Factual error: When they get to western Nebraska, there are several scenes showing a mountain range in the background. There are no mountains anywhere in Nebraska.
Continuity mistake: When Lewis and Fuller go to rescue Venna from the motel room, at one point, Lewis goes around back and looks in the window. He sees Venna with the tape around her, and it shows a quick shot of her from his view, and the tape is extremly loose.
Factual error: It's the end of the school year, which would be early-mid June. Corn is not that high that soon in the summer.
Factual error: When Rusty Nail is chasing them down the dirt road, and they come to a nearly 90 degree turn, there is NO way that a semi could take that turn at the same speed as the car and not flip over.
Suggested correction: The turn wasn't a 90 degree angle, it was more of a curve than a turn.
Plot hole: The incident at the hotel happens in the town of Table Rock, Wyoming. Aside from Table Rock not having any hotel, the drive from Table Rock to Boulder, Colorado is only 4 1/2 hours. Unless they're crawling, why is this trip taking two days? The film uses real life locations and town names. The rest of the film is justifiable as Rusty controls the game, but the first act of the film's timeline is messy.
Plot hole: Fuller is supposed to be heading to Denver, but after picking up Venna in Boulder he inexplicably stays on even after telling Lewis just before this that he was not going to be going home with them.
Continuity mistake: The cherries are already on the table before they are ordered.
Continuity mistake: When Rusty Nail has the car pinned up against the tree, his truck breaks the windows. The driver's side window is completely broken in one shot, however when Rusty leaves, the window is shattered but largely intact.
Continuity mistake: During the cornfield scene, there is at least one point where the spotlight on the truck is off, but then on again.
Factual error: When Fuller, Lewis and Venna are at the town with a bar in Nebraska, there are mountains in the distant background. Nebraska doesn't have mountains of that height. Most of the film was shot in Nevada.
