Updated recently Factual error: When Josh Brolin is leaning against the guard wall outside the motel, there is a Carl's Jr. visible in the background. Carl's Jr. did not open stores in Texas until several years after the movie is set. Submitted by wizard_of_gore

Updated recently Continuity: In the scene where Llewelyn is talking to the woman beside the pool at the Sands Motel, his gun satchel is by his side. During the cutaway shots back and forth between Llewelyn and the woman, the gun satchel disappears for one shot and then reappears for the final shot.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene at the motel where Chigurh kills three men, he goes to sit on the bed where he removes his socks. In the background one of the 'dead' men opens his eyes and looks around.

Mistake Revealing: Worst rubber 'dead dog' ever. Shot in mid air, it's stiff as a board as soon as it hits the ground. (Time) Submitted by John W Rosa

Mistake Factual error: At the very end of the movie, right before Javier Bardem is in the car accident, there is a shot out the driver's side window, past his face. In one of the driveways he is passing, a new Subaru Forester sits parked. The film is set in 1980.

Mistake Continuity: When Chigurh places his handcuffs around the police officer's neck to choke him, the handcuffs are more like manacles and contain 7 or 8 links between the cuffs. When he goes to wash the blood off of his wrists and drops the handcuffs in the sink, they are much smaller, containing only 3 links between the cuffs. (Time)

Mistake Factual error: The glass milk jar in the Moss trailer that various characters drink from is labeled Promised Land Dairy. Although the movie is set in and around 1980, Promised Land Dairy didn't start producing milk products until around 1990 (http://www.promisedlanddairy.com/web-content/Our%20History.html).

Mistake Factual error: At the motel where Brolin's character first hides the money in an air vent, and when the hitman arrives to look for him, a silver 1985-1990 era Dodge Aries is parked prominently in the parking lot, despite the film's events taking place in 1980. (Time) Submitted by John W Rosa

Mistake Continuity: When Harrelson visits Brolin in the hospital, the small white flowers to our right are in random conditions of wilting throughout the scene, starting quite down, then way up and everywhere in-between. (Time) Submitted by John W Rosa

Mistake Factual error: Despite the film's events taking place in 1980, several scenes feature a much newer 1986-1990 series Chevy Caprice (evidenced by the flush-mounted tail lights). The most obvious example is in the very first scene showing the rear of such a police car. (Time) Submitted by John W Rosa

Mistake Factual error: When Moss tells the border guard "I've got an overcoat on", a 1982+ Pontiac Grand Prix approaches behind him, though the film is set in June 1980. (Time) Submitted by John W Rosa

Mistake Continuity: Chagur is cut deeply on his wrists when choking the officer with his handcuffs at the beginning of the movie, but later when he is doctoring the wounds on his leg, his wrists are completely visible and there are no recent injuries.

Mistake Factual error: In the desert "drug deal gone bad" scene, the red Ford Bronco has a blue oval in the grill. Ford did not start using blue ovals in the F-series until 1981. The movie was set in early 1980, per Agnes' tombstone, and 1981-model production didn't begin until August 1980. Further, the truck shown is modified, battered and rusty - certainly aged and well-used.
