Continuity: In the bed scene with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, after she says "you and Harry work on that, huh?", the shot changes and her arms magically change position, twice. (Time)

Continuity: In the last race of the movie (Daytona 500), the wheels on Cole's car are black. Yet, when he spins onto pit road, they are silver.

Factual error: When Nicole Kidman is giving Tom Cruise a Neurological exam she does what she says is called "The Vavinski sign" (running the back of a reflex hammer along foot sole). It is actually called the Babinski sign, a reflex that can be the indicator of brain or spinal cord damage. Big toe goes up and other toes spread = bad (or just ticklish). Nothing = okay. Toes go down = okay. Even professionals (note I'm not one) have trouble interpreting this one, and you cannot get accurate results by doing it on yourself, folks. (Time)

Audio problem: At the Daytona 500, Cole bumps the race leader (Wheeler, I believe) and says "Remember me?" His lips don't move.

Plot hole: In the final Daytona 500 there is a big wreck where Cole makes it through OK and thus he feels he can win the race. He is up to 9th place in no time. Why did NASCAR not put out a yellow flag for a 5+ car wreck in Turn 3?

Factual error: A Nascar driver can't go from the pits, to top speed, and pass 43 other cars in only three laps. The drivers get to top speed very quickly and they do not have an extra gear to shift into, like Cruise did when he decided to just run through all 43 cars to first place. Cruise manages this awesome feat at the end of the race. Amazing racing.

Continuity: During one of the races in the movie, Cole comes in the pits. It shows him coming down pit road going about 35 mph. A car pulls out in front of him a few spots before he reaches his own pit spot, he slams on his brakes, slides sideways, and the camera shows a wide shot of him hitting the wall on the pit road. When it shows his car hitting the wall (and Mark Martin's car) he has to be going at least 60 mph.

Factual error: At the begining of the movie when Tom Cruise is due to test the car, Randy Quaid says that his driver has come from single seaters, when Tom Cruise arrives, he produces an open face helmet with peak and Microphone - a single seater driver would wear a full face helmet.

Factual error: I don't know many men who can jump out of a 150 degree race car after 500 miles, not have anything to drink and immediately have a 100 yd footrace with their crew chief. No matter how many drinks of water a driver might receive, he is physically and mentally exhausted after driving 500 miles at around 200 mph inside a 120°F-140°F racecar which he has used to dance around within a tightly packed group of cars.
