Continuity mistake: When Ennis brings Alma Jr. and Jennie to Alma at the Supermarket, Alma Jr. grabs a jar of peanuts off the end display. This causes a group of jars to come crashing down, breaking glass and causing peanuts and glass to fly all over. Alma squats down to the floor to help pick up the broken jars and peanuts, but when Alma bends back up and goes to bring the girls to the front of the store, all the jars that had crashed and broken on the end display shelf are now upright and whole before anyone had had the time to pick them all up.

Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Ang Lee
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Michelle Williams, Heath Ledger
Ennis receives a postcard back that he sent to Jack. It has "deceased" stamped across it. He calls Jack's wife, Lureen, and learns Jack died when a tire he was fixing exploded. In reality, Jack was beaten to death for moving in with another man on a nearby ranch. Lureen says Jack was cremated and had asked to have his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but because she didn't know where that was, she buried half of the ashes in Texas and sent the other half to his parents. Ennis goes to Jack's parents' house but is told that he cannot have the ashes. Jack's mother lets Ennis go through Jack's old bedroom, where he finds the shirts the two were wearing when they fought on Brokeback Mountain. Back in his trailer, his daughter, Junior comes to visit and tells Ennis she is getting married. Ennis says he won't be able to come to the wedding because he'll be working on a ranch, but later tells her he will be there. After she leaves, he goes to his closet and looks at the shirts and a postcard of Brokeback Mountain, and says, "Jack, I swear." That is the end.

Trivia: Actor Randy Quaid, who played Jack and Ennis' boss in the movie, filed a lawsuit against the studio, claiming that the studio had made him believe that it was a low budget movie rather than a big production as to secure his pro-acting talents for cheap fees. So far, both sides have differing opinions on whether Quaid's suit was settled or not.
