Continuity mistake: After the encounter with John Boy, March asks Perry a question. He says "They havent', and they are not going to." The sentence spans across two shots, with a visible gap in continuity in the way Russell Crowe puts his sunglasses on. (01:28:25)

Continuity mistake: When the odd couple stops the car in front of the billboard, the Mercedes all of a sudden has a broken light and misses the hood ornament it had when they drove to the burnt house, and that it still has when they drive to the party.
