Continuity mistake: When waitress Genevieve (Eleen Brennan) is coming out of the kitchen, two plates on one arm, they are nearly empty. The door hits her from behind, and the plates are now filled with cheeseburgers and fries. (00:06:20)
The Last Picture Show (1971)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Peter Bogdanovich
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Ben Johnson, Timothy Bottoms, Cybill Shepherd
Genres: Drama
Factual error: The movie takes place in 1951 and 1952, but Jacy's parents were driving a 1953 Cadillac convertible. Dagmars (bumper bullets) are apparent on this car and they were introduced in 1953.
Sam the Lion: Bein' crazy about a woman like that is always the right thing to do.
Trivia: Ben Johnson won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Sam the Lion, even though he's only on screen for a total of 9 minutes and 54 seconds. This is the shortest performance ever to win the award.
