Factual error: When Sam and Ginger are in the restaurant after Ginger and Leicester attempt to kidnap their daughter, Sam rails to Ginger that Leicester couldn't possibly be fitted for 25 suits in three days. The fact is, you only get fitted once and then you pick out the fabric for all the suits you want to buy, so he couldn't have taken delivery of 25 suits, but he could have easily been fitted.

Factual error: When Henry and Jimmy go to Morrie's to collect jimmy's money, Morrie's commercial seems to be running on a loop, presumably via VCR. VCR was invented in 76 and available in the US a year later. This scene was before then.

Factual error: In the very beginning of the movie, a mom walks in on her son masturbating to a TV show and the title said the scene was from the 1950s. The boy was wearing blue colored braces that weren't available in the 1950s.

Factual error: At the beginning of the movie when Salieri is first talking to the priest asking him if he recognizes some of his songs, they cut away to an opera. A woman can be seen descending stairs where there appears to be smoke falling down the stairs, which would have to be dry ice. While it was first discovered/observed in 1825, it wasn't commercially available until 1925.

Factual error: In The Bonnie Situation when the white kid busts out of the bathroom and empties his "canon", there is absolutely no recoil on the weapon. The gun is either a .357 magnum or .44 cal and would have a huge kick after firing. In this scene, he fires all the shots with barely any recoil at all.

Factual error: When Meryl Streep is walking outside and talking to Mrs. Miller about the potential abuses of her son, you can see a basketball court in the background and on the court is a 3-point line. The movie is supposed to take place in 1964 and the 3 point line wasn't introduced until 1979/1980. (01:10:20)
