Vegas Vacation (1997)

Factual error: Near the beginning, it's clear we're in Chicago because we're hearing a Chicago radio station. Clark turns the corner before nearly running into people in the road. You can see mountains in the background very briefly. The Griswold house was one of the properties on the Warner Brothers Ranch in Burbank, California which has since been demolished.

Quantum Leap (2022)

S.O.S. - S1-E14

Factual error: Some of the crew members are standing on deck while the ship is firing. They're close to the guns. Not only are the guns very loud and thus would destroy their hearing, those men would potentially be physically injured by the shock.

Uncharted (2022)

Factual error: Chloe and Nathan use a GPS tracker in their phone while Sully is above them searching for key holes. They're both able to stay together due to this. The problem is Chloe and Nate are underground. GPS uses satellites and they wouldn't work underground.

Yellowstone (2018)

No Good Horses - S1-E3

Factual error: The intro takes place in March. The trees in the background say otherwise. In the mountains in March, leaves are usually not fully developed on trees until April at the earliest. The scene was likely shot in the fall.

Factual error: The movie takes place in Washington D.C, however the sequence with Hector Savage held up at his house was filmed in Los Angeles. This is obvious as the sequence features palm trees, and mountains are visible at times.

Factual error: Throughout the film Stephen Dorff talks to the other agent on the CB. CBs have no way to receive while transmitting, yet the two men overlap each other's conversations.

Factual error: The Wells Fargo Center is visible in multiple shots throughout the film. It was built in 1998, the same year the film was shot. It was certainly not around when the film was set, 1985.
