Continuity: When the waitress at Dottie's seduces Butch, the degree of boob exposure varies depending on the camera angle (not only due to perspective).

Continuity: When the farmer hangs on to his car his elbow switches back and forth between inside and outside the car.
Continuity: When Phillip is pulled into the Ford, his socks, in which he has been running around all day, are remarkable white, but later, at the Friendly store, they are as dark grey as one would expect.
Continuity: When they are all in the trailer chasing Butch's car, the trailer shakes and smashes about, but when you see the view inside the trailer the passengers are not even moving or anything in the trailer moves.
Continuity: In the scene where Sally tries to put herself into Butch's shoes, the short ends of both Red's and his colleague's ties keep disappearing and reappearing.
Continuity: When Phillip walks away with his mom, the dollar bills keep falling out of his costume one by one at quite a distance from the dying Butch. However, when the camera cuts to Butch the bills strangely pile up on him.
Continuity: When Butch and Phillip reach the end of the tarred road they stop directly in front of a signpost. Towards the end of the scene there are some shots where the distance to the post is at least five meters, and also from the position of the steering wheel one can tell that the car has been moved in between.
Visible crew/equipment: When the driver of the truck explains the intercom system to his colleague, there's a reflection of a crew member with sunglasses at the bottom of the windshield.
Continuity: When Butch pulls up to stop after he punched Terry, Terry is holding his nose with one hand. When the camera angle changes he is holding both hands to his nose.
Visible crew/equipment: When Mack talks to Butch in the cornfield a crew member is reflected in the side of the car.
Factual error: One character refers to the mobile command post in the Airstream trailer as "high-tech", a phrase that wasn't around in 1963; "space-age" would have been more correct for the period.
Continuity: When Phillip is about to leave the Friendly store he is seen from behind with his arms hanging down. When the camera angle changes he is holding on to his booty.
Continuity: When Butch makes room by ramming the Ford into several police cars, the trusty vehicle survives this without any visible damage.
Continuity: When Butch sits at the counter at Dottie's, his left hand changes from pointing upwards and resting on the counter between shots, and when the camera looks across the counter his glass disappears.
Continuity: Towards the end of the movie the dollar bills Butch has stuck into the neck of Phillip's costume change positions or disappear completely between shots throughout the scene.
Continuity: When the trick-or-treaters come to the Perrys' door, Phillip's mom ushers her children back into the house. They obey immediately, but when the camera angle changes the girls are back where they were and leave again.
Other: When Butch steals the clothes and the Ford, Phillip pees for almost two minutes, which is OK for an elderly man with a malfunctioning prostate but not for a healthy 8-year old boy, not even after an overdose of RC Cola.
Continuity: After Phillip has tricked-and-treated the old lady she closes the screen door behind her. When the camera angle changes and he says thank you the screen is open again.
Continuity: When Sally and Red talk at the bonfire about Butch, Red is holding his coffee mug to his lips or in front of his chest in alternating shots.
Plot hole: There's a number of strange things about Butch's and Terry's escape: When the grid falls down the very loud noise passes unnoticed. After they climb down the tied bedsheets Butch pulls once and it comes down, although no-one tied it loose. And finally, their escape route ended within the prison walls, and they needed to kidnap the clerk, who had come back into the prison to get some papers, for the escape in his car, something which wasn't planable at all.
