There is absolutely no way that there would ever be a drug shortage in New York City. If that would ever happen then the DEA needs to pat themselves on the back until their hands break. [Although the movie does not do the best job of making this obvious, the drug shortage is artificial, created by the drug lords to raise prices. It is not a real shortage, but it does make it hard for people like Harry to get drugs. This comes across much clearer in the book.]
When Harry is in the car with his friend driving to Florida, his friend hits his right arm and he winces, but it is later seen that it is his left arm that has the infection from shooting up. His friend didn't hit him that hard, so there would be no reason for Harry to wince unless it was intended to be the hurt arm. [Tyrone does hit Harry hard enough to make him hit his left arm on the door.]
A recurring feature is the shot of blood carrying the drug of choice to the the brain, a sigh of bliss and the dilation of the pupils. Sadly, heroin - the drug of choice of several main characters - causes the pupils to contract rather than dilate. [Actually, the drug of choice is cocaine, is it not? So the dilated pupils are actually not a mistake...Even though they are constantly injecting the drug, this may lead people to think it's heroin but cocaine can be injected too.]
