Visible crew/equipment: Just before the first robbery, as Bob approaches the water fountain, the camera crew is reflected in the storefront window as they push the camera dolly.
Drugstore Cowboy (1989)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Gus Van Sant
Starring: Matt Dillon, Heather Graham, Kelly Lynch, James Le Gros
Factual error: The motel's billboard advertised HBO, which did not exist in 1971 when the movie was set.
Bob: You just put a 30 day hex on us, that's what you did. Our luck just flew out the window for the next thirty days.
Trivia: There is a scene where we get a look at the neighborhood around Bob's house. We see an elderly lady sweeping her front porch, glancing suspiciously at Bob. That lady is Ruthie, and she owned the house on North Greenwich Avenue used for most of the interior shots. The porch she is sweeping is at the house across the street from hers.
