Corrected entry: When Evey goes back to V's house to dance on November 4th, she still has the bruise and cut from being hit with the gun a year before.

Matt Lynch

Correction: She does not. She only has a scar.

Sereenie

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film V and Evie kiss. One can see that there is a mouth hole in the mask. After he gets in the final fight with the group of men with guns, he comes back to Evie. As he is on the ground there is a blood mark on the mask and one can see that the mouth hole is now closed.

Correction: It is just the angle of the shots that make it look closed.

Matt Lynch

Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, as Creedy and his men shoot V, V stumbles backwards as they shoot, and in one shot V's hat flies off, into his hand, yet in the very next shot it is back on.

Hamster

Correction: When he is crouching after being shot, you can see him putting it back on.

Matt Lynch

Corrected entry: The film seems to confuse England and Britain. Sutler and Prothero refer to England a lot when they're making national broadcasts, implying that England is now a separate country, but organisations still have British in front of them (e.g. British Television Network), implying that the UK is still united.

Correction: This is an utterly unfounded statement. The film never spells out the political situation in the country at the time, so the corrector has no way to state that this is just prejudice on the part of the characters (and indeed displays prejudice of their own by doing so).

Xofer

Corrected entry: Sutler is supposed to come to power in our future (after 2015), but in the scenes of the riots that take place at the time the police still wear tunics and no body armour - British police officers have worn body armour for some time now and haven't worn tunics except on formal occasions for years. These scenes appear to actually be stock news footage, but the anachronism is still glaring.

Correction: This is a created world not our world. I don't think the government is killing off hundreds of thousands of people like they show in the movie so why would their police wear the same uniform?

Corrected entry: V tells Evey that he had gotten the papers from from a woman named Valerie while he was in the camp. He leaves the camp after the 'accident' with the entire place in flames. How is it though, that he left there with the papers if the entire place, including his body, was in flames?

Correction: V never says that what is passed to Evey in the cell is the original letter. He must have read it several times and simply rewrote it by memory.

Tailkinker

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the film we see V put his mask on from his perspective. There are no screens in the eyeholes. Yet several times throughout the film we see that the mask has screens in both eyeholes.

Correction: The mask never had clothed eyeholes as shown when V took out the mask and smashed it on a mirror. It is likely V wears a black cloth mask over his head before putting his mask on.

Corrected entry: V is supposed to be solely responsible for Evey's entire interrogation process. However, in the scene where Evey is getting her head shaved, it is quite visible under the transparent latex gloves that the hands belonging to the person holding the clippers are not discolored and burnt like V's which were visible earlier in the movie.

Correction: Since the room is brightly lit and she would've seen V's face or mask, it's likely he hired someone to shave her head.

Xofer

Corrected entry: John Hurt wears contact lenses to make his pupils look much bigger. You can see the edges of these coloured lenses when he's dead at the end of the movie.

Dr Wilson

Correction: So he wears contact lenses. So what? Contact lenses exist in the time frame of the film and people wear them for both corrective and cosmetic reasons. No reason at all why a character couldn't be seen to be wearing them.

Tailkinker

Audio problem: When V says that he has never danced to any of the songs on his jukebox, a song is playing in the background, yet there is no record seen playing on the jukebox. This occurs even after V presses the button to activate the song.

Trivia: In the scene where Evey gets her hair cut, it was Natalie Portman's real hair they cut. They had only one shot to capture that scene, and everybody was quite nervous if the scene would turn out usable.

Question: Was any explanation ever given for why V's signature flower was changed to the Scarlet Carson for the movie when in the graphic novel it's the Violet Carson (keeping in tone with his obsession with the letter V)? It doesn't seem to serve any plot significance so I'm rather puzzled why they felt a modification was necessary.

Answer: The Violet Carson is an uncommon rose, and the requirement to frequently require a rose in a state of perfect bloom meant that production crew were required to purchase hundreds of roses during the course of production. As such, they chose to go with a more common rose, the Grand Prix, which they renamed to the fictional Scarlet Carson to tie the name in to the original. There's also the point that the Violet Carson is named after a real person, a British actress who passed away in 1983. Her family might well not appreciate having her name prominently associated with a serial killer anti-hero in a major Hollywood movie.
