Deliberate mistake: After dropping Rick off at the set, we see Cliff driving his car back to the house to fix the antenna. View forward from inside the car, the rearview mirror is obviously missing. The next scene, outside with the car coming toward you, the rearview mirror magically reappears.

Other mistake: Cliff's dog is referred to as female but when it jumps up at a door towards the end of the film, it is male.
Bruce Lee: My hands are registered as lethal weapons. We get into a fight, I accidentally kill you? I go to jail.
Cliff Booth: Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It's called manslaughter.
Trivia: The final feature-film to feature Luke Perry, who tragically passed away a few months before its release after suffering two strokes.

Answer: To put some context into the scene, three members of the Manson family (Tex included) have broken into Rick Dalton's house and are holding Cliff Booth at gunpoint. Cliff, who is high on drugs asks "Are you real", to which Tex replies "I'm as real as a donut, mother fucker." Tex was trying to answer Cliff's question stating whether or not he was real, but in the most intimidating way possible, and I guess donut was the word that came to mind that described how real he was.
