Factual errors

Character error
When Towmater is Knighted, he would not be referred to as "Sir" either by the Queen or on the billboard. Only a citizen of the Commonwealth may use this title. Citizens of other nations may never be called "Sir" when receiving an honorary Knighthood.Share this
Continuity
When Mater, Finn, and Holley are tied down on Big Bentley's gears, ready to be crushed when the gears run into each other. It is established that the gears rotate for every minute that passes on the clock. When the clock reaches the time of 3:02 they are all two minutes away from being crushed. The scene cuts away and when it returns, the clock face clearly shows a time of 3:05, but the gears have not moved inside.Share this
Continuity
