- FAKE: In season two, Sloane's wife Emily is supposed to have had her
ring finger cut off as part of the plan to fake her death and
disappearance; indeed, we see that it is missing in "Phase One".
However, her ring finger is visible and "intact" in several scenes
in later episodes, including one in "Truth Takes Time".
- CONT: In the first season finale, Irina tells Sydney she hasn't seen
her in almost thirty years. This is echoed in the episode title,

- FACT: In "Stalkerazzi" two of the investigators are discussing the
involvement of a movie star in a murder. One of the investigators,
Calleigh Duquesne says to the other that the movie star lied to them
about not owning a firearm. Her coworker replied, "He registered a
handgun?" to which Calleigh smiles, nods and says, "9 mil" ([9
millimeter]). Florida law neither requires nor provides a method to
register handguns. Florida does issue a "Concealed Weapon or Firearm
License" which legally permits the licensee to carry a handgun
concealed, but application for the license does not require
divulging any information about the gun.
- FACT: In "The Oath", Horatio Caine says, "A .22 [caliber gun] is
registered to Gary Nielsen's wife." Florida law neither requires nor
provides a method to register handguns. Florida does issue a

- CHAR: In "Innocent" (Case_64), Horatio asks Alex to determine the
age of the dead porn star Anders. Her diagnosis is that Anders
cannot be older than 18 years, because her wisdom teeth have not yet
erupted and are more than five centimeters (!) below the gum line.
Five centimeters are approximately two inches, so what Alex
obviously meant was five millimeters.

# "Midsomer Murders" (1997)
- FAKE: In episode "Sins of Commission", Jezebel Tripp and Camilla
Poltova are both left-handed, but when Jezebel signs DS Scott's
autograph book, the movement of her hand obviously does not match
what she says she wrote, "Darling Danny, love Jezebel". It looks
more like three large circles. Later, when Camilla writes something
down, the movement of her hand is also unnatural to a left-handed
writer.

there. However, before the operator puts her through, he wishes Sir

six-shot cylinder. When he slams the cylinder closed, the second

24983a25225,25230
- FACT: The family lives in a house with a fully finished basement,
however one son complains he started digging a hole in the ground

# Deadline Autotheft (1983)
- CONT: The unmarked Plymouth Fury stalls in the warehouse at the
start, then is pushed out onto the loading bay and smashes through a
truck. In the next shot, it is still sitting stalled inside the
warehouse in the background.

mirror, and would therefore be unroadworthy. It certainly would not

can later be seen at the warehouse, with the same two detectives
driving, even though they fled the vehicle after the crash and into

- GEOG: The wave that hits the Statue of Liberty comes from behind it,
which in reality would have been coming from the Jersey City side.
The problem is that that the wave would be coming from a
northwesterly direction as it is shown. The wave was really supposed
to be coming from the southeast. So the wave should have hit the
front of the statue instead of the back.

him so that it will appear as if Brandt has committed the murders in
the Nether. However, only one gun is exchanged between them, and

- CONT: The characters do not appear in the final scene which shows
the ticker tape parade held in their honor - it was stock footage
taken from a silent serial to save the studio the cost of shooting a
final scene for this serial.
46224a46658,46662

holding any of the bullets and the magazine is full, although he
should have still been replacing the rounds.

# Glimpse of Hell, A (2001) (TV)
- CONT: The battle ship in the movie is supposed to be the USS Iowa.
The call number on the Iowa is BB-61. Throughout the movie, when the
camera is panning the ship out at sea, it clearly shows "63" on the
bow of the ship. That number is assigned for the USS Missouri
(Mighty Mo). The crew members are all wearing hats that show BB-61
on them, so it is obvious that the ship used to portray the Iowa is
not the real Iowa.

# Gojira (1954)
- FAKE: You can see the wires leading from the planes as they attack
Gojira.

that there was no way the dinosaurs were around two million years
earlier.

desert, Colonel Vogel walks alongside the car and talks to Donovan.
After having a drink, he steps back from the car and walks backwards
down the convoy and we see that the Colonel has clearly passed the
first car. In the next shot where Marcus says, "You are meddling
with powers you cannot possibly comprehend," the Colonel is not in
the shot, stepping into it later as if he had still been alongside
the first car.

closed and porn mags stacked on it which is quickly followed by a
shot with the lid up again when Elle is thrashing around blind.
66463,66467c67005,67010
- CREW: When in the coffin when she's calmed down and is looking
around her tomb, she looks down at her boots and the other end of
the coffin. You can clearly see the pea camera used to shoot the
very next shoot (looking up from her feet to her head) which is not
so carefully disguised as a knot in the wood in the upper center of
the foot board.
66656a67200,67210
# King Arthur (2004)
- DATE: Although the legend of Arthur has been told since about the
6th or 7th century, the familiar characters, Lancelot, Gawain,
Galahad, and even Guinevere didn't appear in the story until around
the mid-12th century, when the story (with its newly added love
interest!) became hugely popular in France.
- DATE: The first recorded use of the longbow was by the Welsh in 633
C.E., almost 200 years after the time that the movie is set.

tables in casinos are fixed to the floor to minimize the risk of
someone stealing chips by "accidentally" overturning the table and
scattering them on the floor.

