Continuity mistake: Chaney beats up the gangster who attacks him in the bar brawl and sends him over the pool table - he does it twice with different timings in two separate shots. (00:37:45)
Continuity mistake: When Chaney sends one of Pettibon's guys flying over the pool table, Pettibon is standing dumbfounded with a beer in hand holding it at different height between shots. Likewise, the man that is hunched to the right of the screen casts on the wall a shadow in a different position between shots. (00:37:55)
Continuity mistake: Speed and Poe crash the fancy party to set up the bet for 3 grands. James Coburn chews up a toast (and the scenery) saying he'll take Chick Gandil's odds. He chewed the toast whole, but at the next cut the toast reappears in his other hand, previously free. (00:43:35)
Continuity mistake: Gandil and his men leave the cage as Chaney and Jim Henry begin their fight. The weasely bookie grabs the cage above the thick horizontal bar in one shot, but his hand is below the bar in the next shot. (00:49:25)
Continuity mistake: When Henry and Chaney struggle for position with Chaney's arm under the brute's chin, Robert Tessier's right hand is grabbing the cage much higher at first, then head-high. (00:51:45)
Continuity mistake: After the cage fight, Chick Gandil gives Speed the money putting it in his right hand. Next shot and Coburn pulls back...his left hand. (00:53:40)
Continuity mistake: The good guys are celebrating at a club after winning the fight with Gandil's man. Speed says "Hey, Chaney." Bronson and Jill Ireland are sitting down normally, but in the reaction shot on them, Jill Ireland suddenly has her arm on the back of the seat. (00:54:35)
Continuity mistake: When Speed proposes a toast to "The Napoleon of Southern sports"; Bronson is looking at him with his shoulders straight, but the next shot shows him leaning back to the railing. (00:55:30)
Continuity mistake: When Poe is trying to impress his rather unflappable date referencing the more famous eponymous Edgar Allan, she holds the glass of wine at different height when she sighs that she surely will hear about it, and Poe's gesticulating leaves his finger raised or lowered depending on the shot. (00:55:35)
Continuity mistake: When Gayleen looks at Speed gamble away his winnings, her hand is on, then off the table. (00:56:50)
Continuity mistake: Speed has the loan shark at his neck. The night after they damage his car, he is waiting Poe and Chaney at the dock. There is a car behind him, and the people by the vehicle change between shots. (01:04:05)
Continuity mistake: Chaney walks away from Street, Gandil and Jim Henry turning down the fight offer; the balls on the billiard table change positions between shot and reverse angle. (01:10:35)
Continuity mistake: Before the final fight, the bad guys come out of the room at the top of the oyster plant office building. They release Speed and he walks towards the stairs. The evil enforcer Street comes out of the door in the first shot, walks a few steps, then in the next wider angle we see Speed walking down the stairs but Street is still inside and comes out only a moment later. (01:20:35)
Continuity mistake: When Speed tells Gandil that he's always going to smell like fish, the moustached henchman in the background is holding the coat with one arm, but at the cut he is holding it over both crossed arms. (01:21:50)
Continuity mistake: During the final fight between Street and Chaney, Chaney's shirt rests on the car's front in different ways between shots; you can tell for instance when they struggle by the car (a moment before the shot when Speed yanks Poe out of the way). The shirt shows its buttons; a minute later they are back fighting by the car and the shirt is folded the other way. (01:24:45 - 01:25:40)
Continuity mistake: When Chaney takes care of the 'in-betweens' at the end of the movie, the light is different in the separate angles with James Coburn holding the money, and so is the angle the bills are tilted at. (01:29:20)
