Continuity mistake: In the first getaway scene Tanner Howard is driving the blue car with blue latex gloves still on from the robbery. As he drives he pulls off the gloves, but in the very next shot of him driving he has the gloves back on. (00:04:35)

Snag.1

Factual error: At the road block scene, the state trooper is wearing brown boots with his uniform. There's not a state trooper in Texas that wears brown boots in uniform. Black trooper boots are part of the Texas State Trooper uniform.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Jeff Bridges is sitting on the porch the red ashtray on the table next to him disappears from the table.

Factual error: A few issues related to the portrayal of Texas state troopers in the film. Most obviously, the patch worn on their uniforms is an anachronism, as that style has not been used since the 1990s and the film is set in the present day. There are also some smaller issues related to their vehicles - for example, the graphics and lights are slightly different from the real things, and the license plate numbers are inconsistent with the style used for actual highway patrol vehicles.

Audio problem: After the duo rob the restaurant, they're trying to escape through the small town. They're arguing during this scene. Chris Pine's mouth does not match the dialogue during one shot.
