You Don't Know Jack (2010)

Goofs

You Don't Know Jack

Edit

Factual errors

Dr. Kevorkian's original death machine (using IV drugs) was called the Thanatron, not Mercitron. The Mercitron was the name of his carbon monoxide based death machine.
In the final ten minutes of the movie during Dr. Kevorkian's trial, the judge asks him while he stands at the podium, would he like to take the stand to argue in his defense. He sits down before responding to the judge, which the court would not have allowed.
It was stated by the prosecutor in the last trial that no other murder was witnessed on television since the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby. There have been murders on TV and on live TV in between those times.
Jack says ether was discovered around 1540. While it was was first created in a lab around then it discovered in the early 1200's.

Miscellaneous

Geoffrey Fieger's name is misspelled in the film credits as "Geoffery Fieger".

Anachronisms

Several of the police cars in the movie are shown with new LED lightbars. LED lightbars on emergency vehicles did not enter mainstream use until the mid-2000's, and certainly not in the 1990's or before.
About 5 minutes into the movie, Dr. Kevorkian is browsing through books in a library and the camera shows the book "How We Die" by Dr. Sherwin Nuland. This should have been around 1989-90 in Kevorkian's career. But, Dr. Nuland's book was first published in 1994.
In a scene that takes place prior to 1994, the camera pans to show a patient's personal artifacts and photos on the wall. Among these there is a postcard with the ocean liner Queen Mary 2, but in reality this ship did not exist until 2004.
Compact Florescent (CFL) light bulbs are visible in the kitchen at the lake house. These bulbs were not widely available in the period of time this film takes place.
At various times the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit can be seen, and on top of the tallest tower is the General Motors logo. The GM logo was not there until the 2004 renovation, after GM purchased it.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

When Dr. K is playing the flute, his fingers never moved like what the music was playing.

Character error

In the Channel 7 news report after the first patient passes away, the reporter refers to Lake Orion, and pronounces it like the constellation Orion (oh-rye-on). The correct pronunciation of the town is OR-ee-un.
