Here Alone (2016)

Been sitting here wondering for a few minutes WHY this gal just put mud on her car. Do zombies target the clean ones? Do they know if you have been through a snazzy car wash? Can they smell the soap?

Some of these goofs aren't goofs at all, just dumbasses not paying attention:

1. "William Wallace was not a mere commoner. His family had a minor nobility and he owned his own land." Yeah. He expresses that he only came back to be a farmer, shown rebuilding the home he clearly owns (after many years being away, repairs were needed), and when they won Stirling, it is brought up to reinstate his nobility to Scotland so they could elect him as King (which of course he was having none of that shit). It's a brief scene, but acknowledging he wasn't a commoner.

2. "When Longshanks announces he is re-instituting "Prima Nocta" to his advisers, Isabella looks confused, prompting him to tell her it means "first night" and entitles the local lord to sexual rights with common girls on their wedding night. Later, when Isabella first meets with William Wallace, Lord Hamilton speaks to her in Latin, illustrating that she actually does understand the language and should not have been confused earlier." That's not why she was confused, morons. She's confused due to not knowing what the order was, not because he first spoke the name of it in Latin. Even translating it to "first night" doesn't clear up anything, hence it getting explained. Way to read a woman's facial expression :P

3. "In the movie, Wallace is jumped, beaten down, and captured at Edinburgh Castle, betrayed by Robert the Bruce. In real-life, Wallace was betrayed by a Scottish nobleman loyal to King Edward, Sir John Menteith. Wallace was captured at what is now Robroyston (named for another legendary Scottish hero, Rob Roy MacGregor), a suburb of Glasgow." Try again, if you watch the movie, Robert The Bruce is clearly left out of the betrayal, asswads.

I'm not going to jump on the historical accuracy. Considering Randall had nothing to work from other than an epic poem and a couple of statues, I wouldn't have expected much anyway.

Yeah, #3 is retarded. He betrayed him on the battlefield but not in that scene.
