Continuity mistake: When Basquiat is painting on a sign with a horse on it, he puts a white line through the horse. When Warhol has a look at it, the stripe no longer covers the horse.

Continuity mistake: Rene and Basquiat are in the studio, Basquiat asks Rene what time is it and draws in chalk "Rene 5:11" on the canvas. But before this scene, Rene walks past the canvas where the quote is going to be written, and it's already there.

Basquiat: I gotta get out of New York.
Andy Warhol: Hey, we could go to Pittsburgh! I kinda grew up there. They have this room with all the world's famous statues in it, so you don't even have to go to Europe any more... just go to Pittsburgh.
