Factual error: In one scene, focused on a period wood-staked pickup truck parked on the street, you can see clearly a modern Jeep Grand Cherokee parked on the other side of the street.
Public Enemies (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, David Wenham, James Russo
John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) is killed by Bureau agents after he leaves a movie theater; before dying, he says his final words to Agent Winstead. Billie (Marion Cotillard) is visited by Winstead and he tells her John's final words: "Bye bye, black bird." Some text on screen before the end credits mention that Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) quit the Bureau one year later and died in an accident in 1960. Billie was released from jail in 1936 and lived the rest of her life in Wisconsin.

John Dillinger: They ain't tough enough, smart enough or fast enough. I can hit any bank I want, any time. They got to be at every bank, all the time.
Trivia: One of the bank scenes were shot at the Little Bohemia Lodge, where there was an actual shoot-out between John Dillinger and the FBI in 1934.
Question: How was John able to communicate to Billie where he'd pick her up when she left the apartment dressed like a man? Their phone was tapped so he had to tell her somehow. Also, in the beginning, who was the woman with the little boy who asked John to take them with?
