Will Smith in Concussion (2015)

Goofs

Concussion

Edit

Factual errors

The film implies Cyril Wecht's prosecution was initiated to pressure Omalu to drop his research. Wecht was actually indicted three months before Omalu first published his findings.
While haloperidol (Haldol) can be given intramuscularly in the deltoid as pictured, virtually no doctor would inject it through a dirty shirt as Dr. Bailes does when he injects Mike Webster in his office. Also, most doctors with a fully equipped office would have a nurse administer the drug, and they most certainly would expose the area for injection and sanitize it before injecting.
When Prema looks in the mirror at the car following her, the car appears on the wrong side of the mirror.

Revealing mistakes

When Dr Omalu is looking for a CT Scan of Mike Webster, his assistant hands him an MRI Scan instead.
When Dr Omalu is looking for a CT Scan of Mike Webster, his assistant hands him a MRI Scan instead. On a CT Scan you see bone as white, and on a MRI you can't see bone.
The cars the doctors are driving are S class Mercedes Benz vehicles. When they are standing in the parking lot while it was raining, the vehicle model depicted on the upper left of the trunk states the cars are E350's.
When Andre Waters and Dave are arguing on the corner (shortly after Dave has left the NFL building); the same guy can be seen walking past them twice (from right to left on screen).

Anachronisms

Depicted in 2002, Dr. Omalu is seen driving a Mercedes Benz E350. This third generation E class was not available with the 3.5 liter V6 until 2006.

Errors in geography

Lodi, California is shown with numerous hills nearby, but the real Lodi is in the middle of the flat Central Valley.
