Continuity mistake: As the Charger emerges from the groves after repairs, it is spotted by the cop in the modified police car. The close-up of the cop beginning to smile shows that the insignia on the car door has only black outlines on the white door, yet all the shots after show it is properly filled in with gold.

Continuity mistake: In some scenes the Charger has emblems on the rear roof pillars that say 'Charger' but in others, there are no emblems there. This is very obvious just before and after the crash with the red truck (before hitting, there are none; stopping, they are back; crawling away, they are gone again). (01:12:30)

Visible crew/equipment: As the Charger races toward the railroad tracks, the view from above and behind the car shows a cable is pulling the car forward. The cable runs under the tracks (note the discolored pavement that crosses the tracks), then the cable emerges on the other side and turns left around a horizontal pulley. The cable disappears to the left where an off-screen truck is driving further to the left, pulling the car. (01:31:00)

Continuity mistake: In most shots, Larry is wearing tan driving gloves, but in several shots from the back seat looking forward, the stunt driver has bare hands. This is most obvious during the chase that ends with a police car crashing through a billboard. (00:57:30)

Visible crew/equipment: As the Charger approaches the bar/pool hall, a side shot of Larry driving shows a duplicate of his car reflected in the side of his door mirror. The film's budget was so small, there were no 'camera trucks' and such, so the extra two Chargers they had doubled as camera platforms when needed. (01:00:15)

Continuity mistake: After trying to ditch Mary at the general store, the blue Impala is chased by two cops in a patrol car. Shots looking rearward from the Impala's backseat at the police car show only two of its headlights are on, but shots showing Larry's face show the police car over his shoulder with all four lights on. This goes back and forth for several shots. (00:44:15)

Continuity mistake: As the '69 Charger turns onto a dirt siding to avoid a police car that approaches from the left, a side shot of the car shows it is suddenly a '68 Charger driving alongside the police car. The round tail lights are quite obvious, as are the missing square side marker lights of a '69 model. (01:09:30)

Continuity mistake: When the Charger emerges from the groves after repairs, it is chased by the 'Hot Rod' police car. Close-ups of the policeman show he is wearing black gloves, but shots from the Charger, looking rearward show a very obvious stuntman who is driving barehanded. (01:19:55)

Continuity mistake: While at the pool hall, Mary indicates that the sign in the window describes Larry perfectly. A close-up shows it reads 'Out To Lunch', but the next wide shot shows it reads 'We're Closed'. (01:01:45)

Continuity mistake: When the Charger turns off the paved road onto a dirt siding, it does so to avoid the cop approaching from the left on the side street. As the cop reaches the end of that street, he turns left to race alongside the Charger which is higher up on the dirt path. In the shot from the rear when the cop is turning, we see that he is already beyond the telephone poles that stand between the paved and dirt roads. When the shot changes to running alongside the police car, looking upward at the Charger, a telephone pole magically passes between the cars. Obviously, they started this shot further back. (01:09:30)

Continuity mistake: After colliding with the red pickup truck,, the trio decide to take the car deeper into the walnut grove to hide out while repairing the front end of the car. An exterior shot starts on the left side of the car as it turns away from the camera and crawls away. The round side-marker light behind the '440' marking and the lack of reverse lights in the rear valance indicates this is a 1968 Charger that is wearing 1969 tail lights, poorly installed. This is the only scene in the film that uses this car in this configuration. (01:13:40)
