Character mistake: When Charlie is making the come back against the guy in the bar, he only needed twenty but he actually gives 25. When Charlie asks how many so far a guy yells out 14, but he's actually at 19 at that point.

Factual error: When they are putting out the fire, Charlie belts out "I want two 2-1/2 inch lines from the pump to the fire and three 1-1/2 inch lines from the hydrant to the pump". This is backwards. No fire department would ever use three small handlines to supply an engine from a hydrant.
Charlie: What a waste of an opportunity. You have THIS in front of you, and all you can think of is 'Big Nose'?!
Trivia: This film is loosely inspired by a French play from the 1800's, "Cyrano de Bergerac." One of the many nods to the play is the fact that the lead character of this film ("C.D. Bales") has the same initials as the protagonist of the play.
