Factual error: The movie's set in the late 90s, but a 2015 Lexus and Audi are visible behind a girl when they first arrive in LA. (01:23:00)
Factual error: In the famous "I did not hit her. Oh hi Mark" scene, it is depicted to have taken 68 tries to get right. It actually only took 32. (00:52:20)
Continuity mistake: When Tommy and Greg get into the limo to head to the premier, there are boxes of The Room merchandise and promotional material scatted all about in the limo and filling the driver side of the back seat. But in the shots after they drive past the theater, the seat is suddenly completely empty with all those boxes disappearing. They are also missing in several of the close ups of Tommy, then back in others. (01:20:15 - 01:21:00)
Greg Sestero: You are a fucking villain, you fucking Frankenstein-looking motherfucker. (01:16:15)
Trivia: After the credits, there is an additional scene where the real Tommy Wiseau plays a character Henry and comes up to James Franco playing Tommy Wiseau and they have a conversation together. (01:42:10)
Question: The producer in the restaurant scene, played by Judd Apatow, who rudely tells Tommy that he's never going to make it big - was he a real person? If so, did he ever see "The Room" and bump into Tommy since?

Answer: He was a fictional character. However, Apatow says he was playing a version of himself, though he didn't initially realise that when being cast. He claims he is not that bad in real life; his character is also an amalgam of other producers.
