Sometimes they get it just plain wrong. In the movie World Trade Center for instance, one of the characters portrays Jason Thomas (born 1974) a former Marine, who rushes to the Towers after the planes hit to help rescue people. In the movie he's a white guy. The actual Jason Thomas is black.... OopsEven movies "based on" some true story have been tweaked for entertainment purposes. I personally could care less about these kind of details.
His portrayal by a white actor in the film generated controversy, although the producers claimed that they were unaware that the real Thomas was black until they had already started filming.

On a funnier note, in the 1990 Night of the Living Dead remake. Patricia Tallman's character can clearly be seen loading primerless 'Dummy' rounds into her lever action rifle.
