Audio problem: When the three (plus Jane's kids in the back of the car) are approaching Robert's store to rob it, in the last shot as they pull over nobody's lips move, the lines are dubbed over. (00:52:50)

Continuity mistake: After the failed robbery with the water gun, the friends try one more caper. Elaine knocks down a stack of paddles; a few are left standing against the ticket booth, but the moment there's a cut, a single paddle is still up. (00:50:25)

Continuity mistake: Louise says "I'll be in charge of phase 1", and her hands is on her own chest as she plays with the brooch; suddenly at the cut the same hand is on her arm. (00:39:15)

Continuity mistake: Elaine phoned her friends to meet her in front of the money ball. When we see Jane approach, she has a rather quizzical look. She walks past a bench with two older people on it, and comes across two women; one has long black hair and wears brown pants, the other shorter blonde hair and has lighter brown pants with some sort of long beige sweater tied to her waist that goes past her knees. The exact same duo that walked past her in the opposite direction is in front of her in the mall square a couple of shots later. (00:36:55)

Continuity mistake: Elaine is out of gas and tries to make a phone call at the mall. When she hangs up, the phone cord is positioned above or under the microphone in different shots without her touching it. (00:35:30)

Continuity mistake: Jane is talking to her dad who was just thrown out by her mum going through a lesbian phase. Look at him when he says "Hall closet, top shelf! Aye, aye, captain." His duffel back is floppy, and it rests already tighter to his body at the cut. (00:32:40)

Continuity mistake: In bed with Albert, Louise tells him she's gonna lose the store. She is holding the issue of Time magazine in different positions and distance between shots. For instance, at the first cut the magazine is suddenly resting on her chest, and the tip of her hair is above or below the magazine between shots. (00:23:25)

Factual error: It is established early in the movie (Natalie's call) that the money ball event celebration is part of the -first - anniversary of the Valley River Center, the shopping mall where most of the movie is set, with the town of Eugene, Oregon, mentioned explicitly. However, the center opened in 1969, and the movie is set in 1980. The original script was written in 1971, so that line needed an update and slipped by.

Visible crew/equipment: Jane and Louise drive to Elaine's garage sale. The car stops, and in the frame of the windshield you can see the reflection of a person moving and holding equipment. (00:18:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jane talks to Fred Willard once they get out of their lovemaking vehicle. She crosses her hands on top of the car door, but the hands are positioned differently between shots (when she says "Robert" the left is on top of the other, cut and they are locked together with the left hand sideways). (00:04:35)

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, the three protagonists walk into a literal meat market; the price tags on the steaks change position between the two wider angle and the closer one. (00:02:00)
