Continuity mistake: During the scene at the festival, note the guy with the long hair, round sunglasses, and a purple & gold silk indian shirt. 1st seen bottom left corner, when the camera pans to the actor's view. Then watch how many times he shows up. In front of, behind, just about everywhere. In fact on the day of filming, he was awarded 'extra' in most scenes.

Continuity mistake: In the scenes at the beginning where Willy Jack is in the car his shirt changes 3 times before he's finally pulled over with the 14 year old girl. It's all one day. (00:14:00)
Suggested correction: This is not entirely unusual. A person might change their shirt, more than once, if the weather is making them sweat. Especially if the car does not have AC. Novalee said that Willy Jack bought the car very cheap, and there is a hole in the floor, so I would not be surprised if the AC was broken.
I second this. My husband owned a car that didn't have AC, and it was not unusual for him to change his shirt on hot days.
Continuity mistake: When Travolta is in the back of the Sno-Mobile truck with the kid, it shows them from the front looking out at the snow falling, and the kid crosses his arms. Then, it switches to a shot from behind and the kid suddenly has his arms at his sides, and crosses them again.
