Corrected entry: Why would Michael J. Fox be driving through South Carolina if he is traveling from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles, CA?
Correction: Why wouldn't he travel by air? Faster, simpler and probably cheaper. When I was transferred from our head office in London to our branch in York I drove via Torquay in Cornwall, Bounewouth in Devon, Cardiff in Wales and Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Look that up on Google Maps if you like. I was having fun, travelling about and seeing the sights like all tourists do. That's what Doc Hollywood was planning to do.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Lou and Dr. Stone are in the woods and she begins urinating on the ground to scare away the deer, she pulls her jeans down but does not pull down her underwear. Can't be some careful rearranging - Lou's hands are in plain view the whole time on the waistband of her pants.
Correction: It's simpler than "careful rearrangement". Watch the scene carefully - Lou isn't wearing any underwear to begin with.
Corrected entry: When Dr. Stone is given the pipe from the father of the baby he delivered, he puts it in his mouth and starts walking down the stairs. The camera angle changes to the bottom of the stairs and he is now seen walking down the stairs holding the pipe and then putting it in his pocket.
Correction: Since we don't see his entire descent down the stairs, its possible that he took the pipe from his mouth and that's why we see him holding it at the bottom.
Correction: He was traveling south first, then west, since he's moving to Southern California.

Any highway route I was able to find (using Google Maps) that went through even the northernmost tip of South Carolina, added a minimum of 4 hours to the cross-country trip (43 vs. 39 hours). While I know that they didn't have Google Maps (or even MapQuest) in 1991 when "Doc Hollywood" was released, AAA and other travel services did have software and maps to advise people on best routes when travelling long distances...and if you didn't consult them, everyone who travelled had advice. Using I-40W across America was (and still is) the most direct route, and goes nowhere near South Carolina. In other words, if he went through SC...he either intended to-for some reason not stated in the film-or he was lost, driving randomly through the rural South, taking the "scenic route", because he was further south off the "best route" (and main roads) than a simple detour due to construction could have caused. He would have had to start off going in the "wrong" direction from the beginning.
