Factual error: During the pre-credits sequence, when the Driver is attempting to escape the police, the sound of the engine accelerates with the rhythm of a manual transmission while the model on the screen has an automatic transmission.
Drive (2011)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Nicolas Winding Refn
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston, Carey Mulligan
Continuity mistake: When Gosling crashes into Nino's cars a few times, the front end of his car is noticeably damaged. However, in the subsequent shots, the car is perfectly fine. Even the front headlights are implausibly intact and working despite just T-boning Nino's car.
Trivia: In the original script, Bernie kills Shannon by choking him with a garrote wire. Bryan Cranston suggested changing it to having Bernie slash Shannon's arm under the pretense of shaking his hand, as the handshake originated as a way for two individuals to demonstrate to each other that they were not carrying a weapon.
