Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Taika Waititi, Jodie Comer, Joe Keery
Other mistake: In the frame you can see the girl is playing on a newer Macbook, she is using a wired headset but the headset is not plugged into the laptop, you can also see she is using a wired gaming mouse, and the USB cable is just sitting there not connected to anything. The Macbook is USB-C only and the mouse is USB-A.
Other mistake: In the bank scene where Guy takes away the player's gun, the NPC who can't put his arms down is in the background with his hands on the counter.
Trivia: In one scene, a power-up is just barely visible in the background. It's a bottle marked "Subtle Product Placement." If you look very closely, you can actually see that it's a bottle of Aviation American Gin. Star Ryan Reynolds partially owns a stake in that brand of gin, and has made numerous humorous videos online promoting it.
Question: How come there was no dedication to Alex Trebek in the credits?
Answer: The movie was completely finished over a year ago. It was the pandemic that delayed it. So it was the finished product that was released.

Suggested correction: As one of the principal developers of the simulation engine, Millie recognizes that Guy is a non-player character (NPC) who merely obeys a loop of coded actions, and he's supposedly incapable of acting outside of his code. So, she means that NPCs can't just arbitrarily kiss players. Players can do whatever they want, but NPCs are mindless robots. At that point, however, she doesn't realise that Guy's Artificial Intelligence has evolved to independent self-awareness, allowing him to act outside of his code.

Key's actually says "There isn't a button for that" when Millie brings it up. There would be no way for her to initiate, as her in game actions would be limited to the controls offered.
By the time Millie kisses Guy, we know that the Free City simulation engine was already undergoing Artificial Intelligence evolution, essentially rewriting its own code, allowing Guy (and other NPCs) to achieve independent self-awareness. It follows that Free City was probably rewriting its player code, as well, making all sorts of new and startling functions possible for players and NPCs alike.
