We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Jimmy Hoffa — Barbara Ann Crancer's birth date is listed as April 8, 1938, but she was actually born on April 8, 1939.
Travis Bickle — The character's birth year is stated as 1949-1950 based on being 26 in 1975-76, but the film is set in 1975 and Travis says he is 26, making his birth year 1948-1949, not 1949-1950.
Travis Bickle — The entry states Travis 'attempts to assassinate Palantine but flees when noticed by Secret Service agents.' In the film, he is noticed by a Secret Service agent at the rally and flees before he can fire, but the phrasing 'attempts to assassinate' could be mis
Bill Cutting — The film's epilogue montage is set in 1863, not 1902.
Amsterdam Vallon — The entry states Amsterdam Vallon was born in 1846, but the film establishes he was a young boy when his father was killed in 1846, making his birth year closer to 1836-1838.
Amsterdam Vallon — The entry claims Amsterdam became Bill's protégé through involvement in corrupt dealings with Tammany Hall politician William M. Tweed, but in the film Amsterdam is never called a protégé and his dealings with Tweed are minimal and not a direct cause of his tr
Harvey Keitel — The first collaboration date is listed as 1967, but *Who's That Knocking at My Door* was released in 1968, and the release year is the standard reference for collaboration.
Harvey Keitel — The entry states Keitel and Scorsese collaborated on *Shark Tale* (2004), but Keitel did not voice a character in that film.
Music Integration — The ARChive of Contemporary Music was founded in 1985 by B. George and Bob George, not David Wheeler, and its original location was in the East Village, not Lower Manhattan.
Music Integration — The archive has never had three locations in Tribeca; it moved from the East Village to a single location in Tribeca and later to a single location in Hudson, New York.
Catholic Guilt — The debut feature Who's That Knocking at My Door premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1969, not 1967, and the festival did not have a competition category at that time.
Catholic Guilt — The specific regional origins of Scorsese's grandparents (Sicily for paternal, Naples for maternal) are not consistently verified in reliable biographies.
Freeze Frame Technique — The claim that the first known freeze frame in film is generally attributed to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963) is factually incorrect; it is generally attributed to François Truffaut's The 400 Blows (1959).
