Directed by: Bennett Miller
Starring: Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, Stephen Bishop
Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Billy is having ice cream with his daughter, watch the can of whipped cream change even though it wasn't picked up.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Billy is trading away players with Pete watching, his coffee cup moves back and forth from right to left without him touching it.
Continuity mistake: When Brad Pitt is showing Jonah Hill the offer from the Red Sox at the end, his head is resting on his hand in shots from behind, but not from the front.
Factual error: When Billy Beane is listening to Game 5 of the 2001 ALDS on his portable radio, we should either be hearing the Athletics radio announcers or ESPN Radio's coverage. Instead, we keep hearing the voice of Thom Brennaman, who was calling the game on television for the Fox network.
Billy Beane: You're doing it again.
Casey Beane: What?
Billy Beane: You're worrying about me.
Casey Beane: You're in last place, dad.
Billy Beane: Do I look worried?
Casey Beane: Yeah.
Billy Beane: 'Cause you're getting on an airplane. Those things crash all the time.
Trivia: Although it isn't shown in the film, Billy Beane managed, by using Paul DePodesto's sabermetric analysis, to get thirteen of the twenty players he wanted in the 2002 amateur draft. At the time, this was unprecedented; no GM before had ever finished the draft with more than six of their top choices, and most GMs are lucky to even get their top two or three choices.
