Visible crew/equipment: Just before the first robbery, as Bob approaches the water fountain, the camera crew is reflected in the storefront window as they push the camera dolly.
Drugstore Cowboy (1989)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Gus Van Sant
Starring: Matt Dillon, Heather Graham, Kelly Lynch, James Le Gros
Factual error: In the final flashback scene, which was no later than 1971 because Nadine was still alive, the Ford van is a distinctive style not introduced until 1975.
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.
