Across the Universe

Factual error: Although set in the 1960's, a modern UPS truck is seen just before the rooftop concert scene.

Factual error: After Jude gets arrested and comes back to Liverpool the shot of him walking across a bridge shows a train in the background. The train network in Liverpool wasn't established until the 1970's, and regardless, the train shown is a modern train which started to be used in about 2005. (01:47:00)
