Near the end of the film, in the diner, when Reggie Love is giving Reverend Roy the location of the senator's body. The camera switches back and forth between the two as they are talking. The ballcap Roy is wearing is backward, but in each scene, it is on a different place on his head. Low on forehead, high on forehead, and then back again. It's especially noticeable because of the amount of hair showing. See more...
In the movie, Reggie comments on Mark's Led Zepplin t-shirt, saying they were a great band. Mark accuses her of being one of those adults who pretends to like cool bands to get close to little punks like him. This parallels an incident where Brad Renfro was reading for the role of Mark, and a suit in the production office saw his Megadeath t-shirt and claimed to like that band, too. Renfro said the same thing to the producer that Mark eventually says to Reggie in the film. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
The attorney in the opening sequence waves around and eventually shoots himself with a Ruger SP-101 revolver. The police describe it as a Smith and Wesson. In the United States the police know the difference. If nothing else the brand is inscribed on the frames. [When do the police call it a Smith & Wesson? All I could find is when FBI Agent Lawrence Truman calls it a "cheap snub-nosed .38", there is no error here.]

While the boy is waiting in the hospital waiting area, a sleazy attorney harangues another patient sitting in a wheelchair, listing the patient's injuries and how much money he can sue for each one. One of the injuries the patient mentions is a broken collarbone, but his arm is not in a sling (necessary for broken collarbones) and when they leave the scene the patient is rolling his wheelchair with both arms (not possible with a broken collarbone). [One of my friends broke his collar bone twice playing hockey and never went in a sling. He even continued to use his arm - his dominant right - as usual and never mentioned feeling any pain.]
Reggie Love stated "the early Led Zeppelin albums are I, II, III and the untitled fourth album blah blah..." The first album is actually titled "Led Zeppelin", not I. [This is not a mistake. I have heard a lot of people refer to that album in that way. After all, the follow-ups are Led Zeppelin II-IV, It is natural to refer to it as Led Zeppelin I, regardless of the fact that the roman numeral I is not actually printed on the album jacket.]
At the beginning of the movie, when Romey Clifford is talking to Mark, he says something like: I grew up here and played in these woods and now I am gonna die here. Since "here" is Tennessee, why does Romey speak with a cajun accent? [Romy has a cajun accent because he is an attorney in New Orleans. It never says how long he has lived in "Nawlans" but people will pick up accents over time.]
