Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, in the scene when Ed is cutting Tolliver's hair, we see Ed holding scissors with his thumb and middle finger, yet, in the following shot he is holding them with thumb and index finger. There was no time nor need to change fingers; besides, a clipping sound is heard throughout the scene, which implies Ed never takes off scissors in order to change fingers. (00:10:05)

Correction: When the police arrest Ed, Ed (narrating) says that they found the papers with his name, bur they never found the cash. That makes us conclude that the Dry Cleaner man had the money hidden, saved. He stole the money from Ed, so he had to keep it safe. That's why nobody found it.
