Thelma and Louise

Continuity mistake: At the western bar Louise is drinking a margarita. As the shot goes back and forth between Thelma & Louise, the contents of the drink magically decrease and increase again. The level of Thelma's coke rises as well, when Harlan leaves them. (00:14:00)

Continuity mistake: J.D.'s hair turns dry between shots when he and Thelma fool around on the bed. In the following love scene his hairstyle changes several times. (00:56:00)

Continuity mistake: When Louise phones Jimmy for the first time from the motel, we see the pool outside and can see that all the sunbeds are in shadow. In the next shot, of Thelma by the pool, most of the beds are now in the sun. (00:31:00)

Continuity mistake: After T&L shoot the tanker, we see an aerial shot of the police car in the shadow of the rock next to it. When the cyclist gets to the car, though, it is in bright sunshine again. (01:54:00)

Continuity mistake: When Thelma and Louise are chased by the police across the dusty plains there's a aerial shot from behind where the ground is covered with tracks. When the camera changes to a closer angle from the front, the tracks are gone. (01:53:40)

Continuity mistake: When Thelma and Louise lock up the policeman in the trunk they shoot two air holes in the lid. Later the policeman sticks his finger through a hole to point out to the bicyclist where Louise had thrown the keys (surprisingly he could tell from the rather feeble sound what that sound was and where the keys had landed), and the rim of the hole shows that the bullet was shot from inside. (01:50:20)

Continuity mistake: When the girls have the trucker follow them, they are shown sitting on top of the car. However, when the driver is walking up to them, they are shown getting on top of the car again. (01:50:22 - 01:50:51)
