Anachronisms: During the segments of the film set during 1966, a reference to Jimi Hendrix is made and the song "The Wind Cries Mary" is played on the soundtrack. Hendrix wouldn't reach stardom until the summer of 1967 thanks to his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival and the release of his debut album
Are You Experienced?, which contains the aforementioned song, in August of 1967, the same month that the Pirate Radio ships were outlawed by the British Government. In the film the song is heard being played around Christmas time of 1966.
