Across the Universe

Revealing mistake: Although set in the 1960's, the school bus lettering was Arial, a font not invented until 1983.

Continuity mistake: During "Hey Jude" when the drummer drums on the cans the wall in front of him is not hit by the sun or showing any light, almost as if he is in a large ally. But after he kicks the lid off the can and the scene changes there is a ray of light on the whole wall.
