When the new CIA agents are target practicing, they are a shooting range that has a clear flat terrain behind it as far as the eye can see. That would never be the case. There is always a hill or some manmade elevation behind the targets to "catch" the bullets. Otherwise there'd be strays all over the place.
When Chuck Barris meets Penny Pacino, they drink Rolling Rock from clear bottles. Rolling Rock has always come in green bottles.
The same extras are used for different scenes. When Chuck is in the cinema you can see the same man as later in the audience with one of Chuck's quiz shows. This is likely deliberate, given the odd humor of the movie.
Many inaccuracies and anachronisms are probably deliberate, in keeping with the absurd, tongue-in-cheek nature of the storyline.
An FBI vehicle has the license plate #123 456, but this may represent the delusional mind of Barris.
The application for employment that Chuck fills out to be a page at NBC lists NBC's address with a ZIP code. ZIP codes were not in use until 1963.
In one scene labeled as taking place in Los Angeles, 1967, on a close up of Chuck's secretary, over her left shoulder, is the sheet music to Frank Mill's "Music Box Dancer", not written until 1974, and not a hit single until 1978.

When Chuck is pitching The Gong Show (1976) in 1977, someone is drinking from a mug with an NBC logo that shows a peacock over a stylized "N". This logo was used only from 1979 until 1986.

When Chuck and Penny are driving to California, a piece of equipment can be seen next to his head in the left side mirror.
When Barris and Byrd are in Mexico City (according to a caption), a Saguaro cactus in in the background. This type of cactus can only be found in the Sonoran Desert in the states of Arizona, USA and Sonora, Mexico and is rarely found growing at elevations over 4,000 feet. Mexico City is hundreds of miles southeast of there and at a 7,500 foot elevation.

Twice in the film Chuck lights a cigarette backwards (i.e. he lights the filter with the tip in his mouth.) The first time is in Chuck's office with him and his secretary (labeled as taking place in LA, 1967), and the second time is in a car with Chuck, Byrd, and Simon Oliver in Helsinki 1967. Also, in each of these scenes Chuck is smoking a different brand of cigarettes, though this may very well have been on purpose.
When Chuck Barris applies to work at NBC, the application says "National Broadcasting Corporation" rather than "National Broadcasting Company".
