Audio problem: In one scene Miss Daisy is listening to the radio, but the HiFi sound isn't exactly what a small radio in the early 50's was able to deliver. (00:33:40)

Deliberate mistake: During the ice storm, Hoke brings Miss Daisy coffee because he figured her stove was out. A few scenes before that they are frying chicken on a gas stove. Gas doesn't go out during power outages.
