Factual error: Swain was leading to Shute 9-13. He got an escape, then a takedown, then a fall. The score should have been 12-13 when he got the fall, but the scoreboard still showed 9-13 after the match when he was celebrating with his team. (01:43:33)

Balls of Fury (2007)
Character mistake: When Randy is introduced for his semi-final match, he comes out to "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard. The announcer says the song is by the "supergroup" Def Leppard. A supergroup is comprised of band members who were previously successful solo artists or band members prior to joining this band. Def Leppard is an original band. None of the band members were famous or successful prior to this band. (00:03:00)
Suggested correction: At best, this is trivia. Perhaps if the announcer was in the music business and knew the music jargon, it could be seen as a character mistake. I myself never knew "supergroup" had a specific meaning until you mentioned it. To me, it sounded like he just thought Def Leppard was super. Like calling them a totally radical group, despite no members being radicals - someone who wants complete political or social reform.

Continuity mistake: When Travis finds Arliss and Old Yeller in the drinking water, he throws a rock at Old Yeller. Old Yeller is wet all over.

Old Yeller is lying on the ground dry as he can be. He was just in the water a little over a minute ago, yet there is no sign of wetness at all in his fur. (00:15:45 - 00:17:11)

Cast Away (2000)
Factual error: When Chuck cleans out the pocket of the dead pilot, we see the pilot's employee ID badge. He is employee number 186801 and was hired in 1987. I was hired in 1992 with an ID number of 161XXX. My brother was hired in 1988 with an ID number of 88XXX. The pilot's ID number should have been lower than my brother's.
