* ''The Evil of Frankenstein'' is actually the Hammer Frankenstein film that depicts Baron Frankenstien (as usual played by Peter Cushing) as somewhat sympathetic. He's more of a WellIntentionedExtremist in an unsupportive world that just thinks that all [[ScienceIsBad Science is the work of the Devil]]. The truly evil character is Zoltan, the hypnotist who tries to use the monster for his own murderous purposes.

** Jedi Knights are really more like warrior monks than they are knights. Unlike traditional knights in the real world, their status is not bestowed by a king or ruler; Jedi are an insular society unto themselves. Nor do they employ titles such as "sir". They also don't own much in the way of personal possessions or property, both of which lords may reward knights for loyalty. Also, knights were very much part of a royal's court, unlike Jedi who were not supposed to be involved in politics. Real knights served the wishes of their lord, lady, or monarch. Jedi do exist to serve, but they serve of their own accord and in whatever way they see fit. They are not really at anyone's beck and call and all VIPs of the Old Republic know that.

All of the main characters are independent vigilantes with no allegiance to any team, and (apart from Rorschach and Nite Owl) none of them ever fought crime together.

* In [[Film/IronMan the film version]] of ''ComicBook/IronMan'', Stark's first seemed to be mostly scrap iron, but his final is more advanced. He lampshades the trope when he first sees the media nickname:

** The FlyingDutchman, which, unlike in the original legend, does not move through the air, and is not Dutch. Its captain is a Welshman with a Scots accent. ''Flying'' in those days, meant ''fast'' as often as it meant ''moving through the air'' (and very occasionally still does, in phrases such as "flying start"). The equivalent today would be "Racing Dutchman."
* In ''MysteryMen''
** The Blue Raja's costume consisted of almost every color ''except'' blue! There's also the issue with his British accent instead of an Indian one. But apparently, that has more to do with people [[ViewersAreGeniuses not knowing the history of India and the British occupation... blah, blah, blah]].
** Then there's also The Spleen, who named himself after a body part that has nothing to do with his [[{{Fartillery}} superpower]]. It may be a play on the saying "Vent your spleen", where you generally let loose with a rather noxious rant. And The Spleen ''does'' vent something quite noxious when he uses his power.
* ''StarWars''.
** The Battle of Endor took place on the ''forest moon'' of Endor (which is a gas giant). The Battle of Yavin is slightly better, but not much--it takes place near Yavin IV, which is actually only a moon of the gas giant Yavin.
** Many weapons use terminology that is not specifically correct. For example, lightsabers aren't shaped like sabers. There are also blaster rifles, which don't have any rifling. Turbolasers do not fire true lasers. Ignoring the inherent pseudoscience of the futuristic weaponry, new weapons often sport names that are based on older technology, such as "howitzer" being based after the Czech word for sling.
** Star Destroyers can neither destroy stars nor qualify as equivalents of naval destroyers, given their sheer size and firepower compared to Rebel ships. They're more akin to battleships or aircraft carriers. ''Super'' Star Destroyers are much larger, but still can't destroy stars.
** The Death Star was not a star. [[ThatsNoMoon It was a space station.]] It also didn't bring death to any stars; it was only capable of destroying planets.
* In the movie ''{{Revolver}}'', none of the guns are revolvers, and nothing rotates. It's, like, a deep metaphor, ya know?

* ''{{Zombi 2}}'' (known in America as ''Zombie'', known in some other places as ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'') is not the second "''Zombi''" film, it's the first in its series. Romero's ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'' was released in Europe under the title Zombi, and Italian director LucioFulci decided to capitalize on its success by claiming that his film was actually a sequel or prequel. Which it wasn't.
* ''Zombie Holocaust'' was released in some places under the title ''Zombi3'', trying to do to Fulci what Fulci did to Romero. In other places, including America, it was released under the title ''Dr. Butcher M.D., Medical Deviate''. There isn't a character named Dr. Butcher in the film, and the evil Doctor character only shows up in the finale of the film. Even the titles ''Zombi3D'' and ''Zombie Holocaust'' are rather inaccurate- the film is predominantly about LIVING cannibals, while zombies only show up for small portions of the tale.
