Corrected entry: Mountie Police cars are not red in colour. They are blue and white. Clearly filmmakers assumed cars matched colour of uniforms.

Correction: Mounties uniforms are not red. Those are dress uniforms used mostly for graduation from depot, special events, and for formal ceremonies. The everyday uniform is dark blue. In 1980, while most RCMP cars were blue (almost purple) and white, they did have ghost cars of any color. And current RCMP cars are white with striping kits. They have not been blue and white since the late 80s.

Corrected entry: Cletus goes to Bandit's motel room at night while he's drunk and calls Frog who is marrying Junior again in the daylight. She then comes to Bandit's motel room to meet him that same night (seemingly in a matter of minutes) and when she gets there, Bandit somehow is completely sober.

Correction: She didn't meet the bandit that same night.

Corrected entry: The Bandit says that he's the only person "to have drunk up a Trans Am," meaning he traded it away on alcohol. But he didn't have his Trans Am at the end of the first movie; he made his escape in a Cadillac and left the Trans Am behind (most likely for the police to find and impound).

Correction: "Most likely" doesn't count. They didn't show what happened to the Trans Am, so it is up to your imagination what happened between the two movies.

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Justice has caused the roller coaster frame to collapse his car's left front hubcap is gone, but soon reappears. Then during the "game of chicken" between the semi-trailers and police cars, his car's left back hubcap is gone, but reappears just before Justice thinks about retiring.

Question: Was the ill-fated Rollercoaster in the film supposed to be a working one? The owner's angry reaction to its destruction suggested that it was, but if you look closely, there were gaps in the tracks and also where was the actual rollercoaster itself. This has always confused me.

Gavin Jackson

Answer: To me, in real life, it looks like a roller coaster was already set up for demolition because of its poor conditions, and the crew was able to film it for the movie. However, in-universe, the owner kept saying they were closed. It's possible they were closed to repair the roller coaster to make it work but now it's completely destroyed and beyond repair.
