Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie Evelyn drives to the café to look for Ninny. She finds her sitting on her suitcase at the place where here house had been. When they walk to the car together neither of them carries the suitcase. (01:50:40 - 01:57:50)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Evelyn and Ninny eat fried green tomatoes on Ninny's bed Ninny says "the Lord takes us home when he wants us". She stops chewing, musing about what she just said, holding a piece in both hands, but when the camera angle changes her arms are lying on both sides. (01:35:05)

Continuity mistake: When Evelyn knocks down the wall to her son's room the handle of the hammer shrinks by about half the moment Ed walks in. (00:31:00)

Continuity mistake: When Evelyn is about to drive into the red VW convertible her hands are on the wheel symmetrically when seen from behind, or one hand is on top when seen from the front in alternating shots. (01:15:35)

Continuity mistake: After Evelyn gets pushed and insulted in the supermarket she picks up her bags and walks out. When we see her in the parking lot a package is poking out of the left bag which wasn't there before. (00:49:30)

Continuity mistake: When Idgie walks back with the stolen honey hundreds of bees are crawling all over her, which show no intention to fly off. The camera cuts to Ruth for a few seconds, and when it cuts back to Idgie when she is reaching the picnic place there's no bee left on her. Besides, there is way too much honey in the jar that can't have come from the small piece of honeycomb she had collected. (00:33:05)

Continuity mistake: When Idgie goes and steals honey, in alternating shots her braid is either plaited back or plaited to the side so that it falls in front. (00:31:55)

Continuity mistake: When Ruth climbs onto the train her shoes have rather high heels. When she jumps off her shoes are flat, but when she gets up the heels are back.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie Buddy is run over by a train. He is hit by the locomotive at full speed, meaning that it would need hundreds of meters to come to a halt. However, when we see the crowd at the place of the accident the locomotive is right there. (00:14:55)

Continuity mistake: When Idgie, Ruth, and Buddy walk across the dam Ruth arms are either hanging down or stretched to the side to keep balance, depending on the camera angle. (00:12:25)