* ''Film/BurialGroundTheNightsOfTerror'' only took place over the course of one night.
* In ''Abbott and Costello Go to Mars'', AbbottAndCostello go ... to Venus.
** Although, they were SUPPOSED to go to Mars. If you've never seen an Abbott and Costello picture, this is an entirely normal sort of event for them (although they normally are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin).
* ''AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein''. Apparently ''Chick Young and Wilbur Gray Meet Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monster'' just wasn't a catchy enough title.
* ''Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory''. The werewolf never actually gets into the dormitory. He mostly just wanders around the grounds.
* ''Krakatoa, East of Java''. Krakatoa is, in fact, West of Java, but they wanted a more exotic-sounding title.
* There are [[SimilarlyNamedWorks three unrelated films]] called ''Madhouse'', only one of which is actually set in a mental institution. The 1990 John Larroquette and Kirstie Alley film is about a house being overrun by uninvited guests that could figuratively be called a "madhouse". In the 1974 VincentPrice film, it's a plot point that Price's character ''was'' once in a mental institution, but no scenes actually take place there. The Vincent Price one was originally going to be called ''The Revenge Of Dr. Death'' or ''The Return of Dr. Death'', both of which would have been more descriptive of the plot, but the producers thought it would be mistaken for a sequel; It didn't help that there had been a recent film called ''Dr. Death, Seeker of Souls'' either.
* Flash Gordon does not, in fact, conquer the universe in the serial ''[[Film/FlashGordonSerial Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe]]''.
* Frankenstein does not conquer the world in ''Film/FrankensteinConquersTheWorld''.
* ''Teenage Zombies'' doesn't feature any zombies, and has a cast of "teenagers" that look to be [[DawsonCasting days away from a midlife crisis]].
* ''The Man With Two Heads'' only has one head. It's an adaptation of ''Literature/DrJekyllAndMrHyde''.
* ''Legend of the Dinosaurs'' doesn't technically feature any dinosaurs, only a plesiosaur and a pterosaur.
* The classic Frank Capra romantic comedy ''ItHappenedOneNight'' takes place over several nights, and no one of them is more significant to the plot than any other.
* ''{{Fargo}}'' has one scene set in Fargo, North Dakota. The rest of it takes place in Minnesota.
* In ''{{Chinatown}}'', only the very last scene takes place in that neighborhood of Los Angeles. However, Gittes does use Chinatown [[WretchedHive as a metaphor]] a few times.
* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', Eddie Valiant initially assumes (logically enough) that Jessica Rabbit, married to the eponymous hero, is in fact a rabbit. [[EyeShock Then he sees her]], and discovers that she certainly isn't. [[FanService Oh no]].
* ''NationalTreasure: Book of Secrets'' actually centers on finding a lost city of gold. The Book of Secrets is only a single road sign on the way to it. To put things in perspective, this is like giving the first movie the subtitle of "Ben Franklin's Letters".
* Bobby Fischer never appears in ''SearchingForBobbyFischer.'' In fact, nobody really searches for him in the film. ''Searching for the Next Bobby Fischer'' would have been a more accurate title.
* ''HauntedHoneymoon'': The characters are not on their honeymoon. They are not even married yet.
* ''The Dead Are Alive'' does not feature any [[TheUndead undead]], despite [[NeverTrustATrailer all the film's advertising]] trying to convince viewers otherwise. The film actually is a proto-{{Giallo}} with characters being offed by a very human killer. In fact, the main character ''specifically dismisses'' the possibility of the dead being alive within the first 15 minutes of the movie.
* ''LarryTheCableGuy: Health Inspector''. Is he a cable guy or a health inspector?
