At 2:27 approximately, Meronym's cape is over her head then off on the next shot.
When the young teenage customer at Papa Song's squirts the white mayonnaise-looking condiment all over Yoona-939's back, he shoots it all up over her right shoulder, but when Yoona-939 turns around to punch him, all of the condiment is concentrated on the center of her back. It's no longer on her shoulder.
At the end of the movie, when Luisa meets Megan Sixsmith, the yellow envelope can be seen next to Megan's leg before Luisa hands it to her.
Frobisher shoots himself through the back of the head at an angle lined up with the wall of the bathtub, but the resulting splash of blood is located on the rim of the bathtub.
When Zachry looks for enemies in his family's hut, he holds the knife upside down. Several seconds afterwards, the knife faces up.
The calendar on Luisa Rey's wall reads September 1973, and it clearly shows that the 1st of the month was Friday; however, September 1st 1973 was Saturday.
Women wore Maori tattoos on the chin, not on the whole face like men did (as depicted when the black slave is being whipped).
In the credits, "Luisa Rey" is misspelled as "Louisa Rey" when Halle Berry's stunt double is credited.
At 1:39, it is impossible to stop the fall of a person attached to a rope without some kind of pulley.
Near the end of the movie, Luisa Rey holds a copy of the October 1, 1973, San Francisco Examiner issue. The articles under the main (fictitious) headline ("Oil Lobbyist Arrested...") and under another headline ("FBI questions...") appear to have identical text.
When Luisa Rey's Volkswagen Beetle is forced off the bridge, it hits the water nose-first, as if it were a front-engine car; however, as a rear-engine car, it should have hit the water nose-up.
At 49': there is blood on the wall but no trace of a bullet (should have been exiting the back of the head).
When Luisa Rey is run off of the bridge, the windshield and side window begin to crack in a spider web pattern. Car windshields are made from tempered safety glass. If and when a car window would start to fail, they instantly, completely shatter in to small squares.
At exactly 2:08'37, there is no damage to the front of the 4WD when it rammed the heavy front gate.
At the end, when the old man rises from telling his yarn, there are two moons in the sky -- one full, the other a crescent. Since moons reflect light from a nearby sun, the moons would both be crescents or both be full, even if the planet had two suns.
The 1849 slave trade contract that Ewing was bringing back to his Father in the states was unenforceable. The slave trade had been outlawed in the United States on January 1, 1808, the first date permitted by the Constitution. The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807). Slaves could no longer be imported into the United States. The slave trade was dead. Likewise, California was a "free state" where owning slaves was outlawed in 1849.
In the Luisa Rey Mystery, an "orange hand" DON'T WALK sign can be seen. These did not exist in 1973.
The 1973 Sixsmith says his niece is enrolled in Caius College Cambridge, but Caius did not admit women as fellows or students until 1979.
On the airplane carrying Isaac Sachs in the 1973 storyline, a newspaper is seen with the visible headlines, "PROP. 13 WINS BIG" and "Younger Wins - To Force Brown." Both California Prop. 13 and the gubernatorial race between Jerry Brown and Evelle J. Younger took place in 1978. The same newspaper appears again later, used to paper over the windows of the sweatshop where Luisa Rey and Joe Napier seek refuge from Bill Smoke.
Although the Luisa Rey/Isaac Sachs segment is announced as taking place in San Francisco in the year 1973, Sachs mentions to Luisa that his flight had been delayed by the Air Traffic Controllers' strike. That strike took place eight years later in 1981 during the Reagan administration.
The one-way "Van Ness Ave" in the film (filmed in Glasgow) does not at all look like the real Van Ness Avenue (which is a wide two-way avenue, with a center divider), nor is the Bay Bridge visible from Van Ness Ave, as it is shown at one point in the film.
The film depicts a nuclear power plant being constructed near San Francisco. Many commercial nuclear power plants have been proposed, built, and operated in the state of California. The plant shown in the film, though, resembles the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania, where a 1979 partial meltdown occurred in an event that greatly contributed to the end of nuclear power in the U.S.
A 'Fabricant' still functioning perfectly, gaining its 'exultion' cannot be a cheap source of protein to feed other 'Fabricants', certainly it is cheaper to engineer basic food (like the in-vitro lab synthesized meats some companies have been producing).
Frobisher refers to Sixsmith's hat as a "beat-up trilby," but the hat in question is actually a fedora.
One of Frobisher's narrated letters near the middle of the movie says "What had happened between Vyvyan and I transcended language." It should be "between Vyvyan and me" (especially coming from an educated Englishman of the 20th century).
The doctor is seen trying to remove the chain from the Englishman's neck; but the way the key is simply attached to the chain (and not going through the hole), it would be very easy to undo it by pulling on the knot.
When Autua is talking to Ewing he uses the word "I" to refer to himself, but towards the end he uses the word "me", which is grammatically correct but wrong for his command of English.
