Factual error: When Cruella first drives her iconic car, being in Britain the driver's seat should be on the right side, not the left.
Cruella (2021)
Directed by: Craig Gillespie
Starring: Emma Thompson, Emma Stone, Mark Strong, Paul Walter Hauser
Suggested correction: Cars can be imported from overseas. It's very possible the car was imported from America.
Continuity mistake: In the scene about the upcoming show the Baroness states she needs 12 key looks. She turns to count what she has and pulls down 10 looks that fill the board. When she turns back to face the staff she comments on the need for 10 looks.
Factual error: When Cruella as a child makes her way to London and crosses the zebra/pedestrian crossing, there are visible zig zag markings. These however were not introduced until 1971 in England, which is the time period when Cruella is older.
Trivia: Once the ending credits roll, there is an extra scene where Pongo and Perdita (the Dalmatians) are delivered to the lawyer Roger and reporter Anita respectively as gifts from Cruella. Roger sings the famous Cruella DeVille song from the original Disney movie.
Baroness: Let me give you some advice. You can't care about anyone. Everyone else is an obstacle. You care about what an obstacle wants or feels, you're dead. If I cared about anyone or thing, I might have died like so many brilliant women with a drawer full of unseen genius and a heart full of sad bitterness. You have the talent for your own label. Whether you have the killer instinct is the big question.
Horace: [As Artie punches one of the Baroness' guards in the face] I had him!
Artie: Did you, though?
Question: Why did the Baroness kill Estella's adoptive mother? Why not just give her money and whatever help she needed?
Answer: The Baroness probably thought that if she gave Estella's adoptive mother money and help that time, she would keep asking for more and more money under threat of revealing the secret that the Baroness was the girl's real mother. Killing her meant one less person who knew her secret and could hold it over her.
