Goofs

It is not possible to surprise the court with newly instituted legal limits for toxic substances in the manner shown because it all has to be part of the discovery and thus disclosed to the plaintiffs in advance.

When Rob Bilott begins to sift through the dozens of boxes received in the discovery process from DuPont, he finds a greeting card and lots of dust. Parties in a law suit release *copies* of documents, not originals.

Being overworked Rob starts to shake and has a seizure with the right arm and leg jerking. This is later explained as a TIA (Transient ischaemic attack, temporary loss of blood circulation). A TIA presents itself with weakness, not with seizures. What Rob manifests is a Jacksonian or focal epileptic seizure. This is not a symptom of a TIA.

In 2000, after the meeting with Farmer Tennant, Phil Donnelly looks at his Blackberry (notifying him of the documents leaked) and the date says Tue Sept 24. September 24 was a Sunday in 2000. The 24th did not fall on a Tuesday until 2004.

In the montage before 2015, a shot of a factory shows smoke going into the stack revealing a reversed shot.

During the sequence set in 2000, a document is shown that reads "In 2012..."

Recent model cars are seen in few scenes.

A nighttime shot of 2015 downtown Cincinnati shows a lit-up Ferris wheel. The SkyStar Wheel arrived in Cincinnati in 2018.

During one of the scenes set in 1998, a TV in the background is shown playing One Hundred (2010); that episode aired in 2007.

Early in the film, Rob is driving across a bridge, entering West Virginia. The bridge is actually the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge (also known as the "Big Mac Bridge" for its distinctive yellow arches) which crosses the Ohio River between Newport, Kentucky and downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.

Near the beginning, Carla asks Rob if he still deigns to eat with "us lowly associates." Deign is pronounced with a long A sound (it rhymes with reign), but she pronounces it like dean.
