Sammo

Revealing mistake: When Paolo tells Patrizia "I do have something on my father", you can plainly see the separation between the frowned forehead of Jared Leto and his "bald cap" prosthetics. (01:15:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Patrizia is told by Domenico "You have a natural advantage, you are not a Gucci", her hands are down and separated, and then immediately in the next shot up and joined. (01:11:35)

Sammo ★

Factual error: In the audience of the Versace show in 1983, there's a shot in the crowd showing someone portraying Karl Lagerfeld, in company of his iconic cat. Lagerfeld wasn't known for carrying felines around during that part of his career. (01:09:00)

Sammo ★

Factual error: At the Versace fashion show set in 1983, the photographers are using cameras with modern flashes installed, complete with LCD displays. (01:08:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Rodolfo verbally eviscerates Paolo who presented him his sketches. Then he adds "Oh no, forgive me." As he does that, his eyeglasses switch hands. (00:55:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Aldo is having lunch with Maurizio and Patrizia at the country house. He says "I love this place", cigar in hand. Puts the hand down, but the hand is up in the following shot. (00:45:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Paolo shrugs at his father sniping at his fashion taste saying "Ehh, it's chic", his arm is lowered in one shot, up in the next. (00:36:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Aldo after the birthday toast tells Patrizia that the Gucci were saddle-makers. His son in the wide angle claps his hands together, nothing in them. Closer angle, and he conjured smokes and a lighter. (00:35:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Aldo invites Maurizio to play a heated game of calcio fiorentino at the villa, the people lounging in the background change position between shots. (00:34:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: During Aldo's phone call to the newlyweds, above the washing machine there's a bottle of "Omino Bianco" laundry detergent. It's an Italian brand that in the 80s was exclusively an additive bleach in powder form, the one in the movie is the modern liquid detergent version. (00:33:30)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Aldo tells Rodolfo to reconcile with his son, saying "Sunday is my birthday." Aldo Gucci was born on May 26th, which was not a Sunday in 1980 nor 1981, which is when the scene would take place. (00:31:30)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Rodolfo's brother Aldo has a real knack for business, since he comes with a business proposition to sell Gucci products at the Gotemba Mall in Japan in 1980, when the mall opened in the year 2000. (00:29:50)

Sammo ★

Factual error: During the wedding scene and in other rare moments Lady Gaga and Adam Driver speak actual Italian (let's not get into the logic of the fact that they speak throughout the whole movie with 'English with Italian accent' in Italy, especially when it is pure pantomime like Leto's), but they are not native speakers, their pronunciation is off. Al Pacino does worse when in the next scene he greets the housemaid Claudia with "Buonasera" (good evening) which the captions (and the rest of the dialogue, since he repeats the line in Englishalian too) translate as "Good Morning."

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Maurizio has a water fight with one of the truck drivers, above the logo of the fictitious company "Corriere F. Reggiani" on the window of the truck you can see the logo of "F.lli Zucchetto", (Zucchetto Brothers) the real company owning the truck, who organizes real life gatherings of vintage truck owners. (00:22:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Patrizia is having lunch with her future father-in-law at the historic Terrazza Gallia restaurant in Milan. She jumps nervously when he first addresses her; during this transition, the waiter who just tilted the bottle up is still pouring with the bottle tilted down in the second shot, and a waiter that was taking care of the table behind Lady Gaga disappears. (00:15:15)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Adam Driver and Lady Gaga are eating some street food in Piazza del Duomo in Milan after trying the expensive and historic Savini restaurant. The scene begins with in frame the sign of the jewelry store Currado, a brand established in the 90s and that opened that particular store in 2007. (00:12:00)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Lady Gaga is painting her toenails listening to some music on her portable cassette player. It's 1978, and walkman-type players were introduced the year after. (00:11:00)

Sammo ★

Factual error: When Patrizia is stalking Maurizio pretending to read some law book from the university, she's leaning against a shelf that sports a grey book by the title "Formazione; I metodi." On the book, you can see the logo of the publisher, Raffaello Cortina Editore, founded in 1980. The scene is set in 1978 (the book is from 2014, incidentally, and the scene was shot at the Cortina bookstore). Another even more obviously anachronistic book is next to Maurizio on the lower shelf; about the regulations of the European Union, which didn't exist at the time. (00:08:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The confetti in Linnet and Simon's hair changes position before and after Jackie makes her entrance at the wedding party. (00:25:55)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The movie takes place in 1937: the new and improved Salome Otterbourne of this version has a repertoire of blues songs that are a few years posterior to that date, many years if we count the Rosetta Tharpe versions actually used in the movie. An argument can be made that they are all 'live performances' from a fictional character regardless of the vocalist who actually performed, and so the only song truly 'impossible' in 1937 would be "Shout sister shout", written in 1941, but we don't actually see Salome sing it. She does perform "Up Above My Head" and no recorded version of it exist before 1941, but it comes from a traditional gospel song.
