Revealing: As Bobby drives along the dirt roads at the start of the film, in one shot when the camera is filming inside the car, you can clearly see the gear is in park position yet the car is "driving."
Continuity: Between shots Grace goes from walking backwards to forwards, when meeting Bobby for the second time.
Continuity: When Grace is sitting at the edge of the cliff, talking to Bobby, in the wideshots you can see that there is no gun next to Jake on the rocks. The gun then appears when Bobby looks over at Jake and notices it.

Visible crew/equipment: When the shopkeeper shoots the second robber, as he flies backwards you can see a long black wire coming from out his shirt.
Revealing: When Bobby pushes Jake's dead body down the cliff, it's blatantly obvious it is a dummy. You can easily tell by the way the limbs move and flex about.
Continuity: When Bobby is arguing with Darrell, there are four red round sponge marks on the right wing of Bobby's car. As we change to Darell's POV, just after the close up of the 'for sale' sign, followed by Darrell telling Booby to leave 'before I call the sheriff who knows me', there is only one red round mark.
Visible crew/equipment: When Jake says "your just like your mama, always scared of things," the shadow of a boom mike is clearly cast on the wall behind Grace.

Continuity: As Darrell is threatening to scratch Bobby's mustang with his crobar, the small round sponge sitting on the bonnet keeps moving location.

Continuity: When the Sheriff pulls up there is a shot from inside his car showing that the rear window is wound down nearly all the way. As he drives away, the rear window is fully up.
Revealing: After the radiator hose breaks for the last time, Bobby opens his mouth to laugh and it is obvious that the teeth that are supposed to be missing have just been blacked out because he touches them with his tongue.
