Revealing mistake: Right at the end of the film when Sam, Patrick and Charlie are driving through the tunnel, when Charlie begins to stand up on the back of the truck, look slightly beneath his flapping jacket and you can see the safety wires attached to him.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Stephen Chbosky
Starring: Paul Rudd, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller
Factual error: Whenever Charlie, Patrick, and Sam go through the tunnel into the city, you can see "Consol Center" on the road sign. The Pittsburgh Consol Center was built in 2008, but this movie's set in the 90s.
Trivia: Brad lied to his friends about how his face got banged up, saying he was jumped by some kids outside of the "O." The "O" refers to the Original Hot Dog Place, which was located close to the University of Pitsburgh's Cathedral of Learning and was very popular among the students and others. It had been in operation for about 60 years but closed on 4/18/20 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Pittsburgh native Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks) tried to buy the "O" but it was sold to a chain. (01:09:52)
