Continuity mistake: When the train overtakes the cart you see in alternating shots either the cart on the road with clear field in between or, in an angle showing Rachel's and Samuel's faces, a built-up area with station and factory looking buildings. (00:08:50)

NancyFelix

Factual error: When Rachel and Samuel leave for Philadelphia by train the train overtakes Daniel's cart after quite a while. That's not possible since Daniel was still standing on the platform when the train left the station. (00:08:45)

NancyFelix

Visible crew/equipment: After the funeral service, Eli, Rachel, and Samuel go back home by carriage. When the carriage is shown from the front you see a reflection of a camera in the windshield in front of Eli's hat. (00:06:25)

NancyFelix

Plot hole: The way John confronts Samuel with the first suspect (throwing and pressing the guy against the side window of the car Samuel sits in) is plain ridiculous and certainly not the practice of a good cop like John. Later they have a proper confrontation with six more suspects. (00:20:00)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: During the barn raise you see the some men using ridiculously small nails to connect huge beams. (01:20:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the garage shooting John uses a white car for cover. This car is parked a bit diagonally, thus providing cover because McFee is attacking from the front. After the shooting the car is parked straight and closer to the wall. (00:30:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When John puts up Rachel and Samuel with his sisters they are shown to their bedroom. The sister goes down the stairs and says a few words to John before he leaves. When she comes back Rachel and Samuel have already changed into their nightgowns - not at all enough time for that. (00:21:15)

NancyFelix

Audio problem: When John milks the cow you hear the milk splashing into the bucket but you don't see any. (00:57:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During the car accident Miss Daisy is wearing a beige dress. Later she looks out of the window at the towing activities and is wearing a red dress. When Boolie argues with her about her driving she is wearing a green dress. This is happening within too short a time to explain all this unnecessary changing. (00:03:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On their first tour Miss Daisy shops at a place called Piggly Wiggly. When Hoke looks through the window into the shop you see the reflection of a street sign saying Wiggly (with a W) although in all other shots there is no street sign outside. (00:24:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy talks to Boolie about Hoke's alleged theft you see bright daylight outside, also in the scene before when Boolie has breakfast. In all shots taken outside Miss Daisy's home it is dark and foggy. (00:31:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: While Miss Daisy is waiting for Hoke to drive her to Mobile she looks impatiently at her watch which shows 10:50. A few shots later she looks at a wall clock which shows 6:57 which is also in line with the plot. (00:45:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy is packing for her trip to Mobile there is a blouse hanging over the suitcase lid while she is looking out of the window. When she comes back from the window the blouse is gone. (00:45:00)

NancyFelix

Audio problem: In one scene Miss Daisy is listening to the radio, but the HiFi sound isn't exactly what a small radio in the early 50's was able to deliver. (00:33:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the incident with the police on their way to Mobile there is a panorama shot of the cruising car with no Miss Daisy on the back seat. (00:53:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the reversing accident the car goes down a nearly vertical slope, but all close-up shots taken through the front window show that the car's position is still nearly horizontal. That's why Miss Daisy can get out without any problem, and that's why, after she has left the car, it falls down the same slope again. (00:01:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the reversing accident Miss Daisy is shown sitting in the car with some twigs in front of her face. While she was reversing the windows were closed, and they didn't break during the accident. (00:01:35)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When the car falls backwards into the neighbour's garden it doesn't touch the ground but bounces back a few inches before. It must have been held by a cable. (00:01:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy reverses the car down into the neighbor's garden, she hits the same flower pot twice. (00:01:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When George is talking to two elderly neighbors there is a mailman in the background dropping off a letter in a mailbox. A fraction of a second later he is already walking in the middle of the road. (00:32:50)
