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: Whenever Charlie, Patrick, and Sam go through the tunnel into the city, you can see "Consol Center" on the road sign. The Pittsburgh Consol Center was built in 2008, but this movie's set in the 90s.

Trivia: When Brad was telling his friends he got jumped by some kids, Patrick asked, "Where, Schenley Park? Patrick asked Brad's friends, "Do you guys know about Schenley Park?" People who are not familiar with the park may not know if his implied reference to homosexual activity was true. Schenley has been long-recognized as a gay "hook-up" place. Gay male prostitutes "cruise" around the park. Some men drive around with their car door OPEN - anyone can jump in to hook-up. It's also a joggers' park. (01:10:57)
