Panic Room (2002)
1 character mistake
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Forest Whitaker, Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam
Factual error: After the intruders flood the panic room with propane, Jody Foster's character gets a lighter and ignites the propane causing it to burn along the ceiling. This would be impossible as propane is heavier than air and would sink to the floor rather than rise up to the ceiling. Lighting a flame in that room should have caused anyone in the room and on the floor to be engulfed in flames almost instantly.
