Owning Mahowny

Factual error: Mahony gets Can$15,000 from the bank he works in in Canada and flies to Atlantic City (US) where the cashier gives him US$15,000 of chips. US and Canadian dollars are not equivalent and, at the end of 1981, the cashier should be giving him less than US$13,000. Since he is broke, he couldn't have made up the difference himself.

Factual error: Early on Mahoney is sitting in his car in the garage of Toronto Terminal 1. The time frame is 1980. There's a view of planes on taxiway and runway, it shows Canadair regional jets and Airbus A320's. Two planes that had not been invented in 1980. Not a big deal, but not historically correct.

Factual error: When Atlantic City Casino sends a plane for Dan, it has a C registration (Canada) and not N (USA). Silly error but Atlantic Casino would definitely have an N reg. (01:14:50)

Continuity mistake: When Mahowny is asking Doug for his money back, the slotmachine next to the one that Doug is playing on has different lights lit and flashing depending on the shot. (00:24:10)
