Other: When Walt and Tork go into the barbershop, the barber gets up and puts on his barber jacket and zips it up. As the camera returns to the barber each time, the jacket zipper is at a different location.

Factual error: Walt's medical records contain an error - on the left side of the folder, his address is listed as "Detroit, CA" and it's correctly listed as "Detroit, MI" on the right side, although as pointed out in another entry, the house number is completely wrong in the medical records.

Continuity: When Tau is working under the rain, Walt is staring at him over his house. It's pouring heavily, but on the reflection of the window just behind him you can see the bluest sky.

Character mistake: The information on Walter's "patient information sheet" lists his address as 5962 Delco St but numerous shots indicate his house number is 238.

Factual error: Walt says he worked at the factory where his Gran Torino was built, and in fact installed the steering column on it. The Gran Torino in 1972 was built only at the Ford plant in Lorain, Ohio, at least two hours from Detroit, and Walt had been a long time resident of the Detroit neighborhood he lives in, as he stated he had seen its demise and an influx of immigrants. With other Ford factories being much closer, it's not likely he would commute that far. His pickup truck, in fact, was built in the Detroit area, and he much more likely would worked on it, instead of the Torino.

Continuity: At the end of the movie, Walt Kowalski draws a cigarette lighter out of his jacket with his right hand pretending it's a gun. He gets shot and dies with his arms extended outright. However, the lighter has magically changed to his left hand as Walt is seen from head down and on his back.

Continuity: While Eastwood talks with the priest at the bar he grabs a glass, raises his right arm and lowers his head towards the drink. From the angle behind his arm is down and the head is up, as if he wasn't holding anything.
