When John Malkovich and Clint Eastwood are in the elevator after the attempt on the President, Malkovich busts out the elevator lights so the sharpshooters can't see them. If you put it on Slow Motion, you can see that each light turns off just before he smashes them. [Refer to rules of site. If you have to use slow-motion to reveal this mistake, then it is not a mistake.]

Booth mentions that JFK did not want Secret Service agents on the bumpers of the car. This is a misconception. His agents repeatedly stated that JFK was more than happy to accept all security that was provided. The only thing he asked was if the security bubble over the car could be taken off when he met people, as he liked to do that. He did not insist on this, however; his security team decided it was fine - with disastrous results, of course. [This is irrelevant to the film. The film is a work of fiction and this is merely a character expressing an opinion - it does not need to be disproved. Please confine trivia items to information that actually has significant bearing on the film itself. ]

There have been rumours since day one that JFK had a deathwish as Booth states in the film. This was never the case. The secret service and his friends and family have repeatedly stated that this was not true and that it was the figment of conspiracists' imagination. [This is irrelevant to the film.
