details

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the 1937 world, the old man (Fuller) refers to World War I. There had been no World War II yet, thus World War I should have been referred to as "The Great War", but since the world was actually a simulation, this is just an error in the simulation. Many other anachronisms in the 1937 world can be similarly explained, such as the too-new money and a too-new police car.
  
  
• Continuity: The message left on Douglas Hall's answering machine clearly doesn't match the earlier scene where Fuller records it.
  
  
• Continuity: As Douglas Hall is getting ready to upload into the 1937 Los Angeles program for the first time, he is shown slipping off his shoes. However, when he "wakes up" and is back in his world, he is still wearing his shoes.
  
  

• Continuity: When Douglas is in the 1930 reality and in the pool of the hotel he grabs the revolver and he can be seen to check if it is cocked, which it already is. Then he places the barrel in the bartenders mouth and threatens to shoot him. The bartender pushes the barrel of the revolver out of his mouth and Douglas pushes it back in and re-cocks the already-cocked gun.
  
  
• Continuity: The length of "Tom Jones"'s cigarette in the lobby.
  
  
• Continuity: Tom Jones's cigarette jumps from his left hand to his right hand when he says, "Like the singer."
  
  

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: The front page of a newspaper shows the date as Monday, June 21, 2024; in the year 2024, June 21 will fall on a Friday, but since our world is just a simulation, and you can see this newspaper in the "real" world, it is possible that June 21, 2024 is a Monday.
