Corrected entry: In a scene where the principles are standing in front of a car, the license plate is yellow with a white sticker in the upper right corner that is for the year. However license plates back then did not have stickers for the expiration year. Those plates had the year as part of the plate itself. those plate were replaced each year. There was no such thing as an expiration sticker as we have now. And this mistake is repeated several times throughout the movie.

1 corrected entry
Directed by: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Giovanni Ribisi
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sgt O'Mara rescues the girl from Cohen's thugs, when the Murphy bed closes, she is head-down. When he opens the bed, she is standing right-side up.
Jerry Wooters: Playing hot potato with a grenade isn't much of a strategy.
Question: When the sharp shooter said to Ramirez, "That's my boy", was that meant to imply that Ramirez is actually his son?
Chosen answer: No, this is explained when O'Mara recruits Kennard. Kennard says that nobody would work with Ramirez because of his Latino heritage, so Kennard took him under his wing. And while he did that, he also taught Ramirez to shoot just as good he can, because before that, Ramirez was a lousy shot.
