Woody Harrelson in LBJ (2016)

Goofs

LBJ

Edit

Continuity

When Richard Russell and LBJ talk at the airplane plant, LBJ places one or both hands on Russell during the conversation but the location of his hands on Russell changes from angle to angle.
When the doorkeeper presents LBJ to the congress he has glasses walking out with LBJ. He also applauds LBJ. In the next shot he has no glasses and stands calm when LBJ passes him.

Factual errors

Historical quotes throughout the movie are edited to be more sensitive than the actual quotes were.
Nov. 23, 1963 was a rainy day in DC. Kennedy's Oval Office furnishings were removed in the rain. The depictions of a bright, sunny day, seen through the windows, is an error.
In different scenes when LBJ and Jackie Kennedy are together, they are nearly the same height. In scenes with LBJ and Bobby Kennedy, LBJ is just an inch or two taller than Bobby. In fact, Jackie Kennedy was 5'7" in height, while Bobby was 5'9". LBJ was 6'3" tall, and he would have been much taller than them. Even JFK was 6'0" tall, yet he and Lyndon are portrayed as nearly the same height in the movie. A quick glance at some historic photos, such as his swearing in with Jackie at his side, would reveal how inaccurate LBJ's height is portrayed in this movie.
During the Los Angeles Democratic Convention the slogan 'All the way with LBJ' is displayed. This slogan was used first in the 1964 campaign.
The Confederate Flag, especially as pictured, NEVER flew over Texas. Another version flew for four years during the war. In 1963 especially, the only flags flying over Love Field were the United States and the Texas flag This depiction was obviously done to create drama, tension, and conflict in the movie, but it is WRONG and creates division and conflict NOW, where there previously was none.

Miscellaneous

The subject of this film as depicted on the site for the movie indicates that it is "[T]he story of U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson from his young days in West Texas to the White House." However, there's not a single scene in this movie from LBJ's younger days in West Texas.
At approximately 41:24 into the movie, you can visibly see that Agent Youngblood's pants have split down the rear.

Anachronisms

When LBJ walks into the Oval Office for the first time after JFK's materials have been removed and replaced with his own, Johnson puts his hand on a bronze bust of JFK. That version of the bust was sculpted by Leo Cherne in 1964--after the time period depicted in this movie. A bust of JFK was presented to the White House in March 1962. It was somewhat larger, it included both Kennedy's head and his shoulders, it was gold in color, and it bore a gold-colored medallion on a sculpted wooden base.
A flyover shot, while LBJ is being driven to the U.S. Capitol to give his first major speech after assuming the Presidency in late November 1963, shows the National Mall, includes the Capitol building, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. In that shot we also see the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. The former museum opened in 1976, and the latter opened in 2004.
LBJ (Woody Harrelson) is shown carrying a carton of Edy's Ice Cream into the bedroom with packaging that was sold in 2016. The packaging has evolved over the years and would not have been the same in the Sixties.
