Corrected entry: In the beginning narrative, the little boy says Big Mama's brother stays in his room watching his TV. At the end of the movie, when the uncle brings his TV down stairs and drops it, money starts flying around. All that paper would surely have caused a fire during the TV's use.

Factual error: At one point late in the film, Terry says she called in a favor to the "District Attorney" after Lim was arrested. In Chicago, where the film is set and where the arrest took place, there are State's Attorneys, not District Attorneys. Terry, a lawyer practicing in Chicago, would most definitely have known that.
Mama Joe: One finger pointing the blame won't make no impact, but you ball all those fingers into a mighty fist, and you can strike a mighty blow. Now, this family has got to be that fist.

Correction: Paper ignites at 451 degrees Farenheit. As long as the paper didn't come into direct contact with an electric arc, it's unlikely that the paper would ignite before the increase in temperature either caused the TV to stop operating or the uncle to notice the room heating up remarkably.
