12 Stupid Mistakes That Somehow Made It Into 2014 Movies

9. What's In A Name - Hercules

Authenticity probably isn't the most important issue for people making muscle-bound action movies starring WWE stars, but you'd have thought they might have checked something as big and important as the name of the main character, and also the title of the picture... Clearly not with the second (and least terrible) of the Hercules films released in 2014, starring The Rock, as the film-makers chose to ignore the fact that Hercules isn't actually the right name for the son of Zeus. He was called Heracles. Hercules was the Roman name, bestowed by Jupiter (as he's known in Roman circles). Wait, so Zeus is a Roman in disguise?
