We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Aelita (film) — The film was not released in the United States in 1929 as 'Aelita: Revolt of the Robots'; the U.S. release title was 'Aelita: Queen of Mars'.
Aelita (film) — Dmitri Shostakovich did not play piano for the film's performances in Leningrad; he was a child at the time and there is no documented record of him performing for this film.
The First Men in the Moon (1919 film) — The characters are named 'Samson Cavor' and 'Rupert Bedford' in the plot synopsis, but in H.G. Wells' novel the characters are 'Mr. Bedford' and 'Professor Cavor' (first name not given as Samson), and 'Rupert Bedford' is not a canonical name.
The First Men in the Moon (1919 film) — The character 'Hogben' is not a character in Wells' novel; the young engineer who contacts Cavor via wireless is not named Hogben in the original story.
The Ghost of Slumber Mountain — The claim that the film is 'the first motion picture to place live actors alongside stop-motion creatures' is incorrect; earlier films like *The Lost World* (1912) and *The Dinosaur and the Missing Link* (1915) predate it.
The Ghost of Slumber Mountain — The entry contains a contradiction: the intro and stats say 'about 40 minutes' but the lore says '45-minute film'; the widely accepted original length is approximately 40 minutes.
High Treason (1929 British film) — The claim that Raymond Massey made his first screen appearance in this film is incorrect; his first screen appearance was in the 1928 silent film 'The Crooked Billet' (also known as 'The Silent House').
High Treason (1929 British film) — The claim that the only known surviving original copy of the sound version is held by the Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association is unverified and likely false; the BFI National Archive is more commonly cited as holding surviving materials.
The Invisible Ray (1920 serial) — The serial 'The Invisible Ray' (1920) was not directed by Harry A. Pollard; it was directed by George B. Seitz.
The Invisible Ray (1920 serial) — The serial's plot was not based on a scientific investigation for the Chemical Division of the United States Department of the Interior; this claim appears to be fabricated or conflated with another work.
A Trip to Mars — The cast list includes 'Lilly Jacobson' as Marya, but the correct spelling of the actress's name is 'Lilly Jacobsson' (with double 's').
A Trip to Mars — The entry states that Denmark did not make another science fiction film until *Reptilicus* in 1961, but this ignores other Danish science fiction films such as *The Man Who Thought* (1929) or *The Missing Policeman* (1939), which have science fiction elements;
Woman in the Moon — The claim that the first successfully launched V-2 rocket had the Frau im Mond logo painted on its base is imprecise; the logo was on the first successful test launch (3 October 1942), not necessarily the first operational V-2.
