The Butler

Other mistake: When Cecil and Gloria are having their birthday celebration, before they are informed of Charlie's death, Cecil goes to the refrigerator to open a bottle of champagne. We hear the distinct pop of a cork from a bottle of sparkling wine, so we know he chose that bottle, but when he enters the living room a few seconds later, he is holding a glass of non-sparkling wine (no bubbles are visible).

Twotall

Factual error: Early in the film there is a shot of the White House that is supposed to be from the 1950's. If you look closely towards the street in front of the White House at the bottom of the screen you can see modern day cars going by. (00:22:25)
