One bit of physics that was shown wrong I think was in the one Star Trek movie where they show a bottle of champaign breaking against the hull of the ship. I mean the bottle was stoppered in a one atmosphere environment and in orbit there is no atmospheric pressure so why didn't it explode? Granted I might be off on that somehow, but it doesn't make sense to me. And even if the glass is able to take the pressure difference the champaign was liquid when the bottle broke and even orbital space is some -200 degrees. I also have to wonder about the engines of the ship in 2001. Why so large? Surely ion engines would be small and the ship would accelerate over time. Not sure if it was the script writers or the film makers who got those things wrong.
