The Hoose-Gow

Revealing mistake: When Stan and Oliver are working with the road gang, Oliver's hat falls off and Stan impales it with his pick. When Stan moves Oliver's hat around, you can see holes in the hat from previous takes.

Revealing mistake: When the governor and warden reverse the car back into the paint truck at the end of the film, watch carefully and you can see the two barrels of whitewash tip over before the impact.

Continuity mistake: When Oliver produces two apples as part of the plan to help him and Stan escape from prison, you can see that he is holding the apples with his fingers under them, but the next shot shows Oliver holding the apples with his fingers around them.
