Factual error: When Willie's wife drives Jerry to Indiantown to meet up with Willie, she mentions that they are entering the town and he asks if that is where Willie is from. The camera pans to a local house. There are 3 vehicles in the background: a 7th generation Nissan Maxima, which was not released until 2009; a 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro facelift, which was not until 2014; and a naughties American SUV. According to the movie, that scene is supposed to be circa 1995. (01:26:09)
Character mistake: Mama says to Jeremiah, "Does Willie ever tell you he's one of 11 siblings?" Jeremiah replies, "I have 13 children of my own." Willie Gary says, "Y'all have 26 kids between you," but 11 + 13 = 24. (01:26:42)
Continuity mistake: Willie Gary does not touch his napkin on the table, but the napkin is at various distances to his plate and at various angles. (00:42:20 - 00:45:00)
Character mistake: Educated, intelligent, lawyer Willie Gary tells Mame, "I have this reoccurring dream... [prosecuting a case against Johnnie Cochran]." It should be "recurring dream" - keeps happening repeatedly (over and over) as opposed to just happening again. (00:51:50)
Continuity mistake: In the airplane, Willie Gary uses his fingers to take fruit off his plate. His fork is parallel to the edge of the table and sits underneath the far side of his plate. Willie raises his hands and "talks with them" a lot, shows no indication of moving his fork, but his fork is perpendicular to the edge of the table and sits atop his napkin. (00:40:43)
Revealing mistake: The airplane windows on both sides of the aisle are solid white ovals, with no variations to indicate the airplane is moving in the sky. (00:40:30)
