* \\\'\\\'Film/TheWizard\\\'\\\', a MerchandiseDriven film intended for {{NES}}-savvy kids, [[PacManFever doesn\\\'t seem to know anything about the games]]. Most egregiously, they show a character who\\\'s supposed to be on level three who\\\'s clearly on level one, a mistake that none other than \\\'\\\'[[Creator/RogerEbert Roger \\\"Video games can\\\'t be art\\\" Ebert]]\\\'\\\' noticed.
Requires knowledge of specific VideoGames.
* In the second \\\'\\\'Film/DieHard\\\'\\\' movie, the villains shut down air traffic control at Washington Dulles International Airport so as to prevent interference with his plot. As a result, planes don\\\'t receive landing instructions and have to circle the airport, as their fuel runs out. There\\\'s just one problem: FAA regulations state that all airline flights must carry enough fuel to divert to another major airport close by in case of an emergency like the one depicted in the film. There are two major airports in the DC Metro Area, Dulles and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and three if you count Baltimore-Washington International Airport, which, as the name implies, is about halfway between the two cities. Joint Base Andrews (formerly Andrews Air Force Base) could certainly handle a number of emergency landings in a pinch. In short, the suspense of the movie \\\'\\\'\\\'never should have happened\\\'\\\'\\\'. They attempt to HandWave it away in the movie by saying that the storm shut the other airports down, but other major airports like Philadelphia, Richmond, Newark, etc., aren\\\'t all \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' far away, and the planes would have been rerouted long before they reached bingo fuel. So that\\\'s two [=CRFs=] for the price of one.

* \\\'\\\'Roman Dusk\\\'\\\' uses the wrong word for Roman underfloor heating. Usually something like this would be a trivial and excusable error - but instead of hypocaust, it\\\'s referred to as \\\'\\\'holocaust\\\'\\\'. And compounding the UnfortunateImplications, due to the nature of a hypocaust, it\\\'s often mentioned in sentences like \\\"...was at full burn\\\".

* In the recent season of the American \\\'\\\'BigBrother\\\'\\\', Julie Chen says that that\\\'s probably the first time Jordan won Head of Household. Actually; she won Head of Household \\\'\\\'twice\\\'\\\' the previous time she was on. Even if you don\\\'t count the first time (Which Jeff threw for her), she still won the final one by herself.

* The various armor types in DungeonsAndDragons. There has historically been exactly one type of armour made from interlocking rings, and its name is \\\'\\\'\\\'mail\\\'\\\'\\\'. Not chainmail, not ringmail, not splint mail, not banded, mascled or augmented mail but mail. Likewise, the correct term for \\\"plate mail\\\" is plate armor and that of \\\"scale mail\\\" is scale armor. The D&D armor types have, nevertheless, become CommonKnowledge, as many more people have played D&D or its various derivatives than have a cursory knowledge of real-world armor.

* In the recent season of the American \\\'\\\'BigBrother\\\'\\\', Julie Chen says that that\\\'s probably the first time Jordan won Head of Household. Actually; she won Head of Household \\\'\\\'twice\\\'\\\' the previous time she was on. Even if you don\\\'t count the first time (Which Jeff threw for her), she still won the final one by herself. Normally this wouldn\\\'t qualify, but it\\\'s \\\'\\\'their own show\\\'\\\'.

* Reviews On The Run\\\'s 2010 Blu-Ray award special gave the best voice actor to KevinConroy for his performance in \\\'\\\'BatmanUnderTheRedHood\\\'\\\'. While Conroy voiced Batman in the {{DCAU}} and for some other projects, he wasn\\\'t in \\\'\\\'Under The Red Hood\\\'\\\'. That was Bruce Greenwood.

* The various armor types in DungeonsAndDragons. There has historically been exactly one type of armour made from interlocking rings, and its name is \\\'\\\'\\\'mail\\\'\\\'\\\'. Not chainmail, not ringmail, not splint mail, not banded, mascled or augmented mail but mail. Likewise, the correct term for \\\"plate mail\\\" is plate armor and that of \\\"scale mail\\\" is scale armor. The D&D armor types have, nevertheless, become CommonKnowledge, as many more people have played D&D or its various derivatives than have a cursory knowledge of real-world armor.

* \\\'\\\'Film/TheWizard\\\'\\\', a MerchandiseDriven film intended for {{NES}}-savvy kids, [[PacManFever doesn\\\'t seem to know anything about the games]]. Most egregiously, they show a character who\\\'s supposed to be on level three who\\\'s clearly on level one, a mistake that none other than \\\'\\\'[[Creator/RogerEbert Roger \\\"Video games can\\\'t be art\\\" Ebert]]\\\'\\\' noticed.

* In the second \\\'\\\'Film/DieHard\\\'\\\' movie, the villains shut down air traffic control at Washington Dulles International Airport so as to prevent interference with his plot. As a result, planes don\\\'t receive landing instructions and have to circle the airport, as their fuel runs out. There\\\'s just one problem: FAA regulations state that all airline flights must carry enough fuel to divert to another major airport close by in case of an emergency like the one depicted in the film. There are two major airports in the DC Metro Area, Dulles and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and three if you count Baltimore-Washington International Airport, which, as the name implies, is about halfway between the two cities. Joint Base Andrews (formerly Andrews Air Force Base) could certainly handle a number of emergency landings in a pinch. In short, the suspense of the movie \\\'\\\'\\\'never should have happened\\\'\\\'\\\'. They attempt to HandWave it away in the movie by saying that the storm shut the other airports down, but other major airports like Philadelphia, Richmond, Newark, etc., aren\\\'t all \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' far away, and the planes would have been rerouted long before they reached bingo fuel. So that\\\'s two [=CRFs=] for the price of one.

* \\\'\\\'Roman Dusk\\\'\\\' uses the wrong word for Roman underfloor heating. Usually something like this would be a trivial and excusable error - but instead of hypocaust, it\\\'s referred to as \\\'\\\'holocaust\\\'\\\'. And compounding the UnfortunateImplications, due to the nature of a hypocaust, it\\\'s often mentioned in sentences like \\\"...was at full burn\\\". And it\\\'s not just a typo - it\\\'s used throughout.
