Other mistake: When Charlie and Paulette are being taken away to jail in a van, there are no more seats left - Charlie gave Paulette his seat - so Charlie has to stand. The view of the prison van is from the back of the van. At one stage we can see part of an arm, an elbow, beside Paulette, where there should be nothing but the end of the van.
