Other mistake: When Skip emerges from the box where he has been locked up for five days, he has no more than about one day's stubble on his unshaven face.
Stir Crazy (1980)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Sidney Poitier
Starring: Gene Wilder, JoBeth Williams, Richard Pryor, Georg Stanford Brown
Factual error: At the end of the movie, they break out of prison and their lawyer finds them at the hangar. She tells them they are free and they celebrate and get in the car and drive off. Innocent or not, they broke out of prison. I highly doubt red tape would allow an official to say, "Oh well, never mind, we were gonna release them anyway." (01:46:25)
Skip Donahue: We tried to teach him charades! He didn't get it! He just didn't get it.
Trivia: The prison scenes were filmed inside a real prison. The warden of the prison agreed to the use of the prison for the movie if 1/3 of the money was used to improve the prison. Richard Pryor talks about his experiences behind the scenes on his Here And Now DVD.
Question: Why did all the bank patrons look annoyed when the bank robbers used the jingle that Harry and Skip used?
Answer: The robbers' performance was poorly done and unrehearsed as opposed to Skip and Harry's performance from earlier in the film, which was enjoyed and even applauded by the bank customers.
