Corrected entry: Key layouts on the many typewriters used throughout the movie have a QWERTY keyboard. However, German keyboards have QWERTZ layouts.

Valkyrie (2008)
Corrected entry: In a scene where Tom Cruise's character is attacked in the desert, right at the beginning of the film, textual information about the visual effects is visible in the lower left corner of the screen.
Correction: That is a fault with the theatre you viewed it in, the projectionist didn't frame the movie properly. A frame of film is square, but only a rectangular portion is shown - if the projector isn't set up properly the upper portion of the frame may be projected, which often contains microphones and other equipment which is of course never meant to be visible.

Valkyrie (2008)
Corrected entry: At the very end of the film as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is about to be shot by the firing squad, Werner von Haeften stands in the way of the shots. Realistically, the shots would have passed through Colonel Brandt's body into Colonel Stauffenberg's.
Correction: Except in reality they didn't, since Stauffenberg's execution was as it happened onscreen.

Corrected entry: In the scene where General Fromm states Stauffenberg must salute Hitler on leaving Fromm's office. The rear shot of Cruise before he does so shows him holding his hat under his arm, but it cuts to him turning to Fromm and saying Heil Hitler the hat is firmly on Cruise's head.
Correction: It simply isn't.

Corrected entry: Lost count at 21: the least number of times you can see a boom-mike in the upper part of a scene. Especially noticeable are a long brown mike and a round mike with a white circle of tape around it. One time, the long brown mike is hidden in a chandelier.
Correction: This is more than likely a fault with the theatre you watched the movie in, obviously the projectionist didn't frame the movie properly, I find it unlikely in the extreme that 21 instances of a boom mike would make their appearance in a modern movie such as this.

Correction: Utterly incorrect. Having watched the movie again, I saw three instances where you can see the typewriters and in every case they were 'QWERTZ' keyboards. Not a mistake.