* In ''LoveAndDeath'', Old Nehampkin is younger than Young Nehampkin. WoodyAllen's character {{lampshades}} it while delirious later in the movie.
* ''Frankenstein's Bloody Terror'' is about...werewolves. [[FurAgainstFang Fighting vampires]]. This is actually {{Handwave}}d in the prologue, which explains that the family of werewolves that in the film is actually descended from the Frankenstein family. The reasons behind the title change are more interesting than the actual film. The US distributor promised theaters a Frankenstein picture, but ran out of money midway through production. In desperation, they acquired the rights to an unrelated Spanish picture called ''Mark of the {{Wolfman}}'', added the aforementioned prologue, and released it hoping that [[ViewersAreMorons no one would notice]].
* Guess what ''doesn't'' happen in ''Toga Party''.
* ''Meatcleaver Massacre'' has nary a meat cleaver in sight.
* At no point during ''Help Me, I'm Possessed'' is anyone possessed.
* When AmericanInternationalPictures picked up JessFranco's WitchHunt opus ''The Bloody Judge'' for American distribution, they [[MarketBasedTitle re-titled]] it as ''Night of the Blood Monster'' and printed up [[CoversAlwaysLie posters]] featuring a suitably horrific "Blood Monster" that naturally never appears in the movie itself.
* ''FutureWar''. Take a wild guess as to whether or not it takes place in the future. Now take another wild guess as to whether or not it's about a war.
* There are no mentions of any prophecies in ''Film/{{Prophecy}}''.
* ''BlueMonkey'' was originally titled ''GreenMonkey'', even though there's no monkey of either color in the film.
* In both ''Film/HouseOfTheDead'' movies, the first one has a house that's actually a small shack, while the second has an entire college campus.
* ''ClashOfTheTitans'' does not in fact involve any Titans, clashing or otherwise. Their existence is acknowledged in the backstory, but by the time the plot starts they've all been defeated. Though it [[SadlyMythtaken incorrectly]] refers to [[{{Medusa}} a Gorgon's]] head being used to fight a sea monster as "a titan against another titan."
* In ''Film/HowToTrainYourDragon'', the dragon Toothless ''has'' teeth. Being retractable, they're mostly hidden, and show up when he eats or [[GameFace attacks]]. Hiccup's father Stoick is not TheStoic.
* The doctor in ''TheBloodWatersOfDrZ'' does not have a Z anywhere in his last name.
* There are no zombies in ''ZombieIslandMassacre''.
* At the end of ''TheNightTheWorldExploded'', the Earth remains intact and unexploded.
* There are no dinosaurs (or any other prehistoric beasts, for that matter) in ''MassacreInDinosaurValley''.
* The ''PinkPanther'' movies are not about a feline. The "Pink Panther" is a diamond that plays a major role in some, but not all, of the films. The cartoon panther that originally appeared in the first film's credits, also called The Pink Panther, took on a life of its own as a TV cartoon and advertising mascot.
* ''Film/AssaultOnPrecinct13'' actually takes place in "Precinct 9, Division 13." The title was chosen by the film's distributor, who basically thought "Precinct 13" [[RuleOfCool sounded cool and ominous]].
* ''NakedLunch,'' [[TheSimpsons "I can think of at least two things wrong with that title".]]
* "TheBarbarianInvasions" is not a Conan the Barbarian-ripoff, but a story about French Canadian intellectuals talking about sex, aging and politics. It's predecessor "TheDeclineOfTheAmericanEmpire" is, well, more of the same.
* The Swedish movie "November 30" actually takes place around June 6 the National Day of Sweden. The title comes from the fact that it's theme is Neo-nazism and November 30 is a date when Swedish neo-Nazis often march to commemorate the death of king Charles XII.
* ''Witchfinder General'' was also released as ''The Conqueror Worm'' despite having little to do with the EdgarAllanPoe poem, although a portion of it is recited toward the movie's end. VincentPrice was in it, so presumably it was titled that way to attract fans of all the RogerCorman-directed Poe adaptations he'd starred in.
