Corrected entry: Wonder Woman says they can't fly commercially because Steve Trevor doesn't have a passport. Except the movie established that only Wonder Woman sees him as Steve Trevor. To the rest of the world he's still the man whose body Steve has inhabited, so there's no reason he can't use his passport.

Correction: In 1989, the earliest date I could find records for, only 3% of US citizens had passports. The overwhelming likelihood is that the real man doesn't have a passport, and given they've spent time in his apartment too, looking for clothes in a montage we didn't see every second of, they clearly also looked around for other relevant information/documents.

Corrected entry: When Diana and Steve take a fighter plane, the seats are side by side. In a real fighter plane the seats are one behind the other.

Aviator

Correction: The plane is an F111, which has the seats side-by-side.

Corrected entry: The movie's plot of a magic wishing stone seems to have been inspired by Gary K. Wolf's book Who Censored Roger Rabbit where a lantern granted wishes. Both though did/appear to be a great cost/reversal of fortune.

Rob245

Correction: Considering the story of Aladdin involves a magical object leading to wishes being granted, connecting it to a specific book is a stretch. It's been a storytelling device for hundreds of years, if not longer.

Corrected entry: The jocks who are recklessly driving their Trans-Am causing Wonder Woman to give them the Big Boot are also driving a car in Virginia without the required front license plate. (00:11:30)

Correction: That's not a mistake (factual or otherwise). Some people choose not to. One time I bought a new car that didn't have a front plate holder (the holes weren't drilled in) and the dealership told me when I get my plates I can come back and they'll install it for me. I never did and drove it for 10 years without front plates in a state that requires it.

Factual error: When Diana first brings Steve into the DC Metro, the modern-day signage visible inside L'Enfant Plaza Station is not era-appropriate to 1984. It includes markers for the Green Line (opened in 1991) and Silver Line (opened in 2014), and all markers are shown with printed abbreviations, which were not added until the Silver Line opened.

Diana Prince: Nothing good is born from lies. And greatness is not what you think.

Trivia: Panning around Diana's apartment, the camera briefly lingers on a photo of her with an elderly lady, with no elaboration of its significance. But look closely and you'll realise the woman in the photo is Etta from the first movie, again played by Lucy Davis, just made up to look 67 years older.

More trivia for Wonder Woman 1984

Question: Why did Diana destroy the mall's security cameras, and why did she want the little girl to stay quiet?

Answer: At this point in time, her gig as a superhero is not public knowledge, and she wants it to stay that way.

Phaneron

How would that accomplish anything considering there were many people in the mall who saw what happened?

It really wouldn't, but then again, the writers didn't put much thought into this movie.

Phaneron

As the other answer indicated, Diana/Wonder Woman wasn't yet known publicly as a super-hero. A video recording is different from eye-witness accounts of what people actually saw or believe they saw. Memories are faulty, they fade, and everyone sees and remembers things differently. Regarding the child, I interpreted it as Diana just motioning in a friendly way for the rather precocious girl to stay put, behave, and quietly wait for her mother.

raywest

In my opinion, it wouldn't, and it's just another example of the shoddy writing in this film.

Answer: This was long before the age of superheroes, when everything was normal and meta-humans were just theories in a lab. It was her appearances which stated it all. Remember the tagline, "The Dawn of Justice Begins with Her."
