Trivia

When Wyatt, Billy and George Hanson enter the diner, all the people in the diner were local inhabitants of that town - none of them were actors. Same for the two rednecks who shoot Wyatt and Billy from their truck, at the end of the film - they weren't actors and that was their pickup truck. See more...

Mistake Continuity: In the early part when Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper are getting their choppers ready, the film clip was reversed. You can tell because the American flag on Fonda's jacket has the stars on the right shoulder, not the left like the rest of the movie.

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning of the redneck cafe scene, George is seen entering wearing his helmet and he can be seen in a mirror to be sitting. When the camera switches to the guys' table, continuing the motion, George's helmet is sitting on the table.

Mistake Continuity: Billy and Wyatt and the two commune women are having a swim in a water basin. Wyatt is sitting on the rim, splashing his feet in the water, and 'his' girl starts swimming towards him. Then it cuts to a frontal close-up of her smiling at him, but you can still see his feet splashing in the background.

Mistake Continuity: When Peter Fonda takes off his watch, the band is shown to have a clasp on it, but when he places it on the ground it has turned into a twist-a-flex band.

Mistake Continuity: After Billy gets shot and Wyatt rides towards the pick-up it's sunny with trees casting shadows on the road when the camera shows the pick-up, but not when it shows Wyatt.

Mistake Continuity: When everyone is sitting down eating at the rancher's house, just as he's saying grace, the rancher takes his false teeth out and puts them in his pocket. In the very next scene they are back in and he's chewing again.

Mistake Revealing: When Wyatt, Billy, and the stranger they had just picked up are sitting at the campfire their shadows on the rock are not in any proper projection from the fire, plus, they are totally still.

Mistake Continuity: In the film's final scene, the pick-up truck is never visible on the road except when it is being shown in close-up; for instance, as the camera pulls back after Wyatt's bike explodes, it should be driving up the road but is nowhere in sight.

Mistake Continuity: In the LSD scene in the graveyard there are a few shots of Wyatt where the eye injury he received in the red-neck beating isn't there (like when he holds on to the statue and says 'I hate you so much').

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After they leave the commune Billy and Wyatt come to a small town. A band is marching, and in the tuba you see a nice refelection of the camera man.
