In the scene when Selena's sister Suzette tells the band the news that their song "Como La Flor" is number one on the charts, they all run and hug each other. There is a man in a red shirt who has no one to hug and apparently is confused as to what to do in that scene. [This doesn't qualify as a mistake. Just because the man doesn't have anyone to hug doesn't mean the director or the actor made a mistake.]

Yolanda Saldivar looks middle aged in the movie, but in real life, Saldivar was about 34 years old when she shot and killed Selena. [She looked middle aged when she was arrested for killing Selena in real life.]
Edit
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.]
Edit
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.]
