Mistakes

When Viktor has been arrested for "murdering" Simone, he is in a room with a man who walks between two peg-lines, with magazines and posters featuring Simone on them, pegged up. Between shots the magazines pegged up change, ie. When the man walks along in a closeup saying "This is fake, fake, fake, fake, fake..", he walks past a big poster of Simone standing, posing in a leather suit, and to the viewers right of this poster, a magazine called "Variety" and then next to that a magazine called "Simone" are pegged up. Then when it cuts to a wideshot, these two magazines are totally different ones, as you can tell by the front cover picture / layout / text etc. Other magazines change and move around too.

Trivia

All of the other actors that Simone works with in her films have computer names. They are named Mac, Apple, Hewlett, Epson, and there are several others. You can especially see this on the DVD in the deleted scene "Sunset Uncut". See more...

When Simone is shown on the Brand TV show in the desert, at the end of the "satellite feed" that is being sent to the show, for a second, the background is still shown (supposedly being aired on the "live" TV show) but Simone has disappeared from the shot. [That was deliberate, the background is a real image but Simone is not; her image was corrupted by insufficient computer memory, which is why her image appeared to crackle and be lost.]

Viktor's lawyer suggests that he plead diminished capacity for Simone's murder. California abolished the diminished capacity defense in 1982 following the Dan White murders of "Twinkie defense" fame. [This movie happens in the future. A similar defense may have been reinstated for some reason that is not explained in the film.]

Near the beginning of the movie, Al Pacino receives the hard drive with the Simone program on it. As he pulls out the hard drive, you can see the arm and the platters of the drive. Taking the covers off a hard drive, especially on a beach, would render the hard drive inoperable, due to sand, dust or dirt getting into the mechanisms and between the platters. [He never opens the drive, in fact: it is never open. It is just a hard disk with a transparent cover.]
