** Wood apparently believes that the live-action [[Film/StreetFighter Street Fighter movie]] is canon to the series, as during the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 2'' review he complains that Dhalsim looks nothing like he did in the movie, and claims that Charlie is Blanka in the past.
** In his review of ''Lion King'', after the FinalBoss, he states that he can't tell if it's raining or snowing in the Pridelands, even though it was very clearly rain in the film and it never snows in Africa.
** In his review of ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'', he calls the first boss "a gigantic stegosaurus," when, in fact, anyone can tell that Tricky is a triceratops. He also says you have to "topple" the boss, as if to imply that you're fighting him, when you actually have to defeat Tricky in a race.

** Within ''Flights of Fantasy'' itself, the crew admitted they were embarrassed about stating that the UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy would win the new console war of 1995. On a ClipShow episode where they had a segment of mistakes/bloopers, they played the footage of them stating this with text saying "We want to die now" superimposed over it.

* CreatorBacklash: It's possible George or [=NAVIGTR=] feel this way about the ''VideoGame/TombRaiderII'' review, given it's no longer on their [=YouTube=] channel; the review has him infamously challenging the game developers to give Lara Croft breast cancer.

** ''Both'' the show and [=NAVGTR=] might feel this way about the [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness early comic book episodes.]] Not only did ''Flights of Fantasy'' mock old clips from that era later in the series' run, but [=NAVGTR=] didn't even reupload any of them, being almost entirely lost until other fans uploaded old recordings they still had.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: With the demise of Silicon Graphics Inc. in the late 90s, the infamous rant about how the ''Toy Story'' game's graphics were made is now this. You'd be forgiven if you had to look up what a Silicon Graphics computer even was after watching it, not so much because it's brought up at all, but because he focused so heavily on it and mentions it by name so much.
