Deliberate mistake: There are no yellow/amber lights as Patrick drives Sam and Charlie through the tunnel. Yellow/amber lights are present as soon as drivers enter the tunnel - a warning to slow down, as well as help drivers' eyes to adjust to the light level inside. I presume it was better to have all white lights while filming (and traffic was controlled). (00:27:33)
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Stephen Chbosky
Starring: Paul Rudd, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller
Factual error: In all of the cafeteria scenes, the food pyramid posters that can be seen on the walls are the updated 2011 versions, not the ones they would have had in 1991 and 1992.
Trivia: When Brad was telling his friends he got jumped by some kids, Patrick asked, "Where, Schenley Park? Patrick asked Brad's friends, "Do you guys know about Schenley Park?" People who are not familiar with the park may not know if his implied reference to homosexual activity was true. Schenley has been long-recognized as a gay "hook-up" place. Gay male prostitutes "cruise" around the park. Some men drive around with their car door OPEN - anyone can jump in to hook-up. It's also a joggers' park. (01:10:57)
