Factual error: At the drive-in movie theater, Cody orders his wife to turn off the speaker. She twists the knob in the wrong direction (to the right, which would have increased the volume instead), but somehow the sound turns off anyway. (00:29:00)
Revealing mistake: When our lead villain fires his shotgun at the cops behind the pipes, it lands in an almost perfectly square pattern instead of a more natural circle. The impacts look more like gaping exit wounds than where landed tiny pellets. The spread is also way too dense to miss the gaps that leave the cops exposed. (01:45:50)
Continuity mistake: In the film's final scenes at the fuel storage facility, full sunlight is streaming through the overhead rafters. Moments later, it's completely dark and the plant's floodlights are all turned on. A few shots further on, the lights are off and it's daylight again.
Continuity mistake: When James Cagney is in the machine shop he empties a bucket of metal shavings into a large barrel. The first time it's full of shavings. When he empties the second bucket the large barrel is now empty again.
