Goofs

As Scottie drives to get Wendy from the police station, her car is missing the rear license plate. When she pulls up to the parking, the license plate is back.

The Sunrise Times in Wendy's calendar are increasing in February, but they should decrease, because the days start earlier in summer.

Wendy says her script is 427 pages. A ream, or 500 sheets of unused 80 gsm printing paper in a pack is two inches thick and off the pack once written on, it is even thicker. Wendy's single sided script looks just over an inch thick.

When Audrey is watching the VHS cassette of home movies about her and Wendy, they are being properly displayed in widescreen 16:9 format on a modern widescreen television. Home movies on VHS would be in a 4:3 aspect ratio natively. While some televisions can automatically convert, it would chop off the top and bottom of the image noticeably.

As Wendy walks, there is a road sign that says "Middleton City 2, Bakersfield 76, Los Angeles 230." There is no such place as Middleton City and the distance from Bakersfield to Los Angeles is 113 miles not the 154 miles (230 - 76) shown.

The bus supposedly drops Wendy off on I-5, but the road she is on is only a two lane highway with a bus stop on it. Interstates are four or more lane divided highways with no bus stops on them. It would also be illegal to dump a person on the side of an interstate.

When Wendy is looking for the bus to take her from San Francisco to Los Angeles, she is told to go to the Transbay Terminal on the other side of Market Street. However, when she crosses Market Street, she goes from the south side of the street to the north side of the street, which is the wrong direction to get to the Transbay Terminal, which is located south of Market Street.

When Wendy is saying how to go to work, she says go down Page Street and turn on Buchanan Street. This is in the Lower Height neighborhood, but the shot with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background is in the Marina District. Buchanan Street does go to Market Street, but the shot they use is closer to downtown. The next shot of her getting on the bus is nowhere near Market Street. There is also no bus that goes from Market Street to Stonestown Galleria. Wendy would have to transfer.

When Wendy asks the mailroom overseer if he knows who she is, he says "No", so Wendy quickly puts her envelope in the mailbox with all of the other script submissions. While clever -- and also the basis for an old joke about a student inserting their final exam among a stack of exam papers -- her package would have been easily found. Since she hand delivered her envelope, hers would have been the only one with neither postage stamps nor postmark.

While very dramatic, the bus driver would face suspension and probably termination for forcing a special needs woman off her bus in the middle of nowhere as was done to Wendy. The bus driver would know better and would not jeopardize her job, plus the risk of scandal and possibly criminal charges if the action became public knowledge.
