Deliberate mistake: There are no yellow/amber lights as Patrick drives Sam and Charlie through the tunnel. Yellow/amber lights are present as soon as drivers enter the tunnel - a warning to slow down, as well as help drivers' eyes to adjust to the light level inside. I presume it was better to have all white lights while filming (and traffic was controlled). (00:27:33)
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Stephen Chbosky
Starring: Paul Rudd, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller
Factual error: In all of the cafeteria scenes, the food pyramid posters that can be seen on the walls are the updated 2011 versions, not the ones they would have had in 1991 and 1992.
More quotes from The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Trivia: Emma Watson Sam said, "[Bob's] still trying to shag that waitress from the Olive Garden." Emma is an English actor, but the movie is a semi-autobiography of writer Steven Chbosky and is set in a suburb of Pittsburgh, 1991-92 school year. "Shag" is NOT (and was not) commonly used in the U.S. to refer to having sex. "Shag" in the U.S. is more commonly known as referring to a type of carpet, haircut, or dancing. (00:12:13)