- FAKE: When Kevin O'Shea's wife and daughters are watching the home
video of his tackle gone awry, what they are watching is obviously
from the film, complete with different angles and shots of him from
outside. His daughter could not have caught it all with the
camcorder.

# Mein Name ist Bach (2003)

- FACT: In both the end credits and the citation of the quote at the
beginning of the Plant Chapter, the name of the Smithsonian
Institute is misspelled as "Smithonian".
77146a77799,77805
- CHAR: Whenever Pliskin, Raiden and Rose mention the former leader of
Dead Cell, they refer to him as "Colonel Jackson". Since Dead Cell
is said to be a U.S. Navy unit, and the rank of "colonel" is never
used in the Navy, he should be called "Commander Jackson". (Vamp - a
Dead Cell member - later refers to Jackson with this correct rank,
so these errors were most likely intentional.)
78082a78742,78746
- CONT: Just before the start of the game against the Soviets in

out (after the trunk was opened) you can see the emergency safety
release handle hanging down, which would prevent him from actually
being locked in the trunk.
84118a84803,84810
- DATE: In the film, the book "The Nine Gates" displays an inverted
pentagram on its cover to represent it's Satanic content. However,
the inverted pentagram only became associated with Satanism and evil
in the late 19th century due largely to a work by the French
occultist Eliphas Levi. As the books were said to be in their
original 17th century Venetian bindings, the appearance of the
inverted pentagram is an anachronism.
85626a86319,86322
- FAKE: In the graveyard, when Thorne kneels at his son's grave, he
bumps the heavy stone lid quite easily, yet it takes both Thorne and
the photographer considerable effort to move it a moment later.

- FACT: The night of the murder, there are several very prominent
shots of (and verbal references to) a full moon. Only four evenings
later, as the murder is being investigated, Sally looks out at a
very thin first-quarter crescent moon. In reality, such a moon would
not appear until more than two weeks after a full moon.

- CONT: Edward presents Paige with the ring, but no one puts it on
her. In the next shot, when she is hugging him, you can see the ring
already on her finger.
- MISC: During filming, 'Luke Mably' (qv) accidentally cut himself on
the meat slicer. In the shot of Paige and Eddie dancing at the
coronation ball, you can see his left index finger wrapped up (in a
condom, according to Luke Mably in an interview) to cover the wound.

93873a94623,94633
- CONT: Before the airplane fight, Gobler addresses Dietrich in German
as "Herr Major", indicating Dietrich's rank equivalent to Major.
After the airplane fight, his voice has changed (see above
unsynchronized goof), and he changes Dietrich's rank to "Oberst"
(equivalent to Colonel).
- GEOG: Near the beginning, the plane shown flying toward the Golden
Gate Bridge is actually traveling eastward, inland away from the
ocean. This is apparent because the Fort Point Arch at the south end
of the bridge is visible on the right of the frame.
93928a94689,94699
- CONT: When railing about having to buy his underwear at a certain
Kmart store in Cincinnati, Raymond gives two different addresses for
the same store - 200 Oak and 400 Oak.
- PLOT: According to Raymond's rigidly set routines, he must watch
"People's Court" every day at the same time. But while traveling on
the road, this is theoretically impossible, since "The People's
Court" aired in syndication - different cities aired the show at
different times. (Also, crossing three time zones didn't seem to
affect his schedule in any way either.)

# Red Baron, The (1971)
- FACT: Hermann Goering was not assigned to the Flying Circus until he
took over as its commander several months after Manfred von

there is no evidence that Goering ever machine-gunned civilians or
committed other atrocities as a World War One fighter pilot.

- SYNC: In the brothel scene, when the hooker places her hand on the
boy's knee and scares him away, we see a drummer and a pianist
playing in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, but we hear a
recorded version of "D.M.S.R" by Prince. They are also visible just
before Joel complains to Lana that some of the girls are wearing his
mother's clothing, and once again we hear recorded music.

# Riverworld (2003) (TV)
- FACT: In order to be resurrected by the aliens, the characters in
the movie would have had to be buried, so that their bodies remained
intact, as was Samuel Clemmens aka Mark Twain. Nero could never have
been resurrected - Nero was cremated in the Roman fashion, as was
the custom in his day.

it is a reference to 'Toby Mcquire' (qv)'s roll in the adapted play.

- FACT: When Ichabod is performing the autopsy on the widow Winship,
he is squirted by blood when he first cuts into her abdomen. This
would be highly unlikely as she has been dead for a couple of days,

(since she was placed on her back in the coffin).

