Continuity mistake: There is a scene where Jack Stanton is campaigning in Manchester, New Hampshire. He is shown talking with a counter clerk in a "Krispy Kremes" donut shop. There is no Krispy Kreme shop in Manchester, or even in New Hampshire. This is a southern chain, even though its donuts are now distributed throughout the U.S.
Primary Colors (1998)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: John Travolta, Billy Bob Thornton, Emma Thompson, Kathy Bates, Larry Hagman
Other mistake: In the scene at the kitchen table where the New York analyst is suggesting ways for Jack Stanton to deny the allegations he has impregnated a teenage black woman, to the staff he says, "We can go on Montel or Geraldo or some show like that." Only his mouth doesn't say "Montel." He is saying "Oprah," but has been dubbed in post-production to say Montel.
Gov. Jack Stanton: I'm going to tell you something really outrageous. I'm going to tell you the truth.
Trivia: President Bill Clinton loved the film loosely-based on him and the 1992 presidential campaign, that he had it shown at the White House.
