Continuity mistake: When Luz is talking to Jet on the phone for the first time, from the front she's fiddling with the phone cord with her left hand. When it cuts to the reverse, however, her hand is flat on the desk.

Factual error: When the boy is crying because he's made to ride a pony, the Texas flag is made wrong. The top star point is toward the red stripe instead of the white strip as it should be. In other scenes the flag is flown upside down - the white stripe should be on top.

Factual error: When Jett is supposedly drilling for oil, just before the gusher comes in, the equipment he is using is not a drilling rig, but a pump for an existing well already producing oil.

Factual error: When Angel (Sal Mineo) is being laid to rest, the Honor Guard folds the flag wrong, they do not tuck the end of flag inside.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Elizabeth Taylor calls everyone down for breakfast, then starts arguing with her sister-in-law, Rock Hudson is coming down the large staircase. Look up to the right, there is an obvious microphone.

Continuity mistake: When Sarge approaches the elderly Mexican man and his family at the boot in the diner, he picks him up from the booth, facing the camera, and turns to escort him towards the front doors. Jordan stops him, and Sarge confronts him about his grandchild at their booth. The camera cuts away to the young wife and child seated at the booth. When the camera cuts back to the confrontational scene between Jordan and Sarge, the elderly man is no longer standing with Sarge but is seated back in the booth.

Continuity mistake: When the Benedicts return home after the fight in the diner, Uncle Bawley is playing the organ, which is now on the left side of the room.

Revealing mistake: When Jordan and Jett go into the liquor storage room for Jordan to teach Jett a lesson for beating up Jordie, Jordan instead throws a large wine basket at the shelves of wine/alcohol. The shelves start to fall before the basket even hits them. (02:44:55)

Jett Rink: You sure do look pretty, Miss Leslie. Pert nigh good enough to eat.
