Revealing mistake: The principal apprehends the two younger and bigger guys at once (and for some reason they don't gang up on him and kick his butt). The other guys in the Chevy decide to get back in and drive away. You can already see on the dirt the path they will follow, which is logical for the bit in reverse but not so much for the part when they turn left and go forward, which is not how the car could arrive to that point. And when later the car circles around, it moves also on a path that was not showing in the first shot. (00:11:50)

Continuity mistake: Rick Latimer is at the bar with his buddies. He spots his ex-wife on a date with the divorce attorney and begins rambling. "This kind of sh. Happens", one of his friends says. The friend next to him, rightmost position, is smoking, and his hand is suddenly raised at the cut. (00:02:45)
Victor Duncan: Why don't you do yourself a favor and go back to your white-bread, suburban, cesspool land while you still have a chance?
Rick Latimer: I can't.
