Hard Times picture

Revealing mistake: Establishing shots of the party where Chaney will fight Pettibon's guy; when we see the band play and people dance, the footage is rather obviously stopped and reversed to give the impression of a longer shot (evidently they had too little usable film of the crowd dancing). (00:31:00)

Revealing mistake: When the motorbike randomly explodes after Terri and Dave get out of the car, it is obvious that the explosion does not come from the bike, but from the shrub behind it, which also happened to creep up closer between shots. (00:07:30)
