You can see that the number "5" bike is in front with the number "3" bike right behind it. Roger throws the number "5" bike off the RV to bring down the white truck, but when he uses his shotgun to eliminate the blue car, the number "3" bike has vanished and the number "5" bike has reappeared.

Continuity mistake: When Kelly says "It's the one I saw at the gas station" in the RV in the chase sequence towards the end of the film, you can see that Alice puts her hand on the table top in the front of her, but in the very next shot she is cleaning her hand with a green paper towel.

Continuity mistake: When the sheriff is talking in his car, Frank is seen yawning and putting his hand to his mouth, but in the next shot when Roger says, "These weren't hippies that we saw, Sheriff!", his hand has suddenly moved away from his mouth.

Continuity mistake: When Frank puts down his glass of beer to have a dance with Alice at the bar, the glass is full. However, when he and Alice return to the table after the dance, the glass is empty, and when he and Alice leave the bar with Roger and Kelly, the glass is full with beer again.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Roger kicks open the door on the RV and sends the mechanic into the river, you can see the RV is pursued by a white truck and there are no other cars visible. But when a man starts pouring gasoline into the RV, the white truck is joined by a blue car and a brown car.

Continuity mistake: When Roger climbs down from the ladder on the RV after eliminating the brown car during the chase sequence, he is holding a shotgun. In the next shot when the white truck hits the RV, Roger is holding onto the ladder but the shotgun has disappeared. The gun reappears when he eliminates the blue car at the end of the chase.

Continuity mistake: When we see the man pouring gasoline through the vent of the RV during the chase towards the end of the film, he is pouring it kneeling and his right boot is directly by the vent. But when we cut to another angle where the lid of the vent is open, you can see the man's knee, but his right boot is nowhere in sight.
