Factual error: During the video montage after Roy, Claudia and Ishmael decide to go to Reno, Ish is seen sitting up in the back of the convertible. There should be a lot of wind but Ishmael's hair doesn't really move and he is even able to light his "smoking device" despite being in the open air. Toward the beginning of the scene Claudia and Ish are dancing in the back of the car and Claudia's hair is being blown around.

Continuity mistake: At the petrol station, the oil on Roy's mouth keeps changing position.

Continuity mistake: Roy puts down his sun visor in the car but it is up again in the next camera view.
