Plot hole: The six-year-old girl (who actually looks a few years older) apparently had seen and remembered a tattoo on the robber's hand well enough to be able to relate the details of it to Meredith, who is then able to visually identify the tattoo on the robber's hand in a strip joint. Not really credible - especially as the woodpecker costumes covered up pretty well the entire body! (Also, the robbers were constantly moving, making visual inspection even more difficult).
Stir Crazy (1980)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Sidney Poitier
Starring: Gene Wilder, JoBeth Williams, Richard Pryor, Georg Stanford Brown
Continuity mistake: When Harry says the word to trigger the bull, the bull runs out at him and has horns. But in another shot later, the "bull" seems to have become a cow (with no horns).
Harry Monroe: Yea, that's right! That's right! We bad.
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.
