Revealing mistake: When Charlie shoots the cow there is no bloodshed at all, even though the cow is supposed to be alive. (00:31:20)
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is taking Irene back to New York on his motorcycle they come across a supposed dead cow in the middle of the road, which by the way you could totally tell is fake. Charlie pulls out his gun and shoots the cow a few times then throws his gun off to his right way off the screen. Next screen shot the gun is right next to him. (00:31:20)
Continuity mistake: This happens a lot in the movie but specifically... When Charlie is shooting the cow, the wide shots with the bike are really sunny, but in the close ups (fingers in the nose) it is overcast or studio lighting. (00:31:25)
Continuity mistake: When Boshane and Peterson meet Irene at the police station Peterson's tie is folded below the knot. When the interrogate her right after the fold is gone, but it's back when Peterson gets killed. (00:34:40)
Audio problem: When Charlie and Irene are cruising on his motorcycle just after he leaves his meds in the motel room, you can hear the bike shift gears, but you do not see Charlie press the clutch or use the gear shift lever. (00:38:40)
Continuity mistake: After Charlie tells Irene that he is schizophrenic they hold each other by the hands. When the camera is on him her arms are bent at the elbow, and when the camera is on her her arms are stretched out. (00:41:45)
Continuity mistake: When Hank goes after the four baseball players the one whom he gets involved with is grabs a beer bottle. The camera cuts to Hank, then back to the four guys, and the beer bottle is gone although the man is leaning against the truck in exactly the same way as before. This happens before he may want to get his hands free to attack Hank. (00:44:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Shonte Jr and his brothers answer the door to the Colonel, you can see the camera and crew in the reflection of the door. (00:45:00)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the three Baileygates brother's are in a field with tents etc, helping the police to track down their father, Lee Harvey is wearing a plain grey vest. In alternating shots the vest changes to one with black edging, and then back to plain grey again. (00:47:30 - 00:48:40)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Irene and Hank are driving along in Gerke's car and Irene is holding the dart in her hand there are some inconsistencies: 1) The right window is sometimes open, sometimes closed. 2) When she is threatening Hank with the dart her hair is sometimes hanging over the dart, sometimes not. 3) Her seatbelt is sometimes on top of her collar, sometimes under it. (00:48:55)
Continuity mistake: When Charlie compliments Irene on not giving a damn about her hair it gets tucked behind her left ear by itself. (00:54:30)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Irene and Charlie run after the train there are several discontinuities: 1) The warning cross disappears in the shot where the last car passes. 2) In this shot the last car looks much higher than when Irene jumps on. 3) The sun direction changes. (00:55:20)
Continuity mistake: At the health food restaurant Hank gets annoyed with a slurping kid. At this point his hands change between holding on to his chair to lying on the table. (00:57:00)
Revealing mistake: Charlie tells Irene to jump from the moving train when he can't catch up to it. When Irene jumps, the train is standing still. It only appears to be moving because of clever camera manipulation. (00:58:00)
Deliberate mistake: After Irene tells Hank that she's starting to think he's a good person, when it cuts to a close-up of Boshane in the field, the bandage is on the right side of his face instead of the usual left side. It's a flipped shot from an earlier scene when Lee Harvey tells Boshane that his dad doesn't eat fast food. (00:59:00 - 01:04:55)
Factual error: The police are informed that Charlie and Irene are 100 miles away. As they board a police helicopter one of the cops tells them they can be there in 15 minutes tops. This means that the helicopter will be traveling at 400 mph. Police helicopters max out at about 130 mph. (01:02:25)
Continuity mistake: In the motel scene Charlie gets two cokes. When he returns we see Irene taking off her left shoe twice from different camera angles. (01:11:45)
Continuity mistake: During the outside motel scene, there is a maroon car parked outside. It changes between a Ford Escort and a Dodge Intrepid. (01:12:50 - 01:20:10)
Visible crew/equipment: When the police are leaving the motel, you can see a camera reflection in the S.W.A.T. van as it drives by. (01:18:10)
Continuity mistake: When we see the policeman with the chicken stuck in his rear end there are more chicken in the background. They disappear a few seconds later. (01:20:10)
Chosen answer: If you watch until after the end credits, you see it get eaten by a fish.
