The Young Victoria picture

Factual error: Prince Albert was not really wounded in the assassination attempt depicted near the end of the film. Eyewitness accounts differed as to whether he pushed Victoria down to protect her or simply dived for cover himself, but neither of the two bullets fired struck either of them.

I Love You Phillip Morris picture

Other mistake: In a scene toward the end of the film, there is a shot showing a calendar with the month March 1998. It shows Friday as being the 13th (reference to Philip Morris' birthday), but Saturday appears as the 15th. Did the actual month of March, 1998 not contain the 14th?

Dorian Gray picture

Continuity mistake: 21 minutes and 30 seconds into the film, Dorian enters Cibyl's dressing room holding his hat and what seems to be the program to the performance (that he has just watched with Cibyl in it).

Dorian did not sit down anywhere or go near anything that he could have put the "program" down on to be picked up again a few seconds later. (00:21:30 - 00:22:00)
