Factual error: When Sue starts losing her teeth, she pulls out incisor and canine teeth. These frontal teeth, however, have a single root apex, not two as it is depicted in the movie.

Trivia: Whenever we see Sue nude (which is quite often), her breasts are actually completely fake. Director Coralie Fargeat wanted Sue's figure to be very exaggerated and almost cartoonish, likening her body to Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." Actress Margaret Qualley thus had to wear prosthetics to enhance her figure, including a fake set of hyper-realistic large breasts. Qualley joked that the effects teams gave her "the rack of a lifetime... just not my lifetime."
Question: Although it's not officially stated or mentioned, the movie definitely takes place in Hollywood, Los Angeles. During the time-lapse sequence of Elizabeth's Walk of Fame star, there's a wintery part with snow covering the walkway. Is it realistic to depict snow in Southwest California, especially in LA?

Answer: It's rare, but it has occurred in Los Angeles and the surrounding area, particularly along Sunset Boulevard. However, according to online sources, the last time mentioned was 1949. Update: there was a report of light scattered snowfall in 2019.
