Ten MORE historically inaccurate movies

The good people at yahoo movies! decided to put out a list of the top 10 movies "that would make your high school history teacher cry!" Here is what they said about Braveheart, Patriot, Gladiator, 10,000 BC, 2001:Space Odyssey, 300, Elizabeth:The Golden Age, Memoirs of a Geisha, Apocalypto, and The Last Samurai...
"We all accept that movies stretch the truth in the interest of building drama. The following ten flicks, however, treat the truth like it was Silly Putty -- pulling and twisting it until it's unrecognizable."

Ummmm they are MOVIES!

Therefore I came up with a list of 10 that were more inaccurate.
1) Batman Returns. First off, where is Gothom? Secondly, a Catwoman? Finally, this Penguin character steals all of these kids, yet the cops don't care because he rides in a Duck?

2) Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. All of those powers from the Emperor? The "Force?" Freaking Ewoks?

3)Blue Chips. OK, first of all, the point shaving scandle at Western? They were the Dolphins. Also, when did Shaq and Penny go to COLLEGE together?

4) Wild, Wild West featuring Will Smith. I don't think they had robots like that walking around back then.

5) Forrest Gump. Enough Said.

6) The Replacements. If the Redskins back in the strike shortened year REALLY got a SUMO wrestler to be on the squad, then TAKE AWAY that Super Bowl Trophy.

7) Reality Bites. I don't think it does.

8) Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl. Ummm, let's ignore the whole "they aren't dead, just walking around in the moonlight" for a second...you REALLY think Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley wouldn't have GOTTEN IT ON on that island?

9) Jurassic Park. They didn't REINVENT Dinosaurs!

10) Lord of the Rings. Hobbits, elves, walking trees, some little troll searching to a ring. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright VERY inaccurate!
