Continuity mistake: Venus' starts off with a burger in her left hand which immediately changes to a watermelon segment, while a cookie has now appeared in her right. She puts the watermelon down only for it to reappear in her left hand when the camera changes angle. The cookie has now disappeared. The camera switches again to show that the watermelon is no longer in her left whilst the cookie has returned to her right... which is swiftly replaced by her half-eaten burger. (01:07:00)
Factual error: Hy-Vee is a $10 billion retailer with its own Hy-Vee private label. The Hy-Vee store Kurt is working at and shopping at in the movie erroneously is not carrying Hy -Vee Private Label, but rather, carries Best Choice and Always Save which are AWG's private labels. Associated Wholesale Grocers is a $22 billion wholesaler that supplies independent Grocers all over the country, but not privately held chains like Hy-Vee or Kroger which have their own private labels.
Factual error: The movie largely takes place in California during the 1990s. California's mandatory seat belt law went into effect 1/01/86. When Mickey was driving Kyd to the cemetery, they were not wearing seat belts. Also, Kyd was 8 years old at the time. Although legally permitted to ride in the front, it is advised that kids sit in the back seat for safety. Considering Lyla was recently killed when a driver ran a stop sign, Mickey should have been more concerned for Kyd's safety as a passenger. (01:12:58 - 01:15:05)
Other mistake: "Boogie" was a HS student who didn't work and lived with his financially strained (heavily in debt) parents. The Chin family was receiving past-due notices for various bills. The IRS also sent a letter of intent to levy or seize their property if they did not immediately pay $4,513.29. But Boogie had money to buy marijuana, go out to dinner with his girlfriend, go to a gym, and visit a fortune teller - each multiple times. His mother also ate out and saw a fortune teller. With what money? (00:10:20 - 00:28:57)
Audio problem: During Rusty's conversation with Hardy (about knowing he doesn't want to be at the orphanage), some camera views of Hardy from behind show his cheek (and therefore his mouth) making little and insufficient movement for the words he is saying. In particular, Hardy saying, "Look, you can make me play this little game of yours" and "We done here yet, coach?" didn't show adequate facial movement from a rear angled view. (00:22:30)
