Thelma and Louise (1991) - 18 mistakes
Directed by Ridley Scott, starring Brad Pitt, Geena Davis, Harvey Keitel, Susan Sarandon
Visible crew/equipment: When Thelma and Louise follow the tank truck with the horny driver a crew car is reflected in the tank instead of Louise's convertible. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Factual error: After JD steals Louise's money, Thelma decides to rectify the fact that they're broke by robbing a convenience store in Oklahoma. She holds the clerk at gunpoint, asks for all the cash, and then requests he hand over a bottle of booze. The problem is, due to the liquor laws in Oklahoma, one can only buy 3.2 beer and wine coolers at grocery stores and convenience stores, not "hard" alcohol.
Continuity: When Darryl and the police officers sit on the terrace the rain in the background keeps coming and going. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Continuity: J.D.'s hair turns dry between shots when he and Thelma fool around on the bed. In the following love scene his hairstyle changes several times. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Continuity: When Jimmy shows up at the Vagabond hotel it turns dark between shots. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Continuity: When J.D. asks Thelma for a ride his sunglasses move back and forth between his hand and the neck of his t-shirt. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Continuity: When Thelma and Louise are chased by the police across the dusty plains there's a aerial shot from behind where the ground is covered with tracks. When the camera changes to a closer angle from the front, the tracks are gone. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Visible crew/equipment: After Thelma went off the road to avoid the police convoy and waits at a stop sign there is a reflection of the boom mike moving around on the hood. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Visible crew/equipment: Louise's sunglasses reflect equipment in several scenes, for example the camera when they drive to Oklahoma, or stage lighting when the wait at the train crossing. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Factual error: As the Highway Patrol officer approaches T&L we see that there is a carrier for 12 rounds of ammo (obviously for a revolver most likely a .38 Spl or .357 magnum) on his gun belt. When he surrenders his weapon we find it is a semi-automatic pistol. The cartridges on his belt would not be compatible with a semi-automatic pistol which he was carrying.
Continuity: When Thelma and Louise lock up the policeman in the trunk they shoot two air holes in the lid. Later the policeman sticks his finger through a hole to point out to the bicyclist where Louise had thrown the keys (surprisingly he could tell from the rather feeble sound what that sound was and where the keys had landed), and the rim of the hole shows that the bullet was shot from inside.
