Continuity mistake: There is no radio antenna on Frank's car until they stop at an intersection. When it's said there's a radio in the car is the first and last time you can see an antenna.

Continuity mistake: When Hamer goes to the gun store and acquires all the guns, his car is parked in a different spot when he leaves. There is no bench to the front left when he enters the gun store. When he is leaving his old partner is sitting on a bench to the left front of the car. The sandbags and vegetable boxes are also positioned differently in relation to the car. (00:27:50)

Suggested correction: It just seems to be the angle of the shots that make it look different. But you definitely see the bench next to Frank's car when he closes the door to the gun shop, so that part of the mistake is wrong.

Continuity mistake: Hamer's pig goes back in the house through a front door that is ajar. After Gladie gives Hamer her shopping bag she opens a closed front door. (00:11:50)

Continuity mistake: When he squats down over the guy who got his brains beat in with a bat, his hands are resting near his knees. Then they change angles and he is holding wall with right hand. Then they quickly go back to original view and he has his hands the original way again.

Factual error: A plastic bucket is seen. Plastic buckets were invented in the 60s. (00:50:05)

Suggested correction: There's no plastic bucket seen. If you're referring to the bucket cops are using at the crime, there's a shot of the bucket on its side and you can tell there's a metal bottom.
