Factual error: The painting "Saturno devorando a su hijo" has been in the Museo del Prado (Madrid, Spain) since 1876. Plus, it can't be a sketch as the movie states, because the original painting was a mural work that was transferred to canvas after Goya's death.
Factual error: On the ecography that Jake shows to Gekko there's a note on the top left corner stating it's an 8 week baby. However, the baby seen on-screen is 4-5 months old.
Continuity mistake: After Jake signs the contract, the real estate seller lifts up her glasses. A frame later they're back down by the tip of her nose.
Gordon Gekko: Someone reminded me I once said "Greed is good." Now it seems it's legal. Because everyone is drinking the same Kool Aid.
Trivia: Michael Douglas (Gekko) shops in London's Savile Row store and a signed picture of Michael's father, Kirk Douglas, is hanging over a fireplace. The real picture is in fact hanging in a real London shop.
Question: Didn't Gordon Gekko only have a son in Wall Street, not a daughter, as he does here in Wall Street Never Sleeps?

Answer: Gordon did talk about his son (who was then about 3-years-old) to Bud Fox in Wall Street, but that does not mean he only had one kid. He may have had another child that wasn't mentioned. It's also possible that Gekko's wife was pregnant at the time he was indicted.
