Continuity mistake: As the five Elvises walk into the convention it is supposed to be at the Riviera Casino, but you can clearly see the overhead light show which is in the old downtown on Fremont street.

Continuity mistake: When the crew escapes in the helicopter it is a Huey N model (you can tell by the rounded nose and twin exhaust.) When they throw Franklin's body out, the shot from below is of a JetRanger.

Continuity mistake: Murphy and Cybil are buzzed into the antique store - any door with that kind of lock will have an automatic closing mechanism, to keep up the security. Michael is able to walk in later, when everyone is dead or gone. No buzzer.

Continuity mistake: During the scene where the kid and his mom are being chased by the Wombat truck, they show them both wearing their seat belts.

Continuity mistake: When the kid is shaving in the bathroom, when he hears the noise of the guys he wipes off his face and hides, but when they show him hiding in the shower you can see shaving cream on his face in the shape of a side-burn.

Trivia: Kevin Costner kills the guy driving the "Wombat Wagon" to/from Canada. The driver identifies the wombat as a small animal - like a hedgehog. As far as I know the wombat is unique to Australia, and it is about the size and weight of a decent-sized pig.
