Factual error: The commentator is saying, "The last of the drivers are now in line and ready to go... they are holding position for this two and a half-mile course," when they are all over the place and not lined up in any way. (01:26:41)
Factual error: In the final scene of the movie Elvis and Shelley Fabares are driving in his sports car along a seaside highway outside of Miami Beach. There are mountains along the coast in the background. There are no mountains in Florida.
Continuity mistake: When Scott pulls into the gas station in beginning of movie the sign reads Heyward Oil but at the end of the movie when we see his drivers license it reads Scott Hayward.
Duster Heyward: Now you tell me you're gonna go out in this boat tomorrow win, lose or draw. If this thing hangs together that you've gone ahead and proved somethin'?
Scott Heyward: That's right.
Duster Heyward: Then let me tell you, boy, whether you do or whether you don't, I want you to know that I'm as proud of you as any father who's ever set foot on this here God's green earth.
