Factual error: The jacket blurb and plot synopsis for "Anthropoid" are historically and factually incorrect in stating that Heydrich was "third in command" of Nazi Germany. He was not; there was a chain of Nazi hierarchy above him and any historian of Nazi Germany will verify that. Unfortunately, Rotten Tomatoes perpetuates this inaccuracy by using the same jacket blurb in its own plot summary of the movie.
Factual error: When Chiron is speaking with the social worker after being assaulted by Kevin, the social worker urges Chiron to press charges. It is the government who decides to press charges, based on evidence gathered by the police, including witness and victim statements. Crime victims do not decide whether or not to press charges. (01:02:20)
Suggested correction: It should be noted the term "press charges" in this case is meant to denote that a victim of a crime reports the crime to the police (as in file a charge against a person to the police), not the legal sense of pressing charges in court. Plus, victims of crimes can pursue a civil case against a criminal.
Factual error: The movie puts a caption in the prologue "January 2013." Later the protagonist puts the hammer he received by the mysterious delivery right on top of a newspaper, a copy of "Mid-Day" with a retouched opening article (related to the movie murder of course) but headline news with a Sunil Gavaskar quote that dates it as a December 2015 edition. (00:03:20 - 00:10:10)
Factual error: When Anita Hill is in her hotel room waiting to testify she is watching the Texas v. OU football game. In the movie the date for that scene is Friday, October 11, 1991. The Texas v. OU football game was played on Saturday, October 12, 1991.
Factual error: In the Templehoff Airport flyover scene there are Soviet era Antonov An-12 propeller driven aircraft on the tarmac. These were first used by the Soviets in 1953.
Factual error: When Joe and his girlfriend, who is also Albert White's mistress, walk through the hotel room kitchen, that whole kitchen, is not a 30's era kitchen. It even has a convection oven and a blast chiller, pan racks, etc. that are more from this time.
Factual error: The email Vee gets at the start is dated 2017, and calls for her to become part of the class of 2020. If she went to CalArts in September of 2017, she would be part of the class of 2021. (00:01:05)
Factual error: Tommy states that Jimson Weed is a paralytic, but it is not known to have this property. It is however a powerful hallucinogen and deliriant.
Factual error: The girls are looking through a rather wide gap between the door and the door-sill. If a gap were that wide the door lock would not be very secure, and just a little force would open it. (00:19:25)
Factual error: A bullhorn can be heard in the background off-screen during a battle with the zombies, even though the movie takes place during Victorian times. (01:19:30)
Factual error: The 5th Amendment to the Constitution simply states that "No person... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." There is no actual or implied provision that means once you have answered a question, you can't plead the 5th on any subsequent questions, as the movie depicts.
Factual error: Curiously enough, Michelle's mess in the bathroom with the self-tanning spray seems to be mostly made by footprints everywhere (but you don't tan your palms and soles, and the bottom of the foot is what she is using to lean on the wall anyway) while the spray she continues to apply does not color the tiles and towel in the slightest and nothing drips from the smooth surfaces.
Factual error: Viggo is "playing" the bagpipes on the wrong side. They should be under his left arm, not his right. He is also not blowing hard enough to make the required sound. They sound good, though.
Factual error: For the third movie in a row -at least they are consistent - Maggie introduces herself as Detective of the SFPD, but detectives are not referred as such, but as Inspectors.
Factual error: There would be no room for a thumb drive inside of a real Rubik's Cube due to the way they are constructed. When dismantled, the individual moving parts are quite small. It would certainly be possible to construct a facsimile of a Rubik's Cube that would have enough room, but it wouldn't be a fully functional puzzle the way it was in the film.
Factual error: In the montage showing James busking after committing to the program, he picks up his guitar when it gets dark and tries to find shelter. On the side of a London bus, you can spot the ad for "The Hunger Games; Mockingjay - Part 2", a movie that came out in 2015. The happy ending of this movie takes place in 2012. (00:09:55)
Factual error: In the scene when they are locked in the garage, they attempt to use vehicle air bags to propel themselves through a garage vent in the roof. It is absolutely impossible for a air bag to deploy by jumping on it. A air bag requires specific battery voltage and resistance supplied by a air bag control module to deploy a air bag. The physical act of jumping on it will not deploy it.