* Mr. Green in ''Film/{{Clue}}''. All of the other guests have {{Meaningful Name}}s that reflect their appearance or attire, but Mr. Green does not wear green or have green eyes or hair. In some versions of the film, he's under an assumed identity, and therefore a "plant."
* The sequel to ''TheBlairWitchProject'' was called "Book of Shadows", even though there was no such mention of any Book of Shadows in the film.
* ''{{Musa}}'', called ''The Warrior'' in English, is not about one specific warrior. It has an ensemble cast, with three characters that more or less share the main spotlight.
* The Terry Gilliam movie ''Film/{{Brazil}}'' does not have a single scene set in Brazil, nor is the country relevant to the plot in any way or even mentioned once. Its only significance is that an old song titled "Brazil" is played throughout, perhaps because its romantic imagery provides a thematic counterpoint to the bureaucratic police state in which the story takes place.
* In ''{{Airheads}}'', Chazz's rock band has three members and is called The Lone Rangers. Ian the DJ points out that they would more accurately be called The Three Rangers.
* ''FurryVengeance'' has nothing to do with the FurryFandom, and it doesn't even feature [[PettingZooPeople anthropomorphic characters]].
* ''Film/TheRoom'' is not about a room. It does have a great many scenes taking place in Johnny's apartment, but it is not the focus of the film at all. If you take director/writer/star Tommy Wiseau's [[WordOfGod word for it]], it's about Johnny's HappyPlace, but even ''that'' doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
* ''Film/RainMan'' is not about a superhero who can control the weather.
** Rain Man was what Charlie called Raymond when he was a little kid when he misremembered Raymond as an Imaginary friend named Rain Man
* The Hong Kong film ''Hak se wui yi wo wai kwai'' is known as ''Election 2'' in English. It isn't a sequel to the American film ''{{Election}]'' or any other film.
* ''Film/BatmanForever'' has the Nygma Tech Box. It looks like a blender with fins, and it's not boxlike at all.
* In [[Film/IronMan the film version]] of ''ComicBook/IronMan'', Stark's first seemed to be mostly scrap iron, but his final is more advanced. He lampshades the trope when he first sees the media nickname:
-->'''Tony Stark:''' Iron Man? That's kinda catchy. Not technically accurate, since it's a gold-titanium alloy, but...
* The weapon in ''{{Krull}}'' is identified as "The Glaive". It isn't a [[BladeOnAStick curved-blade polearm]], but rather a starfish-shaped switchblade. Even if you take the older meaning of "glaive" as "sword" it doesn't fit. Due to the film's popularity, a number of other works have named similar weapons "glaives," such as ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' and ''BladeTheSeries''.
* ''ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'' features the Incredibly Deadly Viper--[[DeathbringerTheAdorable not so incredibly deadly]]. Justified because it was intentional by Uncle Monty in order to scare the rest of his colleagues as revenge for all their mocking of his name.
* In ''Film/DrDolittle'', Rodney the guinea pig ponders how he came to that name, since he's not a pig, not from Africa, and not an Italian "guinea".
* ''{{Troll 2}}'' is about goblins, not trolls, and is not a sequel to ''{{Troll}}''.
** There are ''two'' different films that go by the title ''Troll 3''; neither of them are about trolls and neither of them are sequels to either ''Troll'' or ''Troll 2''.
* The word "[[{{Godzilla}} Gojira]]" is a portmanteau of "kujira" (whale) and gorilla. Early on in the production, they hadn't decided what the monster was going to look like, and the pretty cool name for one scrapped design was eventually combined with a different, really cool design...of a lizard.
* Toho's ''LatitudeZero'' features a monster named Black Moth. Take a wild guess what the monster is. Go on... Give up? It's [[spoiler:a flying lion/eagle hybrid.]]
