Visible crew/equipment: When LT goes to see the nun at the hospital, a nurse asks him if she can help him with anything and you can see the boom pole and mic reflected in the glass window behind them. It's above the "No Visitors" sign and it bobs around for the rest of their conversation. (00:25:59)

Continuity mistake: During the infamous scene when LT assaults the two young women sat inside their car, the car window is open for the whole conversation, however when LT is shown masturbating the car window is rolled up. (00:33:58)

Visible crew/equipment: After getting the $30,000 off the drug dealer LT is shown high and staggering around the dealer's apartment building. As he walks down the last flight of stairs you can see the camera's shadow fall across LT and the wall next to him. Also, at this point, a foot can be seen (possibly a crew member's) carefully moving out of the way on the floor above at the top left of the screen. (01:01:44)
