Deliberate mistake: It's very likely deliberate, but at the end of the movie, Lorne and Rosie are asked by the production which last name Rosie should be credited as, "Michaels" or "Shuster." They pick Shuster. In the actual show, she is credited as Rosie Michaels. (01:37:50)

1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Jason Reitman
Starring: Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, Kaia Gerber
Factual error: George Carlin is played in the movie by Matthew Rhys. They went as far as to recreate with him, on a prop, the cover of "An Evening With Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo", the album that Carlin pitched at the end of the original episode and that Rhys brings on stage in this movie at dress rehearsal. However, in this cover, Rhys is looking to his upper left, Carlin looked to the upper right. With such attention to detail, it's easy to imagine it could be deliberate. (00:43:00)
Jim Henson: The writers on the seventeenth floor tied a belt around Big Bird's neck and hung him from my dressing room door.
