Selena (1997) - 3 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

The opening scene claims to take place in the Houston Astrodome, but the inside shots show that the arena has a hexagonal shape to it. The Astrodome is a circle-shape no matter what is taking place inside, and it seats about 5 times as many people as depicted in the opening shot, despite the claim that Selena's show is sold out. [The producers wanted to use as many onsite locations as possible and they did. The opening shot IS the astrodome.] [I live in Houston and they didn't shoot that in the Astrodome it was the Alomodome in San Antonio. The Astros were playing at the time and they couldn't convert it because it needed dirt and rodeo stuff not grass.]
In the opening and closing footage of the Astrodome concert, Selena's sister Suzette is shown playing the drums. In real life, Suzette had already quit playing in the band by the time this concert was really done. Some guy is playing drums for Selena. [In real life, a man was playing for Selena at the concert, true, but it was simply because her sister couldn't due to an illness, not due to quitting the band.]
