• Jim K wonders if there was an error in the film "Road To Perdition" in its use of the Lone Ranger. Yes, this was definitely a badly researched error, or one in which they didn't care. What the young boy is reading is a Big Little Book of the Lone Ranger which began first on radio in 1933 (this was the first place it appeared - even Fran Striker's books didn't get published until 1939). I believe the Big Little Books of the Lone Ranger weren't published until the sixties, though that seems odd to me. The film takes place in 1931. (Theatre) - David Howell

• At the end of the film, a man standing in front of a big window gets shot from behind, splattering blood on the window. A moment later, the man is shown lying on the floor, but no blood is on the window at all. (Theatre) - big fan

• At the beginning of the movie, Michael Sullivan's wife tells little Michael that she will help him with his math homework later. She then bends down and gives him a kiss on the cheek. She had on very bright red lipstick, but it did not leave anything on his cheek. The movie is set in 1931, so kiss-off lipstick probably wasn't around yet. (Theatre) - Amy

• There is a scene where Michael Sullivan's two boys are in their room in bed, and the younger Michael is reading The Lone Ranger in bed with a flashlight. He turns the page, but he really turns several pages and keeps reading. The Lone Ranger is not a book where one would skip a few pages. (Theatre) - Amy

• In the scene where Michael Sullivan and the older man played by Paul Newman are playing a duet on the piano, the notes played aren't matched up with what they are hitting. They do not always hit the keys when the music plays either. Obviously they did not play the piano. (Theatre) - Amy

• While driving away from the bad guys with his son, Tom Hanks' moustache is shaped Adolph Hitler style, yet when he stops at a diner, the moustache has grown in length to the corners of his mouth. The time element is a few hours at best. - Jake

• (Revealing mistakes) When Michael and his son are on the way to Chicago in the car, the camera is on the son's face but in the back ground through the window you can plainly see the poles with the huge banks of lights for night games that you see at a football or baseball stadium. - Sal

• (Anachronisms) As Tom Hanks and his son are driving into Chicago, they drive across the LaSalle Street bridge over the Chicago river. In the background an elevated train goes by which is brand new steel coach style. In 1931 these trains were all brown and most were wood. - bullfighter
