Deliberate mistake: In the scene where T& L are being pulled over for speeding, when they park, you see no protective rails on the side of the street they are on, but after they put the officer in the trunk and return to their car, on the passenger side, the rails are very visible.
Thelma and Louise (1991)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Brad Pitt, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Geena Davis
Visible crew/equipment: When Thelma and Louise follow the tank truck with the horny driver a crew car is reflected in the tank instead of Louise's convertible. (01:14:00)
Louise: Look, Thelma, you just gotta stop talking to people. You gotta stop being so open. We're fugitives now, all right? Let's start behaving like that.
Trivia: Struggling actor George Clooney auditioned five times for the part of JD before it went to another unknown actor (Pitt).
Question: Why does Harvey Keitel hold up his hand as he is chasing after Thelma and Louise at the end of the movie? I always felt he did it to keep the officers from shooting at them, but a friend of mine was saying he simply did it to try to get their attention so they wouldn't drive off the cliff. Any other opinions?

Chosen answer: It's just as you said; he was telling the others to hold their fire. He had no idea that they were going to drive off the cliff; his reaction was evidence of this.
