Plot hole: There's a number of strange things about Butch's and Terry's escape: When the grid falls down the very loud noise passes unnoticed. After they climb down the tied bedsheets Butch pulls once and it comes down, although no-one tied it loose.

Visible crew/equipment: When Butch pulls up at the farmhouse where he is going to steal the Ford, a camera is reflected in the side window behind Butch. (00:36:00)
Other mistake: When Butch steals the clothes and the Ford, Phillip pees for almost two minutes, which is OK for an elderly man with a malfunctioning prostate but not for a healthy 8-year old boy, not even after an overdose of RC Cola. (00:39:20)
Continuity mistake: When Phillip is pulled into the Ford, his socks, in which he has been running around all day, are remarkable white, but later, at the Friendly store, they are as dark grey as one would expect. (00:39:25 - 00:45:00)
