Factual error: Buster Franklin's bass player is playing a MusicMan StingRay bass, even though they didn't appear on the market until 1976. The guitar isn't from the fifties either, but I can't make out what it is. (02:12:30 - 02:14:50)

Running on Empty picture

Other mistake: When Danny fled from the FBI cars and went to his house to get Harry, the back door was ajar and the dog (Jomo?) was near the steps. There apparently was a dog/pet door near the bottom of the door, leaving no reason for the door to be ajar in the generally hot Florida temperatures. Right before the dog goes into the house with Danny's shoe, there is a flash of a hand that quickly went behind the door, but someone was there. (00:04:37)
