Across the Universe

Revealing mistake: Although set in the 1960's, the school bus lettering was Arial, a font not invented until 1983.

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Lucy tries to get into the building, she is blocked by police officers holding clubs straight ahead in front of them. The scene cuts to a roof shot, then back again, and Lucy tries again, but the clubs are missing, the cops just have their hands out in front of them.
