Revealing mistake: When Finch pokes Hawthorne in the eyes with his fingers during their fight, Finch's fingers miss Hawthorne's eyes and instead touch the corner of his face. (01:25:43)
Continuity mistake: Just after Ding and Benjy have taken off in the plane, a sheriff helicopter is shown following them. In the wide shot, the man sitting on the right has both hands on his lap, but in the next shot, his left hand is suddenly holding a radio that is raised to his mouth. (01:16:45)
J. Algernon Hawthorne: Jolly nasty accident there. Jolly lucky nobody was hurt.
Mrs. Marcus: Where did you get that funny accent? Are you from Harvard or something?
J. Algernon Hawthorne: Harvard? Rather not. I'm English.
Mrs. Marcus: Sounds so foreign.
J. Algernon Hawthorne: Really?
Trivia: Phil Silvers almost drowned whilst filming the scene when he drives his car into the river because he couldn't swim.
