Visible crew/equipment: At the end when Ella Fitzgerald is singing "When the Saints come Marching in", a camera shadow briefly passes over her right arm.
Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)
Directed by: Martyn Burke
Starring: Anthony Michael Hall, Noah Wyle, J.G. Hertzler, Joey Slotnick
Revealing mistake: The same extras can be seen in several different crowd scenes. Specifically, the same people can be seen in the crowd that storms the computer fair and in the auditorium when Steve Jobs makes his final speech.
Factual error: At the start of the film Woz is starting to build an Apple 1 computer. Onscreen caption dates it at 1971. He is wearing an LCD digital watch - this would be far too early.
Bill Gates: Think they're hookers?
Paul Allen: Either that or motel inspectors. I saw one of them go into the room next to ours about a dozen times yesterday.
Steve Jobs: Are you a virgin?
Mike Markkula: Steve, come on.
Mike Markkula: Steve Wozniak's employee number one, you're number two.
Steve Jobs: Wait a minute. I'm employee number one. Woz?
Steve Wozniak: Doesn't matter to me.
Steve Jobs: I'm employee number one around here.
Mike Markkula: I'm not saying anything. I wasn't implying anything.
Steve Jobs: All right, then I'll be zero. Woz, you can be number one. I'll be zero. Okay?
