Deliberate mistake: When Barry is on the phone with Kent for the 2nd time (right before Barry invites Kent to the station), we see Dan (Alec Baldwin) in the booth trying to get Barry to hang up on Kent. Dan holds up a sign that says "dump HIM." Problem is, we are looking at a reflection of the sign, so the sign was actually written backwards, as a mirror image.
Talk Radio (1988)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Oliver Stone
Starring: John C. McGinley, Leslie Hope, Ellen Greene, Eric Bogosian
Genres: Drama
Visible crew/equipment: At the end, the helicopter filming the shots of Dallas is blatantly visible in one of the buildings.
Trivia: On the second night of the show, Kent calls back. He chats with Barry, then asks to come to the station. The very next caller is a guy named Joe, who says that Kent "needs a good bust in the chops." Joe also threatens to come to the station with harmful intent. Both callers are portrayed by the same actor.
