Bullet Train (2022)

Factual error: The criminals are carrying ten million dollars on the bullet train. They have placed the case in a luggage rack from where it is taken. The case is about the size of a normal aluminium attaché case. The largest denomination US bill in circulation is the $100 bill. It weighs approximately one gram. Ten million dollars would be 100,000 grams, or just over 220 pounds of $100 bills. Way too much to even fit in the case, and much less weigh as little as the actors make it to be, moving it around the way they do. Gold would be even heavier.

Bullet Train (2022)

Factual error: During a fight, a person is thrown against a glass partition window and the glass shatters. Trains use toughened safety glass in their construction and would not shatter like that.

Factual error: Malik's son calls his father's parole officer. When she asks where they are he says they had entered Nevada. A while later, they stop at a pharmacy. It is called Las Lunas Pharmacy and Liquor. Las Lunas is in New Mexico, 85 miles away from the Nevada border.

Magnum P.I. (2018)

Better Watch Out - S4-E9

Other mistake: A man kidnaps an IT tech and steals his uniform. The IT guy is quite large - at least a XXXL if not more. When the impostor IT guy walks into HPD Headquarters, he has a very well fitting IT uniform shirt. And he is of average build -maybe a medium size. There is no way he could be wearing the real IT guy's shirt without it looking like a tent.

4400 (2021)

Great Expectations - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: One of the 4400 now has an apartment and shows off her new darkroom to a friend. It has a sliding door at the entrance. In a later scene she is in the darkroom and her friend enters. But this time the door is a regular one that swings. In truth, neither of these are typical of a darkroom, as darkrooms have a light lock entry. Either double doors or a U-turn entry to prevent light from getting in.

Red Notice (2021)

Factual error: Dwayne Johnson is pursuing a thief. He gets into a Porsche Taycan and pushed the start button, and he can drive off. But you have to have the key fob in your pocket or bag. Porsche explains: "As long as your key is close when you grab the door handle, the system automatically checks the encrypted access code on the key. Once your code is validated, the door will unlock, and you'll be granted access to your vehicle." Dwayne had no fob, as the car was just parked.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: I assumed the car belonged to the guy who was stood just in front of it, so the fob would have been in his pocket, close enough to start it.

Maybe start it, but since he drove away, the fob would no longer be in his possession and although the car would continue running one time, it could not be restarted.

Maybe the owner was so stupid to leave the keys in the car. "Who can steal it, here in front of me?"

Tough As Nails (2020)

Facing Fear - S3-E4

Factual error: The teams are at a US Coast Guard base. Two coasties are introduced. One as a chief (correct) and one as a "Captain." He is not a Captain, he is a Lieutenant. The USCG uses naval ranks, so the person with the two bars is a Lieutenant. A Captain is three pay grades above this, and uses eagles as insignia.

Other mistake: Mark is driving down the road in an old pickup truck. An inside shot shows the truck is bouncing and the scenery is passing by the left side of the truck.

Jungle Cruise (2021)

Revealing mistake: Frank and Lily are swinging from a vine. As they reach the end of the swing, Frank manages to put one boot heel on the landing, but cannot get his footing to stay there. He lifts his foot repeatedly trying to get a better purchase. Except that as he is barely hanging on, lifting his boot even once would propel him backwards, much less lifting his foot several times without a back swing. He finally loses his purchase on the landing, but not because of the repeated attempts to lift his foot off. (01:09:40)

Jaws 2 (1978)

Factual error: Several times Chief Brody was seen to both transmit and hear the boat radio without him taking his finger off the mic button. If the button is pressed you can transmit, but not receive.

Great White (1998)

Factual error: All survival rafts - especially just taken out of its container - would have a tarpaulin or cover to ward against sun, rain, and especially to collect rain water. This raft has upright beams for just that purpose. So where is the cover?

Stowaway (2021)

Stupidity: Two things: 1. I find it inconceivable that there is only one Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDMA) and no spares for a two-year mission. 2. The crew has 20 days to fix an oxygen problem. The commander decides on a 10-day window. 5 days into that window they try to load oxygen from the Kingfisher spacecraft. One is lost into space. Zoe decides to go and fill the other one in the midst of a solar storm that will only last hours. Why take that chance? A few hours wait is still quite possible.

Manifest (2018)

Compass Calibration - S3-E10

Factual error: Escorting Saanvi and her colleague to see Dr. Cooper, NSA Agent Tim Powell flashes a gold badge and shouts "NSA" to the officers. NSA agents carry ID Badges, but not gold shields. Further, they would never identify themselves as NSA personnel to outsiders.