120666c121644
- FAIR: It is our policy to exclude differences between films and
120668,120669c121646,121647
interested to note the following divergences from Homer's account of
the war:
120680a121659,121674
- Achilles was killed by a single arrow shot by Paris, way before
the Greeks built the horse.
- Priam was killed by Neoptolemos, son of Achilles.
- Patrokles was deadly wounded by Euphorbos and Hector then cut his
throat.
- Ajax was not killed by Hector, instead he committed suicide, after
slaughtering a flock of sheep, which in a bout of madness he
mistook for the Greeks that had refused him the armor of the dead
Achilles.
- Paris died of a poisoned arrow shot by Philoket.
- Astyanax, son of Hector, was thrown to his death from the walls of
Troy by the victorious Greeks.
- Andromache, wife of Hector, was taken as a slave by Neoptolemos.
- Aeneas was a son in law to King Priam and the second in command of
the Trojan forces. So Paris asking him his name at the end of the
movie is rather strange.
120688a121683,121724
- GEOG: Near the beginning of the film, a subtitle declares that we
are in "The Port Of Sparta". Sparta was land-locked
- CONT: In the scene where Hector catches Helen trying to leave Troy
and they start talking, Helen's hair can be seen as having a small
pony-tail when we see her from behind, but when we see her from over
Hector's shoulder her hair is clearly all loose. Her hair changes
between shots.
- DATE: In the funeral pyre scenes, characters are seen placing gold
coins on the eyes of the deceased. While this was a common practice
in Greek culture, currency in the form of coins was not invented
until the Lydians began minting coins of a confirmable value
(because of the use of a touchstone - hence the term) circa 600 BC -
700 BC. This is far after the timeline of the battle of Troy.
- DATE: The umbrella used to shelter Paris and Helen during the parade
in Troy is obviously modern, as it includes metal spokes like modern
umbrellas.
- CONT: When the Greek fleet is sailing towards the shore, it is said
that Achilles' sail is black. When his ship is on shore and he leads
the first attack against the Trojans, we get a glimpse of the bottom
of Achilles' ship's sail: there, it is a dirty white.
- FAKE: In the raid of troy, several soldiers can be seen as merely
acting out the stabbing of people.
- SYNC: When the Greek soldiers advance across the beach to Troy
(leather sandals on sand), the audio is that of loud, succinct
marching.
- PLOT: The Trojans build a wooden horse and pull it on several tree
trunks. But where were all the trees they would have needed?
- FAKE: When Paris enters Helen's room after the dinner, he gently
pulls her hair so that it all lies on her back, behind her
shoulders, exposing her neck. When she gets up, it is around/in
front of her shoulders again which could have happened while getting
up but then after a quick shot to Paris, Helen once again has her
all of her hair tucked back behind her shoulders.
121334a122371,122390
- FAKE: Dr. Rochester steps into the "quicksand" and is sucked under.
But before it cuts away from the wide shot, where he first cries out
and drops out of shot, he is visible dropping to the set floor to
simulate getting sucked in. The following close-ups depict him
sinking slowly into the moon surface.
- FAKE: As the crew attempt to pull Anderson from the "quicksand", his
legs, supposedly being sucked straight down, lift a little, and
reveal that he is simply lying down on his back under only a foot of
sand.
- CONT: Stock footage of real shuttle arcing towards Earth depicts an
extremely long 'tail' of engine fire while close-up model shots show
only a small flame (which is crooked, pointing 'up').
- CREW: As Heinrich and Ruskin's shuttle plummets to the Earth, a
stick is visible extending from the left side of the screen to the
model and is obviously being lowered by a stage hand (the stick
actually obscures some of the stars on the backdrop).

123739,123742c124797,124810
- FAIR: At one point, Carl and Van Helsing cremate the body of a human
ally. Even though the Catholic church (which Carl and Van Helsing
serve directly) prohibited cremation until Vatican II in 1963, it
did permit it for special reasons (e.g. to combat the spread of
plague).
- CONT: The syringe is found in a glass sphere filled with acid that
can eat through iron bars, yet the metal parts of the syringe itself
(plunger, needle) appear to be unaffected.
- FACT: Michael, not Gabriel is known to be the left hand of God
because he is the warrior or archangel and Gabriel, still very
important in doing God's bidding, is just the messenger angel, not a
fighter.
123744,123745c124812,124813
- DATE: When Van Helsing and friends are in the river Carl says that
he "called" the Vatican for instructions.

riding in the taxi.
127587a128659,128662

see a crewmember's leg step into the scene from the left hand lower
corner just before the scene ends.

shoulders. In the next shot, her coat is completely back on.
129874a130966,130971
- CONT: In the sudden storm scene, when Guy and Jillian get into his
car to get out of the rain. In the close reverse shot of Guy, water
is clearly leaking heavily into the car through a crack in the door
or window. But in the shot from behind the front seat of both the
characters, there is no leak.
130238,130239c131335,131336
- FAKE: The line of the creature's bald cap is visible frequently
throughout the movie.
