Easy Rider (1969)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Dennis Hopper
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Antonio Mendoza, Phil Spector
Continuity mistake: Billy and Wyatt and the two commune women are having a swim in a water basin. Wyatt is sitting on the rim, splashing his feet in the water, and 'his' girl starts swimming towards him. Then it cuts to a frontal close-up of her smiling at him, but you can still see his feet splashing in the background. (00:39:30)
Deputy: Whatcha think we oughta do with them?
Cat Man: I don't never know. But I don't think they'll make the parish line.
Trivia: When Wyatt, Billy and George Hanson enter the diner, all the people in the diner were local inhabitants of that town - none of them were actors. Same for the two rednecks who shoot Wyatt and Billy from their truck, at the end of the film - they weren't actors and that was their pickup truck.
Question: What kind of dirt bikes are they riding in the opening scene of Easy Rider? Is it Harley?

Answer: Hopper is riding something British, Triumph or BSA. Hard to tell them apart and both were real common at the time.
