Character mistake: During the fight in the double deuce where Wesley brings Jimmy in to take all the bouncers on, Jimmy takes on Wade, and Dalton comes to his rescue. Afterwards Wade says to Dalton 'same town new story', when in fact the line should have been, 'new town same story'.

Suggested correction: Wade said it that way on purpose. He was alluding to the idea that there is something different about this town's situation, compared with all the other towns where it was the same old situation.

Factual error: The car blows up in Mr Weasley's property towards the end of the movie and the guy touches the door to open it to check if Dalton is dead. The door would have been too hot to hold on to the door handle for more than a second without a burn. (01:41:35)

Continuity mistake: After the fight ends between Dalton and Jimmy, Jimmy is killed and kicked into the water. When Doc pulls Jimmy's body out and onto the sand, his eyes are wide open. Immediately after from a further camera angle, his eyes are closed before Doc attempts to close them.

Video

Continuity mistake: After Jimmy's body is fished out of the pond by Doc, his eyes are open, but they are closed in the next shot.

Revealing mistake: The story takes place in Missouri. In a brief scene just before the monster truck wreaks havoc at the car dealership, Patrick Swayze and Kelly Lynch are shown driving toward the camera. In the background, a highway sign shows "Ventura" and the highway number. It's a California sign.

Revealing mistake: When the monster truck takes out the auto dealership, you can see a road sign that says 'Los Angeles Bakersfield'. The movie takes place in Joplin, Missouri.

Factual error: Desert and mountain scenery is visible throughout the film despite being set in Missouri; there is no desert anywhere near Missouri, and its only mountains are the Ozarks, which are smaller and more rounded in appearance than those seen in this film.

Continuity mistake: When the 4 henchmen turn up to fight at the Double Deuce armed with a boot blade, 2 of the henchmen actors are completely different in the inside and outside shots in this scene.

Red Webster: Don't ever marry an ugly woman. Just sucks the life right out of you.

Trivia: During the fight scene between Jimmy and Dalton, Jimmy slams a log against Dalton's chest. The log you see here is a real one. Marshall Teague thought the log was a breakable prop and kept slamming it into Patrick Swayze's chest with each take. By the end, Swayze's chest was covered in bruises.
