Factual error: The movie is set in the early 70's (1971?), but during the start of the motorcycle race several of the bikes are obviously early 90's Honda CR's and Suzuki RM's. You can tell this from the disc brakes on the front wheels of the bikes and the 90's style plastic fenders and bike colors. Bikes in the 70's generally had metal fenders and definitely no front disc brakes.

Trivia
In the flashback scene where Johnny Depp is taking LSD in the bathroom of a 60's bar, a guy who is dressed like a hippy, walks in, asks what he's doing and starts to lick the LSD he had dropped in his red flannel shirt. That guy is none other than Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. See more...

Continuity: In the beginning of the film when they pick up the hitchhiker, after they drive off, the car is still in park.
Visible crew/equipment: When the duo first enter the Vortex (the indoor circus place) they stop to look at themselves in the wobbly mirrors. The mirror also reflects the cameraman filming the scene. The image is distorted and upside down but he's definitely there and becomes clearer as the shot progresses.
Continuity: After the Vegas Hotel check in, Duke bums a light off a dude in the bar. At first the cigarette is broken and lit, then the broken piece falls onto the ground during the bloody floor sequence. As he turns full circle in his chair, the cigarette is back to its broken state again, then after a shot cut, it appears to have lost its broken tip again, without any loss in cigarette size.
