Other mistake: Right after Cohee tells us the story of how Alyssa got the nickname "Finger Cuffs", after the shot returns to Banky and Holden, there's one frame with a significant 'burn mark' on the right side of the negative. Pronounced enough even to be noticeable at regular viewing speed. (01:10:30)

Continuity mistake: At the end, when the fan at the convention gives the last issue of Bluntman And Chronic to Banky to sign, Banky looks through the book with his pen in his left hand. It cuts away, and then back again, and the pen is in his right hand. (01:44:20)

Visible crew/equipment: In the record store scene with Holden and Hooper talking about Holden's insecurities regarding Alyssa, Holden's (Ben Affleck) microphone is easily seen bulging in his shirt. (01:10:30)

Continuity mistake: During the dart scene, the customers who use the restrooms ignore the gender signs. (Most likely intentional, but worth a look). (00:14:20)

[After Banky pulls out a stack of porno magazines from his bag.]
Holden McNeil: Oh my God. Who are you, Larry fucking Flynt? What are you going to do with all of those?
Banky Edwards: Read the articles. What do you think I'm going to do with them? They're stroke books, stupid!
Holden McNeil: You've got like, thirty books there! We're only going to be gone for two days!
Banky Edwards: Variety's the spice of life. I like a wide selection. Sometimes I'm in the mood for nasty close-ups, sometimes I like them arty and air-brushed. Sometimes it's a spread brown-eye kind of night, sometimes it's girl-on-girl time. Sometimes a steamy letter will do it, sometimes - not often, but sometimes - I like the idea of a chick with a horse.
