Deliberate mistake: Earl attended the "2005 National Daylily Convention." The wording is not accurate, perhaps for purposes of brevity. There is no "National Daylily Society", but there is an "American Daylily Society." Likewise, there is no "National Daylily Convention", but there is a "National Convention for the Daylily Society." (Incidentally, the dates for 2022 are/were July 6 - 9). (00:03:43)
The Mule (2018)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Patrick L. Reyes
Continuity mistake: Earl shoved the stacks of $100 bills back into the envelope and appeared to put the envelope back into the console with his right hand, but when the camera shifted, Earl was holding the envelope in his left hand with the stacks of $100 bills partially pulled out again. Earl put the envelope of money into the console a second time, but with his left hand. (00:36:05)
Earl Stone: Yeah next time you see me, I'll be texting my brains out.
Trivia: "Tata" (Spanish) translates to dad or daddy. Leo Sharp, the real 90-year-old drug mule working for the Sinaloa Cartel, as well as Earl Stone [Clint Eastwood] in the movie, were called "El Tata." In some languages, "tata" translates to Grandpa.
