The film Léon, follows an Italian-American hitman of the same name. Natalie Portman debuted in this film, acting as Mathilda, a 12 year old girl whose family was killed by corrupt DEA agents. Léon reluctantly sheltered her while the officers are searching for the missing drugs. The rest of the story follows Mathilda learning about how to be a hitman, preparing to exact vengeance for the death of her whole family.

CorrectionUm actually ... Her vengeance was not for her whole family, it was only for her younger brother, as she wasn't on good terms with the rest of her family.

 

Communication is important when coordinating the fight against demons. Thus, each member of the Demon Slayer Corps is assigned a black crow who can talk and pass messages. Despite looking rather alike, each of the crows have their own personalities and traits, such as Tanjiro's being intelligent and prideful (frequently calling Tanjiro a "bird-brain"), Tengen's crow being fashionable and Muichiro's having long eyelashes and being abrasive to others.

CorrectionUm actually ... Not all members are assigned a black crow that can speak. Zenitsu is assigned Chuntaro, who is neither a black crow, nor could speak (though he is still classified as a "Kasugai Crow")

 

In Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, after Austin and Venessa are caught; Dr Evil, in a cliche "Bond-villain" mannerism, decides to slowly lower the two into a tank filled with sharks, with lasers attached to their heads. Then he returns to having dinner, closing the door to the tank. His son, Scott Evil, advising to observe their deaths, and even suggested to simply shoot them with a gun instead, but those advice fell to deaf ears.

CorrectionUm actually ... They didn't have a tank filled with sharks. Due to sharks being on the endangered list at the time, getting sharks was too difficult. Instead, they used sea bass, with lasers attached to their heads.

 

Mitsuri, the Love Hashira, is one of the fan favourite Hashira. In her backstory, we learnt that she possess immense strength even as a child, easily overpowering even grown man. However, she found herself unable to find a suitor growing up. After her failed marriage negotiations, she realized that she has to hide her true self. She pretended to be weak, held back from eating and even dyed her hair pink in order to be more attractive. In the end, she joined the Demon Slayer Corps to fulfil her goal of finding a suitable husband who is stronger than her, rising to the ranks of a Hashira due to her physical prowess.

CorrectionUm actually ... She didn't dye her hair pink. It became pink because she ate too much sakura mochi.

It was deemed abnormal and thus she dyed her hair black. (However, this doesn't seem to occur in the manga, and was depicted in the anime)

Hey, not sure if this is frowned upon, but since I don't see that it's against the rules, here's a shameless promotion to a community dedicated to Um Actually questions.

I loved the concept of the game show and that prompted me to create similar questions. Though the community is currently just a dumping grounds for all my ideas, just want to put it out there for people with similar interests.

In Invincible, Robot was a rather mysterious figure. He was initially part of the Teen Team, who later joined and was appointed the leader of the new Guardians of the Globe after the previous guardians died. Throughout the series, we see that he is scheming some plan with the Mauler Twins, aiding their escape from prison. It was later revealed that the robot was controlled by a human who suffered serious deformations and illness. He was then aided by the twins to artificially create a body made from his team member's, Rex Splode's, blood. The twins then help transfer his consciousness from the original body to this new one.

CorrectionUm actually ... His consciousness is not transferred to the new body. It was duplicated over to the new body, and the original died of its illness.

In the original 151 Pokemons, Psyduck and Slowpoke are the two "derpy-looking" Water/Psychic types. Psyduck has mystical powers, but doesn't recall using them; which is why it always looks so confused. Meanwhile, Slowpoke is so oblivious that if something bites its tail, it won't even notice for a whole day. In episode 66 of the anime, when the team is tasked by Oak to figure out what causes the evolution of Slowpoke to Slowbro, Misty's Psyduck comes out of it's Pokeball and proceed to have a long, seemingly random and unintelligible conversation with a Slowpoke.

CorrectionUm actually ... Psyduck is not a Water/Psychic type, it is a pure Water type despite it's namesake.

(The Japanese name of Psyduck was Ko-duck, which could mean "child-duck" and thus does not hint at its psychic abilities at all)

 

Yor Forger, previously Yor Briar, works for Garden as an assassin under the code name "Thorn Princess". She is highly well-suited in her role, having immense physical strength that even easily overpower WISE agent Fiona Frost when playing tennis. She is also highly resistant to poison. She drank a cocktail laced with pufferfish poison, and only felt slightly unwell. When fighting the assassins on the cruise ship, she was unfazed after inhaling poison gas capable of taking down a bear.

CorrectionUm actually ... She did not feel unwell after drinking the poison. She was suffering from a gunshot wound during the previous assignment, and drinking the poison relieved her pain.

Compound V is chemical that plays an important part in The Boys TV series. Supes, who initially were thought to be born naturally, were actually created by Vought when they inject babies with this chemical, granting them super powers. It also boost the performance of Supes when injected and was also responsible for creating super-powered terrorists. In the fight against Supes, even our protagonists, Butcher and Hughie, resorted to using it to gain laser eyes and teleportation respectively.

CorrectionUm actuallly ... Butcher and Hughie did not use Compound V. They used Temp V, which is a newly developed, temporary version of the chemical.

In Jujutsu Kaisen 0, we follow the high school student Yuta Okkotsu. He is cursed by his childhood friend and love interest, Rika; who died in a freak accident and became an extremely powerful, overprotective spirit that harms anyone who threatens him. He became skilled at using a katana, which not only serves for combat purposes but also to controls the cursed energy from Rika.

CorrectionUm actually... Yuta was the one who (unknowingly) cursed Rika, rather it is the other way around, as he was unable to accept her death.

 

In the final episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, after the protaganists lose the fight against Pucci, Emporio finds himself in Green Dolphin Street Prison. Emporio tricks Pucci into inserting Weather Report's Stand disc into his head, thereby granting him its powers. Using the stand to fill the room with pure oxygen, Emporio finally defeats Pucci. The season ends in a bittersweet moment where we see Emporio and Ermes hitchhiking a ride with Jolyne and Anasui, who are now a couple.

CorrectionUm actually ... Due to Pucci resetting the universe, the characters at the end are not the same as the ones that we've known throughout the story. They resemble their counterparts, but don't share their names. Their names are actually Eldis, Irene and Anakis respectively,

 

Chisato is an elite Lycoris, an agent of a government-sponsored all-female task force of assassins and spies made up of orphans. She has such great agility that she can dodge bullets at point blank range. Due her poor accuracy with a gun, she uses this skill to dodge enemy attacks while getting closer, allowing her to hit her shots.

spoilerUm actually ... She doesn't have poor gun accuracy. It is because of her insistence of using non-lethal rubber bullets which have a less predictable trajectory which requires her to get closer.
