Corrected entry: When Shakespeare is playing Romeo at the end and is doing the poison drinking scene, he first opens the bottle, says what he has to say and in the next shot he opens the bottle again before he actually drinks the stuff.

Shakespeare in Love (1998)
Corrected entry: At the end, Shakespeare uses the word "America" to Lady Viola, but the word America wasn't used at the time; it was referred to as the "New World" or "the Colonies."
Correction: The film starts in 1593. Cartographer Martin Waldseemueller named the New World America in 1507.
Correction: We see him open it then give his speech but the shot where he drinks from the bottle is from behind him and the bottle can't be seen. Although his free hand reaches to the bottle, we can only speculate why, we certainly can't see him open it a second time.
