In the relatively brief scene in which Jane Fonda is coming home from her first day at work, she walks up the outside stairs to her apartment only to find her ex-husband waiting at the top of the stairs. When we first see Jane ascending the stairs, there is no car sitting in the street behind/below her. But, after she sees her husband and greets him ("Dick!"), we see that the red car is parked down in the street with his new woman sitting in the passenger seat (so there is no way she was driving, circling the block or anything like that). The car would have had to have been there before. It "appears" out of nowhere. [The red car was there the whole time. The stairs to the apartment (which is on a corner) are two separate sets. When Judy's first walking up, we see one side of the street corner, but the view changes and we see the other side of the street corner and the red car is there.]

When Hart is first seen in his restricting attire (butch collar and all), Doralee says that she got rid of all of the razors "just in case." Even though Hart does not shave for weeks, we never see any stubble on him. [He used an electric razor, supervised by the women.]

The warning on the box of rat poison says "Caution: keep out of reach of small children." Any sort of poison would say "Danger" and have a much more serious warning. [There is no way to know what brand of pesticide this is. In addition, in the time period that this movie is set, product warning labels were MUCH more lax than they are today.]

In Lilly Tomlin's fantasy scene, she sticks the spoon (all the way up to its handle) into the poisoned coffee mug. When she takes out the spoon, only half of the bowl part of the spoon is eaten away. [Perhaps by dipping the spoon in so deep, the poisoned coffee started eating away at it upwards. Besides everything else, this IS a dream sequence, when logic is an aside.]
