Factual error: When Lucy is on the chair traveling through time, she's in Manhattan and goes back to the time before Europeans, where there are plains Native Americans on horses. Wrong Native Americans, and they didn't have horses yet.

Revealing mistake: After the drug addict gets shot, one of the henchmen lifts the dead drug addict's leg up and the other leg lifts up with it before the second henchman had a chance to grab it. It looks unrealistic as if it is a prop rather than a real human being dragged.

Factual error: When Lucy is in the Chair, traveling back in time to meet the original Lucy, she finds herself still in the New York geographical area. However, the original Lucy would have been in Africa, specifically Hadar, Ethiopia. After Lucy touches her finger, she flashes once again, transitioning from the former New York City area to the vast universe.

Continuity mistake: When Lucy is in the chair in the room with the scientists, the mob guy launch a shoulder fired missile into the room, and then the room explode, both Lucy and the scientists are hit, and then Lucy goes back in time. After that when it goes back to the room when the mob boss is about to shoot Lucy's head, the room, Lucy and the scientists are unimpaired.

Trivia: During Lucy's final transformation sequence, her consciousness starts traveling through time by millions of years. At one point, Lucy pauses in time to observe and interact with an ape-like creature, reaching out to touch its fingertip. Although not expressly stated or explained in the film, this ape-like creature was what scientists today classify as Australopithecus afarensis, the earliest identifiable ancestor of humankind. The first fossils of Australopithecus afarensis were determined to be from a female who was christened "Lucy" by scientists.
