Deliberate mistake: After dropping Rick off at the set, we see Cliff driving his car back to the house to fix the antenna. View forward from inside the car, the rearview mirror is obviously missing. The next scene, outside with the car coming toward you, the rearview mirror magically reappears.

Answer: Yes, though the intention was not Tarantino's. What is onscreen is the trailer of the (real) 1970 film "C.C. and Company", which starred (as you might have guessed) Joe Namath and Ann-Margret. Said trailer showed their names twice, a stylistic choice that emphasized the film's stars, and Tarantino used the unaltered trailer in the film.
