*** He apparently failed to understand how Agents and their BodySurf abilities work, making him come up with ridiculous claim that after being run over by a train, Smith punched through its floor like in a cartoon (in reality, he simply left the body of a homeless man he's been possessing and overtook one of the train's passengers instead) and acting bewildered in "how many are there?" manner when Neo is being chased by Agents in the finale (there are whole ''three'' of them -- and they've been merely skipping from body to body, trying to stay close to the main hero).
*** He sums up his review of the first movie by pointing out the supposed, grand plot hole that makes the entire setting nonsensical -- namely, why the Machines even bothered to create the eponymous virtual reality when they could've simply kept humans in vegetative state. However, that would not work for very obvious reason -- the Machines' power plant is clearly stated to be drawing energy from ''activity'' of human's brain and nervous system; therefore, keeping those people vegetative would defeat the whole purpose of producing power that way.

At the same time, the ''real'' reasons why this doesn't make sense (like gross violation of the law of conservation of energy) are never ever touched upon by Doug.

** ''Film/CarryOnJack'': The book ''50 Years of Carry On'' incorrectly states this was Creator/PercyHerbert's only ''Film/CarryOn''; He would later return in ''Film/CarryOnCleo'' as a guard and ''Film/CarryOnCowboy'' as Charlie.

* ''Film/{{Moloch}}'': Several journalists confused the [[UsefulNotes/TheSixteenLandsOfDeutschland Bavarian]] ''Kehlsteinhaus'' aka ''Eagle's Nest'' (a mountaintop cottage for [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazi party]] government and social meetings, not just for UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and Eva Braun, Hitler himself went 14 documented times there) with the ''Berghof'' (Hitler's own residence down the mountain in Berchtesgaden, where he obviously resided a lot more). The film takes place at the ''Kehlsteinhaus'', not at the ''Berghof''.

* The Sunday People's review of ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' criticized the fact the titular anti-hero had cancer, saying it was only added to the plot to make Wade Wilson sympathetic. It's actually lifted straight from the source [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} Marvel comic books]], and is part of his origin story.
** And of course, the countless amounts of people that claim the film is the first R-rated comic book movie despite the dozens upon dozens released in the past, with the honor of being the first (or at least first major release) being ''Film/TheCrow1994''.

* A November 2009 issue of the Seattle Times had a picture of Simon from ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' labeled as Theodore in the picture for an article promoting the new December movies. This must have been especially annoying for the article writer, who was apparently a fan of the movies; pictures and captions thereof are usually not the domain of the journalists in newspapers, so the mistake was not the author's fault.

This variant of the myth is more common.


** Their 2005 CD "Songs from Around the World" includes a rendition of "Edelweiss" from ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'', listed as a song originating from Austria. It seems like whoever compiled the CD fell for the "[[CommonKnowledge Edelweiss is the Austrian national anthem]]" myth and took it at face value.

** In a brief review of ''Series/{{Euphoria}}'', the ''Daily Mail'' referred to Creator/{{Zendaya}} has "[playing] Mary Jane in the recent [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming Spider-Man]] [[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome films]]". They obviously heard "MJ" and assumed they were referring to Mary Jane and not a new character called Michelle Jones, who happened to use MJ as a nickname.
