Factual error: When Charlize Theron is driving to meet with her boss and the lawyers, she is surrounded by late model vehicles, specific to the era. But when she passes a side street, you can see a relatively new model police cruiser and other current vehicles.
Factual error: Close to the beginning of the film, Josey is seen filling her truck with gas. The stations sign is seen behind her in the distance with a price of $1.71 per gallon visible. In winter, 1989, US gas prices were in the range of $.90-$1 per gallon. According to the US department of Energy, Minnesota fuel prices did not reach that level until a brief period in April 2001, and then not again until April 2004.
