Continuity mistake: When Billie Jean hits the winning shot against Bobby Riggs, she is inside the square closest to the net. However, when she throws her racket in the air in victory a second later she has moved outside the box, close to the center of the court.

-40/10.Possibly one of the biggest deceitful acts ever pulled in the world of sports.An old man playing someone young to be his daughter.It's long since been suspected Riggs threw the match to Jean to pay off debts to the mob.He was too old and out of shape and he knew it.She was also lousy in cheating her manager/lover out of money owed to her then fired her.Both Emma Stone and Steve Carrell are lousy in most movies they do, this is just another stinker for them both.

TV Reporter: Miss King said she will not play for the money but, in her words, "to put women's tennis and women's lib back where it belongs. Riggs said he issued the challenge because "I want to prove that women are lousy and they don't belong on the same court as a man."
