Corrected entry: Insider trivia mistake: There are a number of references to Sarah's aggressive divorce attorney, Ron Meshbesher, including showing his firm's real-life address. Ron Meshbesher is very well-known in Minnesota as an aggressive attorney for personal injury cases and litigation, but he's not a divorce attorney. (Note that Coen brothers are from Minnesota and film was shot in Minnesota; http://www.meshbesher.com/lawyers/ron-meshbesher).

Correction: Ron Meshbesher is not Judith's divorce attorney, but the criminal lawyer Larry hires for his brother. Judith's lawyer would hardly have sent his bill to Larry anyway. But Meshbesher's address on said bill is actually that of the real Meshbesher.

Continuity mistake: In the dream scene where Larry writes on the blackboard in front of the student audience, when Larry writes on the blackboard he writes the wrong formula "delta p = square root of <p>^2 - <p>^2". The bell rings, the students leave and you see Larry again in a close-up and above his shoulder you see the the first 2-squared moves from outside the bracket into the bracket. (01:06:35)
