Continuity mistake: When Davey Stone is running away from the police while singing, after he says, "But I'll give this old lady's melon's a squeeze.", he swings around a street pole. The garbage can lid he is riding on has no handle, but when he slides down the hill and jumps over the front of a snow plow, the lid has a handle.
Continuity mistake: About 35-40 minutes into the film, Jules and Jess are at the bus stop. Pinky's future in-laws drive by in the Jaguar with nothing in front of them. When the camera shot moves back as they enter the bend, another car has appeared in front of them.

Factual error: When Uma Thurman has just picked her mother up from work, after her mother's boyfriend doesn't show up, they are stopped at a red light. As they are sitting there, a tan late 90s (or later) Chevy Sedan comes across the intersection in front of them. This movie is set in the early to mid 80s.
Suggested correction: According to IMDB.com, the movie is set in 1987, not the early-mid 80's.
Factual error: When the engine is shut down in the plane, the altimeter is shown spinning down wildly, indicating that the plane is diving at a speed of over 2000 feet per second, which is approximately 1200 miles per hour. Assuming that the plane wouldn't disintegrate at that speed (which it would), judging from the altitude at which the engine was cut, it would have taken less than 3 seconds for the plane to hit the ground.
Factual error: The fake Rheya tries to kill herself by drinking liquid oxygen. The liquid shown is green, viscous, and foaming and looks a bit like the monster's body fluid in Alien. Liquid oxygen is colorless, non-viscous and doesn't produce sticky bubbles. (01:00:25)
