Continuity mistake: After the quick close-up when Bob gets in the truck on the logging road, the clouds behind him change drastically.
Drugstore Cowboy (1989)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Gus Van Sant
Starring: Matt Dillon, Heather Graham, Kelly Lynch, James Le Gros
Factual error: The movie is set in 1971, but a fire extinguisher with modern pictorial labels can be seen when the detective is dusting for fingerprints in the drugstore.
Bob: You just put a 30 day hex on us, that's what you did. Our luck just flew out the window for the next thirty days.
Trivia: There is a scene where we get a look at the neighborhood around Bob's house. We see an elderly lady sweeping her front porch, glancing suspiciously at Bob. That lady is Ruthie, and she owned the house on North Greenwich Avenue used for most of the interior shots. The porch she is sweeping is at the house across the street from hers.
