In the prologue, Nicholas Cage mentions his mailing address as the Maricopa County jail in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson is located in Pima County, not Maricopa. [He does not say Tuscon, Arizona. What he says to Ed about her fiance leaving her is: "You tell him I think he's a damn fool, Ed. You tell him I said so - H.I. McDunnough. And if he wants to discuss it he knows where to find me. In the Munroe County Maximum Security Correctional Facility for Men, State Farm Road Number Thirty-one; Tempe, Arizona.

When Nicolas Cage and John Goodman are wrestling in the trailer Goodman tries to get Cage off his back by rotating himself. The direction of rotation changes during the scene from clockwise to anticlockwise. [Isn't it possible that Goodman stopped and then started rotating Cage in a different direction? There is a scene in between the change in direction, with enough time given.]

In the scene where HI tries to steal a baby, one of the babies is crawling towards the crib. When it is first shown, the baby has nothing in his hand, but then the shot changes to under the bed and the baby is crawling with a rattle in his hand. [It's actually two different babies. The one without the rattle was the first he picked up, "Harry", and sat on the chair. That's the one crawling away from the chair (and away from the crib based on H.I.'s POV/angle). The one with the rattle on the crib was the second one he picked up (Garry) who he put on the floor and gave the rattle two. He looks towards the one that got off the chair (Harry) and then turns around trying to find Garry, who's now under the crib.]

As H.I. and Ed are racing to the town where the bank robbery is taking place, the vehicle they are in alternates between a police car (with siren and flashing lights) and a brown civilian sedan. [There are two separate cars going to the bank robbery: a police car and the brown car with HI and Ed. The explosion scene was the biker blowing up the police car before HI and Ed reach the town.]
