No Country For Old Men
No Country For Old Men mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Chigurh kills the three Mexicans inside the motel room, the dead body of the second man with the meter in the hand changes position in two detached shots. At first he has his head on the ground, then he keeps it pressed from behind against the cistern toilet. (00:50:28 - 00:51:09)

Continuity mistake: When Moss unloads the shotgun onto the diving Chigurh, Chigurh's right thigh is towards Moss, but later when C fixes his wound, it is his left thigh he's repairing. (01:04:14)

Factual error: When Josh Brolin is leaning on the cinder block fence at the motel towards the end of the film, behind him are some mountains and a tall building. The scene is set in El Paso, Texas but the mountains shown are the Sandia Mountains which are east of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Factual error: The phone bill shows several calls from Area Code 210 (San Antonio). This Area Code did not exist until 1992, some 12 years after the movie is set.

Factual error: Carla Jean says she works at the Walmart in Sanderson, Texas. There is no Walmart there, nor has there ever been. The nearest one is 65 miles away in Fort Stockton.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the two sheriffs inspect the burning car, Wendell puts his thumbs in his back pockets, where they remain for the next two shots from behind. Shots from the front, however, have Wendell's left hand in front, with his thumb through his belt. (00:27:30 - 00:28:30)

Continuity mistake: During the gas station scene, Chigurh is continually eating from his bag of nuts. During the conversation between Chigurh and the attendant, as the camera cuts back and forth between them, Chigurh keeps eating a nut from behind, and then from the front, his hands are by his side and he eats a nut again. This occurs several times throughout the scene.

Nervous Accountant: Are you going to shoot me?

Trivia: After burning and exploding a car, Anton Chigurh enters a pharmacy called Mike Zoss Pharmacy, to steal syringes, antibiotics and other stuff. The Coen brothers hung out at the real "Mike Zoss Drugs" located in a small shopping center call Texa Tonka, in St. Louis Park, a first ring suburb west of Minneapolis, Minnesota, when they were growing up and named it after him in the film as an homage. Mike Zoss Productions is the name of their production company (also named after the same man). "Mr. Zoss never asked us to leave," the brothers told Vanity Fair in 2011. "Out of gratitude we named our production company after him." The drugstore, founded in 1950, was later run by Mike's son Barry.
