Deliberate mistake: When The Kid visits the farm, the red truck in the background is a Fleetside truck that is definitely not from the 1930s.
Deliberate mistake: During the funeral march you can see that one of the guys dancing has 1960s-style sunglasses on.
Deliberate mistake: During the funeral march you can see that one of the buildings has a 1960s-style air conditioner on the side of the building.
Other mistake: Just before Ladyfingers starts as the dealer in the big poker game, we are shown how skilled she is, with a close-up of her hands doing an expert shuffle of the deck. Lancey even tells her she hasn't lost her touch. But then she deals the third and fourth cards so badly that they flip in the air and are easily seen as a red deuce and a black deuce. It happens toward the bottom of the screen but slowing down the DVD makes it obvious.
Slade: How the hell did you know I didn't have the king or the ace?
Lancey Howard: I recollect a young man putting the same question to Eddie the Dude. "Son," Eddie told him, "all you paid was the looking price. Lessons are extra."
