Jon Hamm, Madhur Mittal, and Suraj Sharma in Million Dollar Arm (2014)

Goofs

Million Dollar Arm

Edit

Factual errors

When JB introduces the Indians to pizza, the pizza is definitely from Papa John's, as evidenced by the pizza delivery guy's uniform and the pizza boxes. However, when Rinku is grabbing the last slice of pizza from the box, he is grabbing a slice of New York-style (thin-crust) pizza. Papa John's only serves thick-crust pizza, not thin-crust.

Anachronisms

The movie is based in 2008, but Windows 7 and an updated (Microsoft-owned) version of Skype are used.
When the pizza delivery guy arrives on J.B.'s doorstep with the pizzas, he is carrying them in the newer green, white and red Papa John's boxes which show John Schnatter with numerous pizza ingredients (2010-2017), but the film is set in 2008, and that year, the Papa John's pizza boxes were brown with green bordering, and in red, showed individual pictures of the ingredients.
The Lakers game at Staples Center is a game from the 2013-14 NBA season. Nick Young and Xavier Henry weren't on the Lakers in 2008.
The Bandra-Worli Sea Link bridge is shown in Mumbai. It did not open until 2009 and construction wasn't completed until 2010.
The "Star Trek" T-shirt Brenda wears wasn't yet available in 2008.

Plot holes

The idea that cricket players cannot throw like a baseball player is absurd. Although the ball is bowled in cricket with a straight arm, once the ball is in play it is returned by the fielders with a very similar throw to that used in baseball. All cricket players know how to throw well.

Character error

JB says that India has a population of 1.8 billion, when in fact it's a much lower 1.2 billion.
