Have you ever seen that 80s film called "The Never Ending Story"?

What a jip - only lasted 90 minutes. Felt like asking for my money back.

And that film called "Swingers" - spoiler alert - NOT about swinging!

The Equalizer: There were no mathematical equations present whatsoever!

Not even so much as a sniff of algebra in fact!

I was suitably appalled by such blatant misinformation and subsequently walked out the cinema in abject disgust!

Debbie Does Dallas: By my mathematical calculations, the eponymous protagonist in this film (which lacked anything resembling a coherent plot by the way) ‘DID’ not even 0.00000001 percent of the population of Dallas.

Talk about false advertising!

Groundhog Day nor 12 Monkeys were the wildlife films they promised.

Eraserhead also disappointed, as the guy had no such writing correctional measure on his bonce.

And Blade Runner was a total fraud, with nobody moving quickly atop knives.

"The Great Escape" - Steve McQueen was arrested outside the set of the film in a German town for excessive speeding. Other people were got but his was the highest speed!

He was arrested & briefly jailed. He didn't make the great escape...

The Shape Of Water: At no point in this film was the notion of Plato's idea that in its purest form, water takes the shape of an icosahedron discussed!

Instead we had the Creature From The Black Lagoon engaging in sexual liaisons with the missus from the Paddington movies!

That's right, and no former partners either.
