Once Upon a Time in America

Correction: The municipality of Hollywood was incorporated in 1903. Hollywoodland was a housing development created in the 1920s. The Hollywood (land) sign was originally an advertisement for the development.

Corrected entry: Education in U.S. prisons must have been excellent in them days: A day or two after being released, after serving something like ten years, Noodles drives a car with great routine. (01:56:00)

Correction: "Them days," seriously? Driving a car is like riding a bike. Once you learn how to do it, relearning to drive and navigate comes back very quickly. I hadn't ridden a motorcycle in over 20 years before I bought another one. I was riding like a veteran rider within a few days.

Jennifer Connelly has green eyes not blue.

Continuity mistake: When Noodles is raping Roberta in the car, her socks are pale brown-grey, then camera angle changes, and they are black, and then they are grey-brown again.
