Corrected entry: When V reveals that the notes that Evey had been reading while imprisoned were from a real person and that he had saved the notes all of these years, there is a large problem. How did V manage to save the notes from the fire? V is not wearing any clothes and you can plainly see that he is not holding anything in his hands since they are not clenched at all when he first walks through the flames.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Evey activates the tube train and joins Mr. Finch on the platform as the train moves out of the station, several large production-grade lighting fixtures on tall stands can be seen along the platform. It's possible that these were "hidden in plain sight" and were supposed to be work lights for V. (02:02:20)

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: The BTN news studio facility does not have teleprompters/autocues on their cameras. In the scene where V enters the studio, you can also see that one of the camera's viewfinders is turned off. (00:17:00)

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: When V is broadcasting his plans on the television everybody is watching in awe. There is a gentleman in the bar who is smoking a cigarette letting it hang from his mouth as he watches the screen. Next shot back to him he is still staring at the screen but his cigarette is twice as big as it was before. It is unlikely that he lit another one because everybody was glued to the screen and not even drinking their drinks.
Correction: Watched for this mistake. That man is shown twice. The first time, he is casually watching the video, flicking the ash off his nearly finished cigarette into an ashtray. Next time he is shown (a fair while later) he has another cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Since he wasn't particulary engrossed the first time we saw him, and his cigarette was almost finished, it's fair to assume he very shortly thereafter lit up another one and sometime after that realized the gravity of what V was doing, forgetting all about the new cigarette in his mouth.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: The mouse hole in which Evey finds Valerie's message is (when standing in the doorway) on the right side of the cell. But when Evey gets out, we see that her cell (number 5) is the last one of the left row, meaning there only is a full wall to its right, with cell number 4 to its left (which is consistent with what we we see in the doctor's memories). Thus, the hole does not link cell 5 to cell 4 (Valerie's). Since V took the time to recreate Larkhill, and wants Evey to live through exactly the same experience he has, there is no reason why he wouldn't recreate everything as it originally was. Plus, as previously said, his underground setting corresponds to the doctor's memories.
Correction: All we ever see of Larkhill cells in the doctor's memories is a hall with doors. Pretty typical of most detention facilities. And just because that hallway ends with Evey's cell, or V's cell at Larkhill, doesn't mean that's the edge of the building. There could be another cell on the opposite side of that wall with a seperate hallway because they're seperate cell blocks for a seperate type of inmate. Also, V does not even remotely attempt to recreate his own experience at Larkhill as Evey was not used as a lab rat, injected with diseases so potential cures could be tested on her. Basically, it's never explicitly stated in the film which cell housed Valerie, and even if it did plainly state she was in Cell IV, it's still not a mistake for V to slip the note in the way he did.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: After Evey awakes at V's home for the first time after being knocked unconscious, she has a short exchange of dialog with V and then says she has to leave. After she says she is going home, V says, "Didn't you say they were looking for you?" Even though Evey had never mentioned it to him before and quite possibly couldn't have due to being unconscious.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: Contrary to what the opening historical flashback denotes, Guy Fawkes did not resist arrest but simply surrendered to the Parliament guards upon being discovered with the gunpowder barrels. Likewise he avoided being successfully hanged by jumping off the gallows platform after his rope had been fitted so his neck broke and he instantly died.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: When Evey is being led into V's torture cell, she is being supported by two persons, one on each shoulder. Assuming one is V, the identity/existence of the assistant is never mentioned/revealed, and the movie implies V works alone. It is acknowledged that the two-person carry perhaps keeps the audience in suspense as to the identity of the kidnapper, and actually improved the movie in that regard (being carried by one and only one person might have been a clue as to V being the kidnapper).
Correction: The movie never implies V works entirely alone. In fact, it shows just the opposite when V requests Evey's assistance on several occasions. It's logical enough the V could have employed the assistance of someone else (perhaps another person who V saved) to help carry out Evey's "cleansing." This was probably the same person who cut her hair, since she is in a fully lit room at the time.

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie when chief inspector Finch is looking out his window in the morning he mutters "It's your big day, are you ready for it." However, that morning was November the fourth, not the fifth.(v was planning his revolution on the fifth.
Correction: This is worded as a question, not as a mistake, so here's the answer: Evey saved the note (there was only one note, Evey just reread it numerous times and the film revealed its story intermittently) in her toilet. V obviously did the same, where the water in the bowl would have protected it from the flames until V could retrieve it.
