Other mistake: Brandon is at Candace's in the shack when Chloe Sevigny drives away to her home - which is at a driving distance - to get her things, and somehow Brandon pops in her window to tell her to hurry up! How did she get there so fast?

1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Kimberly Peirce
Starring: Peter Sarsgaard, Hilary Swank, Chloë Sevigny, Brendan Sexton III
Revealing mistake: The morning after Brandon is killed Lana wakes up with her head resting on Brandon's waist and you can clearly see his hip heaving as he breathes.
Brandon: Lana, you are one cranky girl.
Trivia: In the film, Brandon escapes from John and Tom after being run roughshod by them. In actual life, John and Tom let her go after the beating, but with a stern warning not to go to the police. Brandon nevertheless went and reported the crime.
Answer: Brandon's birth name is Teena Tenae Brandon. When Teena decided to become a man, he reversed his first and last name to become Brandon Teena. Lana may have continued to call him Teena as a form of "I know the real you" familiarity "pet name".
