30)
13th Sep 2020
Character mistake: At the party, George Deckert tries to sway his old army buddy and convince him to join the coup. He says "With or without you. Three days." Within minutes he gets killed. Day after, Stone goes to the air carrier. Then the day after is the State of the Union day, when the coup takes place. Not 'three days' then, but two. (00:38:50 - 00:58:20)
13th Sep 2020
Character mistake: Darius in his waiter suit arrives at the party and goes past two officers with flags. At the back of the room there are sequined versions of the flags hanging as banners; the US flag is displayed 'backwards', as the union section should be in the top left. With an official event with generals and top level official government brass present, that's a flagrant breach of etiquette. (00:37:20)
12th Sep 2020
Character mistake: When the unlikely trio of heroes gets off the helicopter and calmly boards the GTO, Samuel Jackson fails to properly close the car trunk, that stays semi-open. (00:13:55)
12th Sep 2020
Character mistake: When the drone looks Gibbons in the eye, the 'elevation' data keeps fluctuating wildly between 33 and 39 meters, which is obviously wrong. Besides, they are underground. (00:03:10)
12th Sep 2020
Character mistake: The officer at the control room screen mapping the advance of the invading force tells Gibbons that they've covered all the halls, but looking at the map it's simply not true; if the man is a highly qualified professional, he is doing a terrible job, because he provides no help and paints the situation under the wrong light not telling the responders where the bad guys are coming from and all the areas (about 2/3 at that point) that are still secure. (00:02:40)
12th Sep 2020
Character mistake: The bad guys at the beginning of the movie launch a drone that scans for target. The woman's data appears in the HUD and it says "Stacey Canon - Interpol REGISRTY" (00:02:20)
12th Sep 2020
Character mistake: When Xander tells Yelena "There must be something we can use", she goes through the manual and reads aloud "Harpoon, gun, parachutes built into seats, ejectable roof." Minutes later, Xander says that they must have missed something, and she says "Weapons, there are more weapons here in the back", and there's the harpoon gun she already read about earlier, she was even on that page of the manual. (01:43:50)
