Audio problem: In the scene where Jack Brown (Richard Pryor) is talking to Eric about "Earning a friend" there is a problem with the lip-sync when the camera changes to an overshoulder of Richard. His mouth is moving but the spoken text is different. This occurs repeatedly during that scene.

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the fund raising party where Jack and Master Bates are messing up the party, the Grand Wizard of the KKK is pushed into a bowl of chocolate pudding. The amount of pudding on his face constantly changes in subsequent shots from completely covered to partially to completely to partially to finally completely covered.

Continuity mistake: When Jack Brown gets in the Wonder Wheel, he did not hook his feet into the foot straps, he only steps on the foot straps. When he is rolling in the Wonder Wheel his feet are supported by the Wonder Wheel as if strapped in properly. Since he was not strapped in his legs should have fallen down when he was upside down.

Factual error: When Jack Brown is talking to his wife on the phone telling her about the money US Bates is going to pay him, he is walking around the room. The phone does not have a cord connecting it to the wall but certainly is not a cordless model.

Visible crew/equipment: During the wonder wheel scene when Richard Pryor goes to the left into the column and then on the way back to the right, a hand appears reaching out to the wonder wheel on the right side of the screen for a couple frames then disappears. (00:18:56)

Fräulein: I'm gonna tell your father.
Jack Brown: Does everybody around here say that?
Eric Bates: Yeah.
Jack Brown: Well I'm not gonna say it anymore.
