The Room

Other mistake: When Johnny and Mark save Denny from Chris R., they claim they are taking Chris R. to the police station. However, they re-appear in the scene almost immediately after (within 2 minutes of screentime, which is meant to be in real-time), with their having been obviously nowhere near enough time for them to have taken Chris R. to the police and done the appropriate interviews/paperwork.

Other mistake: When Johnny first goes into the flower shop to buy roses for Lisa, the clerk says she didn't know it was him. As he is leaving, she says he is her favorite customer. If he's her favorite customer, then there's no way she couldn't have known it was him, especially given how unusual he looks and sounds.

Other mistake: You can tell that Johnny and Lisa's second love scene re-uses several shots from their previous love-scene, and also includes alternate unused angles from the shooting of that scene. Watch for the rain running down the windows to give it away.

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).

Peter: People are people. Sometimes they just can't see their own faults.

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.
