Plot hole: When the mechanical bull ride first opens up, riders need to pay $2 per ride and sign a waiver that if they get hurt, the bar is not responsible. But later in the film, riders (especially Bud) now just jump on and take a ride without paying (or signing but even if only needing to sign once, the money part is still in question here). How is it suddenly free?
Urban Cowboy (1980)
1 plot hole
Directed by: James Bridges
Starring: John Travolta, Scott Glenn, Debra Winger, Madolyn Smith Osborne
Continuity mistake: The movie is supposed to have been filmed and taken place exclusively in Pasadena, TX, and MOST of it is. The trailer park that they live in, however, is NOT in Pasadena, or anywhere near there. There are several scenes where they show someone driving into the trailer park, and you can see mountains in the background. There aren't any mountains within hundreds of miles of Pasadena.
Trivia: Gilley's Night Club actually existed in Pasadena, Texas (was owned by Sherwood Cryer) Some scenes were also filmed at 2200 South Main St, and 2016 South Main St., in Houston, Texas.
