Continuity mistake: Once April and Claudia are in Fin's car, when Fin says, "My luck, sharks," it's raining and the wipers are on, swishing back and forth, but in the next closeup as Nova says, "Mine too," the front windshield is perfectly dry and the wipers are not on, then next shot it's back to rain and swishing.

Revealing mistake: While Matt and Nova are up in the chopper, Baz loads the vehicle then asks Bobby how the front end is looking, and in the next overhead shot we can see that one of the center spokes has been removed from the front of the vehicle, but when Luellyn pushes Bobby out of the way Luellyn is skewered by that non-existent spoke - which was digitally added. The real spoke is back on in later shots.

Trivia: While Jules and Travis discuss his graduation and Jules' popularity in school, Travis looks through his mom's yearbook and comments that there's a picture of Jules "dancing onstage with Bruce Springsteen." Courteney Cox, who plays Jules, appears in Bruce Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark' music video from 1984, as the girl in the audience who's pulled onstage by Springsteen to dance with him, towards the end of the video. This was Courtney's first acting job.