* In ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean: At World's End''
** The Nine Pieces of Eight are not coins, but random pieces of junk. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in-universe: they used random piece of junk because the founding pirates were flat broke, and called them "Pieces of Eight" because they thought it sounded more pirate-y than "Pieces of Whatever We Happened to Have in our Pockets At The Time."
** The FlyingDutchman, which, unlike in the original legend, does not move through the air, and is not Dutch. Its captain is a Welshman with a Scots accent. ''Flying'' in those days, meant ''fast'' as often as it meant ''moving through the air'' (and very occasionally still does, in phrases such as "flying start"). The equivalent today would be "Racing Dutchman."
* In ''MysteryMen''
** The Blue Raja's costume consisted of almost every color ''except'' blue! There's also the issue with his British accent instead of an Indian one. But apparently, that has more to do with people [[ViewersAreGeniuses not knowing the history of India and the British occupation... blah, blah, blah]].
** Then there's also The Spleen, who named himself after a body part that has nothing to do with his [[{{Fartillery}} superpower]]. It may be a play on the saying "Vent your spleen", where you generally let loose with a rather noxious rant. And The Spleen ''does'' vent something quite noxious when he uses his power.
* ''StarWars''.
** The Battle of Endor took place on the ''forest moon'' of Endor (which is a gas giant). The Battle of Yavin is slightly better, but not much--it takes place near Yavin IV, which is actually only a moon of the gas giant Yavin.
** Many weapons use terminology that is not specifically correct. For example, lightsabers aren't shaped like sabers. There are also blaster rifles, which don't have any rifling. Turbolasers do not fire true lasers. Ignoring the inherent pseudoscience of the futuristic weaponry, new weapons often sport names that are based on older technology, such as "howitzer" being based after the Czech word for sling.
** Star Destroyers can neither destroy stars nor qualify as equivalents of naval destroyers, given their sheer size and firepower compared to Rebel ships. They're more akin to battleships or aircraft carriers. ''Super'' Star Destroyers are much larger, but still can't destroy stars.
** The Death Star was not a star. [[ThatsNoMoon It was a space station.]] It also didn't bring death to any stars; it was only capable of destroying planets.
* In the movie ''{{Revolver}}'', none of the guns are revolvers, and nothing rotates. It's, like, a deep metaphor, ya know?
* In the second ''KillBill'' movie, Bill comments that there weren't 88 members of the Crazy 88; they just called themselves that "[[RuleOfCool because it sounded cool]]."
** Volume 1 became non-indicative when the film was split into two parts, because she doesn't kill Bill until Volume 2.
* This exchange in ''TrueLies'':
-->'''Faisil:''' They call him the "Sand Spider".
-->'''Trilby:''' Why?
-->'''Faisil:''' Probably because it sounds scary.
* ''{{Zombi 2}}'' (known in America as ''Zombie'', known in some other places as ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'') is not the second "''Zombi''" film, it's the first in its series. Romero's ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'' was released in Europe under the title Zombi, and Italian director LucioFulci decided to capitalize on its success by claiming that his film was actually a sequel or prequel. Which it wasn't.
* ''Zombie Holocaust'' was released in some places under the title ''Zombi3'', trying to do to Fulci what Fulci did to Romero. In other places, including America, it was released under the title ''Dr. Butcher M.D., Medical Deviate''. There isn't a character named Dr. Butcher in the film, and the evil Doctor character only shows up in the finale of the film. Even the titles ''Zombi3D'' and ''Zombie Holocaust'' are rather inaccurate- the film is predominantly about LIVING cannibals, while zombies only show up for small portions of the tale.
* ''Film/BurialGroundTheNightsOfTerror'' only took place over the course of one night.
* In ''Abbott and Costello Go to Mars'', AbbottAndCostello go ... to Venus.
** Although, they were SUPPOSED to go to Mars. If you've never seen an Abbott and Costello picture, this is an entirely normal sort of event for them (although they normally are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin).
* ''AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein''. Apparently ''Chick Young and Wilbur Gray Meet Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monster'' just wasn't a catchy enough title.
