Other mistake: Ed Wood's second girlfriend (later his wife) is not a practiced knitter. Her technique is terrible and she looks like she was taught how to knit about five minutes before the scene.

Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Johnny Depp, Bill Murray, Sarah Jessica Parker, Martin Landau, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones
Factual error: The movie is set in the late 1950s, yet Ed's car has yellow-on-black California license plates that weren't issued until 1963. The plates on Ed's car should be black-on-yellow 1956 issue plates.
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Are you people insane? I'm the director. I make the casting decisions around here.
