Mistakes in The Doors

Mistake #1

During the scene where Morrison is sitting on the ledge of a building and drinking, you can see a billboard advertisement for a film below him on the street. Even though this scene is set around 1969, the ad is for the Eddie Murphy-Nick Nolte film, Another 48 Hrs.

Mistake #2

After the New Haven gig in which the captions tell us is in "1968," Jim Morrison is arrested. On his mug shot photos, the date given is "12-15-67."

Mistake #3

During the Miami gig directly after Jim exposes himself and mayhem breaks out, it is as clear as daylight that the stage collapses and all of the speakers, band equipment, etc is rendered useless. A few seconds later though, Jim is walking through the crowd singing "Break On Through" with backing live music as if the band was still playing up on stage. Jim is also using a standard wired microphone, which he could not have walked all around the venue through the crowd with.

Mistake #4

During the Miami 1969 gig, mid-song into "Five To One", Jim swings the microphone around over his head and hits one of the venue promoters (who we had seen a few minutes earlier, stating "There's gonna be a show here tonight or I'll throw a wig on and sings those songs myself") in the head. Other shots during the beginning of the show have the promoter nowhere near the stage area where he could have been hit. Secondly, Jim's microphone chord would have to defy logic in several ways ANYWAYS to hit the promoter, even if he were close by, without first striking at least a few other people, or other things.

Mistake #5

During the Thanksgiving scene, Pamela chucks a spoonful of sweet potatoes onto Jim's face. But as Jim chases her around the dining room his face looks scrubbed clean.
