Kingpin

Factual error: During the video montage after Roy, Claudia and Ishmael decide to go to Reno, Ish is seen sitting up in the back of the convertible. There should be a lot of wind but Ishmael's hair doesn't really move and he is even able to light his "smoking device" despite being in the open air. Toward the beginning of the scene Claudia and Ish are dancing in the back of the car and Claudia's hair is being blown around.

Continuity mistake: At the petrol station, the oil on Roy's mouth keeps changing position.

Continuity mistake: Roy puts down his sun visor in the car but it is up again in the next camera view.

Factual error: In front of Woody's apartment, (supposed to be in Scranton, eastern Pennsylvania) you see a telephone pole with a PAT bus sign. Pat is the Pittsburgh system, in western Pennsylvania.

Factual error: The ball return the hustlers put Woody's hand in would NOT cut off or chew up his hand, maybe peel off a little skin....

Continuity mistake: At the end when Big Ern is taunting Roy, he starts shaking his arms when "Showdown" starts. He is standing up in the shot before. In the next shot he starts standing up and repeats the action.
