Corrected entry: During the whole movie, nobody has a Minnesota accent, especially Jjaks and Sam, who grew up there.

Melissa

Correction: Not all Minnesotan movies need to have that nasaly "Midwestern" accent found in movies like Fargo and Drop Dead Gorgeous. And Minnesotans don't really have an accent at all. I should know, I live there. There was really no reason to make it a point in this movie.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Jjaks and Sam fight, the gun Sam holds to Jjaks' head is different from the gun Jjaks knocks out of Sams hand to the floor. (00:37:55)

Correction: I think the 2nd gun is meant to be Jjaks'. It is the one we saw him rob the gas station with; and it looks like it falls out of his waistband in the struggle.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Sam needs to use the phone booth and the old man won't let him, the payphone says USWest, which is not a phone company used in Minnesota. (01:01:15)

Melissa

Correction: Not today, it isn't, but in 1996 it was. US West later became QWest, in 2001 or 2002.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jjaks and Freddie escape and are driving in the red car, she opens the bottle of champagne and takes a drink with her right hand then hands it to Jjaks with the same right hand, but when the camera cuts to Jjaks, she is handing it with her left hand.

Questions

Question: What ever happens to the red car that Jjaks buys from the used car lot? He gets pulled over by the cop, and we never see the car again. Why wouldn't he go back to get the car to go to Las Vegas, instead of getting a ride from the bible salesman? After all, he bought it with cash, it's not like it was stolen or anything.

Melissa

Chosen answer: Yes, it does just vanish. It is understandable that we don't see it for the 2 remaining days of the main plot of the film. The car is impounded somewhere and Jjaks has a lot more to worry about than where the car is. He also has no money during those three days. A couple of possible explanations, excuses really : (1) the car was impounded by a private company, not the police, and Jjaks can't afford to get it back. (2) He did get it back. The Las Vegas scene happens 'several months later' and in that time Jjaks lost or sold the car.
