After Ed spills his coffee over his shirt the stains on his shirt vanish without trace when he talks to Erin. See more...
In the diner when you see the real Erin Brockovich (the waitress), you can also see the real Ed Masry. He is sitting directly behind Julia Roberts and her baby. Another side note, look at the real Erin Brockovich's name-badge, it says Julia. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
Before Erin gets her $2m cheque she takes an address from someone on the phone. We hear the pen scratching over the paper, but when the camera angle changes she has no pen in her hand. [There is actually no pen scratching. Erin is not writing the information down; she's memorizing it just like she did all along. Remember when Kurt Potter's assistant Theresa tells Erin that she doesn't have phone numbers/addresses for some of her plaintiffs? Erin rattles them off from memory.]
In the scene where the car hits Julia Roberts, some extras start running away from the accident before the car even comes speeding by. [I've watched the scene 3 times, everything looks normal. There are 3 people running across the street but once they get across they walk normally again. After the crash, they react to it accordingly.]

The former PG&E employee tells her that he had shredded memos on bad test well readings with entry stamps from the PG&E headquarters. Memos with such entry stamps would have been at the headquarters, not at the subsidiary at Hinckley. [I think a better way of understanding this would be that he had shredded memos from headquaters about the bad test well readings and that the memos had entry stamps. When memos came from headquaters, the local office would have put an entry stamp on them.]
The scene where Erin Brockovich and Ed Mazry are in the court room where the judge makes the decision that their case can continue: after the judge makes his decision, Erin Brockovich and Ed Mazry start picking up their papers. Next to Ed Mazry's papers are a pair of glasses; Ed Mazry is wearing his glasses, Erin Brockovich doesn't wear glasses, and there was no one else sitting at that table... [There are people who need two pairs of glasses, one for distances and one for reading.]
In Erin's son's bedroom he has a poster for the movie Jurrasic Park, but Jurrasic Park had not even come out from when the movie Erin Brockovich was set. [Loads of people seem to think that the movie's set in the mid-80's, which just isn't the case. The events of the film took place in the early 90's (check out http://www.lawbuzz.com/famous_trials/erin_brockovich/erin_brockovich.htm), and so a Jurassic Park poster isn't at all out of place].
