Directed by: Terry Zwigoff
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, John Ritter, Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac
Factual error: During the first mall robbery, when Marcus is sliding down the middle of the escalator, both sides of it are running. They would have been turned off as the mall was closed.
Factual error: The last half of the movie is supposedly set in Phoenix, Arizona. Since I live there, it was obvious that none of the shopping centers, housing developments, street names, police car markings, or police uniforms were from Phoenix. They looked like they were possibly from Los Angeles.
Continuity mistake: When John Ritter threatens to fire Billy Bob Thornton, and Billy thinks he's talking about the midget, it appears as though he shaved. However, in the next scene, where he is flirting with the young girl at the pinball machine, he isn't shaved.
Willy: Were you dropped on your head?
Kid: My head?
Willy: Of course your head. Who else's head are we talking about?
Kid: How can I be dropped on my own head?
Trivia: The first lady (with the dark hair) that accepts the photo from Marcus is none other than Alex Borstein, the voice of Lois on Family Guy.

Answer: The wooden pickle was a gift he made for Willie. Thurman didn't confuse "wooden nickle" with wooden pickle.
