More things that weren't glitches, just unrealistic and kind of dumb:

"Broken Arrow" Travolta and somebody (Christian Slater) have a fistfight inside the cockpit of a plane like a B-2 bomber. The cockpit is like a room about 3 m long and 2 meters wide. Nothing like the cockpits of real combat aircraft, which are cramped because about every available centimeter in the structure is crammed with some essential thing.

"Gladiator" In the initial battle scene, the Romans shoot the enemy warriors with a catapults or ballistae. Awfully accurate field-constructed piece of wood they had there. And it was awfully nice of those barbarians to approach them directly from the front, and clump together right in their little range.

And then there is the "Unleash Hell" - The concept of "Hell" would not be solidified for a few more hundred years in the earliest Christian writings (Movie is 180 AD).

Yeah. And most folks are like me and would not know the difference anyway Lol

They are indeed hard to spot (easiest is people drinking at a bar or at poolside, and the drink levels are all over the map). I'm most embarrassed it took me almost 20 years to catch the obvious Wyoming plate in CE.


ed: My dad was always pointing out erroneous military insignia. To a point of being irritating, in fact. That's the kind of thing where I had to just take his word for it.

Your dad and I should watch war movies and grumble together. Smile I hate it when movies set pre-WWII have all the soldiers in identical flashy parade uniforms. Not their field uniforms, and no bedrolls, no peasant shoes replacing the boots they wore out, no pots or looted wine bottles hanging from packs. And all brand-new and spotlessly clean, like everybody just came out of a department store, instead of from marching 20 miles on dirt roads and 6 months of sleeping in the mud.

I do not remember the movie but one scene an iron is standing straight up in the background. The camera moves away and back again. Mind you no one was depicted as touching that iron in that time frame, and when the camera came back around it was laying flat on the ironing table....or it was the other way around I can not recall with 100% certainty.

"Girl, Interrupted" Some of the girls leave the hospital in order to get jobs working at Walt Disney World. Movie is set in 1967.

Walt Disney World in Florida did not open until 1971.


Remake of "Clash of the Titans", and the white headed American bald eagle around Liam Neeson......they are native strictly to America, not the Mediterranian. Those would be golden eagles.


"In & Out" Kevin Kline is outed at the Oscars....then attends a high scool graduation the next day. Since when are high school graduations in Feb/March ????


"Titanic" - when Leo visits Kate to paint her in her salon, one can clearly see the Picasso painting "La Demoiselle d' Avignon" in the background. Sorry Cameron, but that painting is quite well, and hanging in the MoMA to this day.


"Never Been Kissed" - 3.141592653589793
