Factual error: In front of Woody's apartment, (supposed to be in Scranton, eastern Pennsylvania) you see a telephone pole with a PAT bus sign. Pat is the Pittsburgh system, in western Pennsylvania.

Other: At the start of the tournament, Big Earn steps beyond the foul line in his first frame.

Factual error: The US postal logo shown on the postbox was not used until after 1979.

Continuity: The napkin in Ishmael's collar gets bunched up when he punches Ernie, then immediately reverts to how it had been before the altercation.

Continuity: During the flashback to Roy's sendoff, his convertible had flush grilles set into the hood. During the rest of the movie, the car had a plain hood instead.

Continuity: At the tournament, there is a quick shot of Ishmael sitting beside Roy while Big Ern is bowling, long after Ishmael's brother took him home.

Continuity: When Roy Munson punches Ishmael in the face to keep the truckers from beating him up, he uses his right fake hand. How can he do this when he can't make a fist with it?

Continuity: When Munson is bowling at the beginning of the film he does the "splits" and the ball is spinning in 1 spot then the ball starts to roll again, in the next scene the ball is traveling at a higher speed than the scene before.

Factual error: Amish country is in central Pennsylvania, not Scranton area, 75 or so miles east.....

Factual error: The ball return the hustlers put Woody's hand in would NOT cut off or chew up his hand, maybe peel off a little skin....
