* ''Film/{{Pompeii}}'':
** Corvus seems to have been first a general and later a senator in Rome, when in real life you had to be a senator in order to be serve in any significantly high rank in the army (even cavalry was often composed by senators).
** Corvus wears a TwentyFourHourArmor, even while relaxing or in the gladiator games, which would have been considered an uncivilized custom in Rome. Severus also sports a stubble, another uncouth trait for a Roman citizen at the time (facial hair only became fashionable for them almost a century later when Emperor UsefulNotes/{{Hadrian}} re-introduced beards).
** Historical gladiators were essentially the rock stars of their day; they were usually slaves, yes, but they weren't usually mistreated or put to fight to death unless they turned out absolutely awful at their thing. Also, rather than being slim and muscular, they were ''fat'' and muscular, so they could take more cuts, bleed more, put on a better show and generally last longer.
** For some undiscernible reason, the gladiator games have a Greek chorus as if they were a theatre play, with its performers spouting generic villainous imperial stuff rather than describing the action. They also feature gladiators facing waves of actual Roman soldiers, something that would have never been done in real life.
** All the gladiators are able to communicate with each other despite of being of vastly diverse origins and not sharing a common language (the notion of all the slaves speaking fluent Latin would be extremely unlikely).
** Purple is worn by almost everybody in this film, from Roman citizens to soldiers, but this is historically inaccurate. Purple was reserved only for the Imperial Roman family, while Roman soldiers would have worn a red or white tunic.
** The soldiers' weapons and armors all over the place too, with shields and helmets from multiple periods of the empire (some of them from centuries later). Their armor is also blackened, when in real life Roman soldiers never wore black.
** Pompeians are treated as non-Romans, which doesn't make sense. In fact, Pompeii by historical accounts was something of a Roman resort town. It also makes it very unlikely any who lived there harbored animosity towards Rome.
** Roman soldiers would not be stationed in or outside of Pompeii, they would have been stationed across the bay in the town or Misenum where the Navy Base was located.
** Londinium was not the capital of Roman Britain in AD 79, even although it may have become so later; Camulodunum (modern Colchester) would have been the capital at the time.
** Emperor Titus is mentioned as corrupt, while Corvus claims he'd have Cassia's parents killed simply for questioning the effectiveness of his rule. The real Titus was actually known for his mercy (ending the widespread treason trials which plagued previous Emperors' reigns), even specifically saying defaming him was no longer a crime as it couldn't harm him. Far from being corrupt, he was known for being virtuous, enacting popular reforms and various public works. It's true however that this might be partly false rumors or empty threats Corvus used to {{blackmail}} Cassia's father into giving her hand to him, as Titus has only just ascended the throne (there was indeed skepticism about him at first, though not for the reasons in the film).

** Ironically, for a movie about the author of ''Literature/MaryPoppins'' trying to avoid {{Disneyfication}} of her work, the true story is heavily Disneyified. While the ending has Travers moved to tears during the screening of the final film, despite her fights with Walt Disney over the production, in reality she was actually weeping in horror at what she considered an absolute ''travesty'' that she loathed so much she put it in her will there could never be any more American adaptations of her works. The film shows Disney, at least temporarily, winning Travers over with an early rendition of "Let's Go Fly A Kite", but in reality that was one of the parts she hated most about the movie. For what it's worth, she did ''eventually'' come around to it many years later, still hating it as an adaptation, but enjoying it as its own thing.

Corrected placement of I, Tonya. Also, the change in Winter Olympic scheduling was made and announced in 1986.
* ''Film/ITonya'':
** The real Tonya did confront the judges about her scoring only to be told her outfits needed improvement, but it happened off the ice rather than on it. She also insists that she didn't swear nearly as much as the film's Tonya did.
** The real Shawn didn't call in the death threat on Tonya, nor did he wear a wire to a meeting with Jeff (though he was on the receiving end of a wire-tapped meeting, which he sniffed out quickly).
** Tonya never fired her coach Diane Rawlinson in a fit of rage; it was a mutual split that resulted from Tonya losing focus on her training. Dody Teachman was actually Rawlinson's first student and assistant whom she delegated to become Tonya's new coach.
** At one point, Diane approaches a forlorn Tonya and informs her the next Winter Olympics will be held in 1994 instead of 1996. In reality, the change in the scheduling of the Olympics had been decided and made public in 1986. Everyone who participated in the 1992 Albertville games knew full well there would be another one in Lillehammer just two years later.
** Though Tonya was told to get [[PrettyInMink a fur coat]] to help fit the "Ice Princess" image, her father didn't make one from rabbits he hunted. He just saved up to buy her a rabbit fur coat. And instead of Tonya getting mocked for her coat, and flipping off the girls who did it, she had a DeadpanSnarker moment with a girl who bragged that her coat was mink, Tonya said "Thanks, mine's paid for."

* 1978's ''The Norseman'' mangles history on a level few others could touch. Even ignoring the HornyVikings outfits and Creator/LeeMajors as a Leif Erikson {{expy}} with a Kentucky drawl, the film's depiction of the failed settlement of Vinland is way, way off. Given that the one confirmed Viking site in North America is in Newfoundland, the Florida location for the film seems way too sunny and tropical. Also, the film's promo material says the Vikings fought against "the savage warriors of the Iroquois Nation." The actual Skraelings were ancestors of the modern Inuit people. Also, there's no such thing as "the Iroquois Nation"; the Iroquois is a confederacy of several different nations, located in modern-day New York state, that formed long after the Vikings left Vinland. And those are just scratching the surface of the film.
