Updated this week Continuity: In the scene where Faye and T.B. Player burst into the appliance store to announce the song was on the radio, watch the blue car behind them. It moves forward twice, depending on the camera shot.

Mistake Factual error: Several times during the film a Zildjian stencil logo can be seen on the bottom of a cymbal. Zildjian did not start applying logos until the 1970's.

Mistake Factual error: When the boys go to the radio show in CA, the DJ says to the listeners to keep Saturday and Sunday, August 20th and 21st [1964] open. The 20th and 21st of August 1964 were a Thursday and a Friday.

Mistake Continuity: After the band first plays at Villapiano's, the bartender lines up a row of bills in front of Steve Zahn. He then turns one $5 bill sideways, saying it's the band's bonus. When the scene cuts back and forth from the bartender's view to Steve Zahn's - the $5 bill appears and disappears a couple times as the point of view changes.
