Continuity mistake: During the car accident Miss Daisy is wearing a beige dress. Later she looks out of the window at the towing activities and is wearing a red dress. When Boolie argues with her about her driving she is wearing a green dress. This is happening within too short a time to explain all this unnecessary changing. (00:03:35)
Continuity mistake: After the incident with the police on their way to Mobile there is a panorama shot of the cruising car with no Miss Daisy on the back seat. (00:53:20)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy is packing for her trip to Mobile there is a blouse hanging over the suitcase lid while she is looking out of the window. When she comes back from the window the blouse is gone. (00:45:00)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy reverses the car down into the neighbor's garden, she hits the same flower pot twice. (00:01:30)
Continuity mistake: On their first tour Miss Daisy shops at a place called Piggly Wiggly. When Hoke looks through the window into the shop you see the reflection of a street sign saying Wiggly (with a W) although in all other shots there is no street sign outside. (00:24:00)
Continuity mistake: In the reversing accident the car goes down a nearly vertical slope, but all close-up shots taken through the front window show that the car's position is still nearly horizontal. That's why Miss Daisy can get out without any problem, and that's why, after she has left the car, it falls down the same slope again. (00:01:40)
Continuity mistake: While Hoke is driving Daisy to her synagogue (the time when they learn that her synagogue has been bombed) they pass a little red brick house with a white picketed fence and a 1964-63 light blue Chevrolet pickup sitting in the driveway. They continue to drive and argue as usual and moments later they pass the same house and truck. (01:12:00)
Continuity mistake: After the reversing accident Miss Daisy is shown sitting in the car with some twigs in front of her face. While she was reversing the windows were closed, and they didn't break during the accident. (00:01:35)
Continuity mistake: While Miss Daisy is waiting for Hoke to drive her to Mobile she looks impatiently at her watch which shows 10:50. A few shots later she looks at a wall clock which shows 6:57 which is also in line with the plot. (00:45:30)
Continuity mistake: In the opening when Boolie is confronting Daisy about her driving accident, he leans on the kitchen doorway with his arms. In the next frame, he is leaning on the doorway with his hands. (00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: On the trip to Mobile, they left in Daisy's first Cadillac, a pre-1956 model with round exhaust ports in the back bumper. When they pull back onto the highway after being stopped by the Georgia State troopers, they are in a 1956 Cadillac, with oval exhaust ports in the rear bumper, and no vertical chrome on the back doors.
Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy talks to Boolie about Hoke's alleged theft you see bright daylight outside, also in the scene before when Boolie has breakfast. In all shots taken outside Miss Daisy's home it is dark and foggy. (00:31:40)
