In the 2nd scene of the movie she is standing on the street, and in the background at the top left there is a billboard with an ad for www.quepasa.com. The movie was set in the early 90's. But the web wasn't even around then (well... not like we know it now). That web site came out in 1998. See more...

Trivia

In the diner when you see the real Erin Brockovich (the waitress), you can also see the real Ed Masry. He is sitting directly behind Julia Roberts and her baby. Another side note, look at the real Erin Brockovich's name-badge, it says Julia. See more...

At the end when the delivery guy gives Julia Roberts her bonus check, the envelope is open. I forgot how much the check was for but anytime someone delivers any check amount the envelope is definitely not supposed to be open. [The check is open when Erin receives it at the end. That is because Ed Masry opens it and views it before. He also is the one to hand it to her.]

Before Erin gets her $2m cheque she takes an address from someone on the phone. We hear the pen scratching over the paper, but when the camera angle changes she has no pen in her hand. [There is actually no pen scratching. Erin is not writing the information down; she's memorizing it just like she did all along. Remember when Kurt Potter's assistant Theresa tells Erin that she doesn't have phone numbers/addresses for some of her plaintiffs? Erin rattles them off from memory.]

In the scene where the car hits Julia Roberts, some extras start running away from the accident before the car even comes speeding by. [I've watched the scene 3 times, everything looks normal. There are 3 people running across the street but once they get across they walk normally again. After the crash, they react to it accordingly.]
