Bandits

Factual error: Two problems with the end of the movie - first, a doctor must declare death officially before bodies can be bagged, and second, the bodies cannot be moved until a full investigation is performed.

Factual error: In the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Joe Blake (Bruce Willis) confronts his teenage hostage, who has just found a shotgun in the home. Willis overwhelms the boy and takes the gun from him. When Willis empties the gun by sliding the pump action, the live shotgun shell falls to the bedroom floor. However, when the shell lands it sounds very much like an empty brass pistol case bouncing concrete. It happens again, later in the movie. Willis' character empties the same shotgun after shooting it into the ceiling during a bank robbery. The empty shotgun shell makes the identical sound when it hits the bank floor.

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the little bar Bruce Willis kicks Billy Bob Thornton's chair over. Kate Blanchett picks Billy Bob up and tries to dance with him. A different angle shows Bruce Willis still at the table and the Billy Bob's chair is now upright.
