Corrected entry: Once the countdown to release the poison has been stopped, The Shredder cuts the supports of the tower holding the poison container so that it will fall and release the poison by smashing open. The turtles attempt to support the tower, but in order to save April they fail and the tower falls anyway. Then the movie forgets that the poison exists. The act of the tower falling gets rolled into another action sequence and after it completely smashes to the ground, no poison. The turtles don't even mention it.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Jonathan Liebesman
Starring: Will Arnett, Megan Fox, William Fichtner, Alan Ritchson
Factual error: In 1999 when April is filming inside the research facility, you can see her video camera displaying Bluetooth, which wasn't available in cameras until 2002.
Michelangelo: What's up, brah? Oh, you think you can handle this, Huh? I'm a snapping turtle fool!
Trivia: When Splinter reveals that he knows April and she speaks his name, the camera pans over Mikey as he asks if she is a Jedi and he can be seen holding a can of Orange Crush. As promotion for the movie, Mikey was featured on the boxes of Orange Crush soda once the movie came out. Similarly with Donnie on Grape Crush and Raph on Strawberry Crush.
Question: How does Splinter know who shredder is? It's established that his first memories are from the lab so that's how he knows Eric Sacks is a bad guy and April saved them, but how does Splinter know Sacks is working for the foot and is connected to shredder? He even knows shredder trained Sacks as a boy, but this was in Japan, 20 to 30 years before Splinter was around.
Answer: Sacks told April that he was raised in Japan by a local sensei, and that he shared the lessons he learnt with her father. Splinter would have overheard Sacks mention his master at the lab, as well as when O'Neil discovered what he was up to with Project Renaissance and his connection to Shredder and the Foot Clan.

Correction: The canister containing the poison doesn't smash - in the overhead shot of the tower smashed on the ground with the turtles in it, the canister is still visibly intact.
