Continuity mistake: When Stanley is shown around the cake factory he takes his hat off and puts it on a conveyor belt and it is carried into a machine and covered in icing. But in the scene before this with the supervisor saying "and this is the enrobing chamber" you can see his hat come into shot on the conveyor belt already. In the next shot he still has his hat on and only then takes it off and puts it onto the conveyor belt. (00:13:08)
Factual error: When Mrs. Lane screams at the sight of the horse, on the back of Karen Steele you can see the outline of a modern bra under the shirt. (00:23:30)
Continuity mistake: When Elvis hands a pair of binoculars to his pappy, you can see there is a swarm of flies buzzing around Pappy, but in the next shot the flies have disappeared.
Other mistake: A Telechron electric clock on the fireplace mantel keeps time even though the power has failed.
Other mistake: A police officer fires two shots, hitting a bank robber in the back. The "bullets" do not make holes in the robber's coat. All they do is create two tiny puffs of dust.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes, the panoramic view of the Larkin homestead shows Lorenzo's "Gummint" Ford sitting with its hood up, days before he has been assigned to the case.
Continuity mistake: Susie, a six-year-old girl, leans over a bathtub and reaches for a rubber duck. She falls into the tub but it obvious the tub has no water. (The actress, Terry Burnham, landed on a pad or cushion.) Immediately after she falls, there is a very noticeable jump in the film. Then water splashes up but the splash is much too high to have been made by the little girl. The next scene shows the mother entering the bathroom and the little girl, now completely drenched, standing up in the bathtub.
Continuity mistake: Daffy takes down a gun from the mantle, but when Daffy points it at Bugs in the next shot, you can still see the gun on the mantle.
Factual error: It appeared that, during the engagement with the Serapis, every hit by either ship's guns resulted in an explosion and fire. Unfortunately, explosive shells wouldn't be used on shipboard (aside from bomb vessels) until the next century.
Continuity mistake: When Bugs is performing his shooting stunt in the saloon, you can see the entrance behind Sam has nothing between it. When Sam tells Bugs he's missed, we cut to Bugs who says "Wait!" and then return to Sam, and this time there are doors between the entrance.
