Continuity mistake: Norby rips a bit of Veeko's pants from the right leg; when we see a close-up of Pantoliano, the filament popping in frame from above comes from the left side (if it's a shoelace and not part of the torn pants, Veeko's boots were not unlaced). As he falls, we see for a moment Veeko's feet and there's no torn fabric dangling. (01:13:50)
