Simone

Revealing mistake: When Simone is performing in concert, the auditorium is supposed to be packed full. But when the camera flies over the audience, in the background you can see empty space because only about 100 extras were recruited for the audience. (01:04:00)

Revealing mistake: When Hank shows Viktor the newspaper article "Taransky's future in doubt", the article to the left of it "Anders Exit Sets Sun", has repeated paragraphs in it, beginning "Working with nearly every one of Hollywood's leading men..." (00:09:40)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie, Al Pacino has been arrested and is in a cage. When he demands to be let out, he grabs the cage and it wobbles, showing it's not fixed to the ground.

Factual error: In the scene of the concert, Simone is a hologram but the microphone is real, as it is set up in the previous scene with Viktor and crew going over details, but one shot shows Simone holding and singing into the microphone, which is impossible for a hologram to pick up. (01:03:40)

Question: Many people believe that Simone is a real person. But what about the actors that work with her? Clearly, they would know that Simone is not a real person but an A.I., since she's never actually in any scenes with them, and the actors themselves would say they never actually met her.
