Goofs Sir Robert "invents" the hypodermic needle, despite its having been invented decades earlier than the film's 1880 setting. The film doesn't say Sir Robert invented the hypodermic needle. It correctly says that Alexander Wood invented the modern hypodermic needle and syringe. However, it is true that this invention was made long before the date the film is set in. See more »
