14 GIANT Mistakes You Never Noticed in Major Motion Pictures

5. John Coffey Deserved a Better Death

In Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile, Tom Hanks is a prison guard who witnesses a series of miracles surrounding the gentle giant John Coffey, a man who’s been wrongly accused of raping a little girl. As the overseer on death row, Hanks supervises the electric chair executions of a series of Louisiana inmates in the mid-thirties. Of course, in reality, Louisiana didn’t start using the electric chair until 1940 (which means that Stephen King got that fact wrong in his book too).
