• Near the beginning of the film, John hits his head on the glass of his dorm room window and cuts his forehead. The amount of blood changes a few times. - Nate

• Also there were 7-8 scenes where overhead microphones were visible - a couple of times over Alicia's head, once in the left corner of the screen. (Theatre)

• Just before the scene containing the Tupperware goof, there is a scene showing the babies pacifier. This style pacifier was not introduced until the very late 1970's. (Theatre) - Duegi

• At the podium, you see John has the handkerchief Alicia gave him in his suit pocket. But the distinctive embroidered flowers disappear during the speech.

• In the end, when everybody is setting pens on the table, they start doing it with one alignment that is not the same after several (four or five) pens. First, the pens are set pointing the near edge of the table, but then they are shown being set with the opposite position (getting near the center of the table). (Theatre) - Sebulba

• In the car chase scene, Ed Harris fires a Colt .45 semi-auto handgun about 11-12 times without reloading. The gun he's shooting holds seven in the magazine and one in the chamber, for a total of eight...but as we later learn that Harris' character is a product of Nash's delusion, it doesn't matter! (DVD) - Kieth Moreland

• Just an observation. In one scene, John Nash (Russell Crowe) teaches a math class in his T-shirt. For a nerdy math professor, Nash sure had some big arms and pecs!!!! When did he get to the gym? - katman

Commented Goofs

• The style of a burnt orange Tupperware bowl that John's wife is holding in their kitchen was not made yet in that year. (Tupperware introduced that style in the mid-70's I believe).
  • Comment: A grand movie! But I believe the Tupperware in one scene came out much later. Responses? Ron Howard did a fantastic job. - niely

• When Alicia comes to see John in his office for the first time, she is escorted in by an army MP and comments that he must be very important. If the military thing was part of his delusion, why are there MP's outside his office. (Theatre) - geebo
  • Comment: I don't think that the war stuff was part of his imagination. Big brother was and anything having to do with him. If you'll remember the first time he went to help crack the code, when he asked about "Big Brother" in the window the other men didn't respond. I think the MP might have been part of his real life work. - CJ1017
  • Comment: My interpretation is that he did do some work for the military thus an MP escort might be real. His own friends commented on his trips to the Pentagon. However, he started having illusions regarding the conspiracy and espionage. - katman
