Continuity mistake: After Deke unloads into the burger joint's sign to silence the speaker, and in revenge for his dad, after all the commotion is done two holes magically appear in the front cover.

Other mistake: On the ball field, the one kid running away gets hit in the lower back by the soda can. Problem is the soda can looked as if it were tossed in a gentle arc rather than directly at him. Also, it barely touched him, and he took a few more steps, then grabbed the spot it hit him, then fell, rather than falling immediately.

Other mistake: It was interesting that the beer truck didn't continue to run. The rocket blew up the side of the trailer, and the tractor was not affected, so it could have continued to run, like Zeke's garbage hauler after it dumped on the bible salesman's car.

Factual error: When the fuel tanker comes over to have Billy drop fuel, he pulls the hose down and plugs it into the tank receptacle. The troubles here are that 1) the hose wouldn't be connected in transit, it would be stowed on the side unconnected. 2) elastic straps are usually employed to keep the hoses secured until the tanker gets to its destination to drop the load.

Continuity mistake: When Wanda is mowed down by the machine gun, she fires the rocket launcher. It was fired at a about a forty degree angle, but the rocket went directly at the beer truck. If you look, the rocket and its exhaust trail disappear about a second before the trailer blows up. Also, there is no impact spot from the rocket.
