Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Col. Hans Landa claims the Bubonic Plague was caused by rats. However the plague was caused by fleas on the rats, not the rats themselves. Despite this, at the time it was largely believed rats were the cause so it is correct for Landa’s character to be mistaken.

Goofs: Factual errors: Early in the movie, we see an archway at the entrance to the Christian high school with a slogan/quotation on it, which reads, “With man this is possible, but with God all things are possible.” This is a misquote of what Jesus says in Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” and Luke 18:27, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”

“In 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed “The Prawns,” appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa.

But the word he uses for “white man” is the Kiswahili word “mzungu”. Kiswahili is widely spoken in East Africa, but not in South Africa or Nigeria.

Trivia: Scenes of Dave Toschi and Robert Graysmith watching Dirty Harry (1971) were filmed inside the Mann National Theatre in Westwood, CA. The garish color schemes of the movie theater were not added by the art department. The very retro interiors of the theater have remained unchanged since 1969, when the National was first built. Interestingly, “Zodiac” played at the Mann National Theatre in mid March of 2007. Thus, moviegoers watched other moviegoers occupy their seats – on the National’s trademark large screen. The theater has since been torn down.

Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the store there is a calendar behind the desk that indicates it is February 1980. However, as Graysmith is entering the store, the caption says it is Dec. 20, 1983. The prominent out-of-date calendar may just be a way of showing that the store that Allen works in is a sleepy place where they’ve forgotten to change the calendar for four years.
