Continuity mistake: When Mickey gets into the '57 Chevy to "test drive" it, there is no gear shift lever on the steering column. The camera then shows him buckling his seat belt, and when it returns to the previous angle, there is that missing shift lever.

Factual error: When they're in the bar watching the football game, after Rudy made his bet - they're supposed to be watching Denver vs Kansas City. You can see that the uniforms are not of either team (even if it were throwback jerseys). When the guy runs into the end zone, you can see the mascot of the Sun Devils on the turf, as the colors of the uniform are that of the Arizona Sun Devils.
Jeff: Rudy, what the fuck is this? Rudy, this is a red car. Holy shit! A red chariot to take my ass straight to hell.
