The Room

Factual error: When Johnny commits suicide in the end, the slide of the pistol doesn't move when it fires. (01:33:00)

Factual error: The way Johnny records the phone-calls makes no sense whatsoever. He plugs in an old cassette-tape player/recorder to his phone, puts a single tape in, yet we're expected to believe it is always recording, and never fills up. Tapes don't last long enough for him to record days of audio, nor will lazily "plugging it in" to the phone record all of the phonecalls.

Audio problem: Much of Johnny's dialog is dubbed in throughout the film, with his lips and dialog not quite matching. (This is due to actor/director Tommy Wiseau's thick accent making the original dialogue sometimes hard to understand).

Trivia: Director Tommy Wiseau shot the film using a dual camera-rig. He shot the film on both a 35mm film camera and an (at the time) new HD movie-camera, both mounted to the same rig so they could more-or-less get similar angles, as he didn't quite understand the differences in the mediums and wanted to experiment shooting the film with both simultaneously.
