Continuity mistake: Sheriff Dollard did not have time to get out of his car and climb the balcony that he ended up on. Also the area around his car is too clear. He skidded to a stop, which kicked up dust in this dry town. There is no dust visible in this shot of Sheriff Dollard. (01:30:55)

Continuity mistake: When the women are sitting around the kitchen table drinking wine, the bottle changes places. First Carol Ann pours Chi Chi a glass and places the bottle in the middle of the table next to the napkin holder.

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Dollard is at the bar, Virgil walks in and sits down next to him. A drag queen's shoe is on the bar between the ear piecess of his sunglasses. When viewed from afar the shoe is pushed only half to 3/4 of the way to the lenses. When Virgil picks up the shoe, shoe is almost touching the lenses. (01:27:50)

Revealing mistake: When Vida, Noxema and Chi Chi decide on the convertible they pull forward a few feet. The catch their "reflection" in a mirror of some sort. When viewed with great scrutiny we see that in fact this is not a mirror reflecting their image but a camera shot of them that has been reversed. The special effects guy placed the lights around the clip to make it look like a mirror. When seen numerous times we can see the image shake a bit and that the image moves ever so slightly within the light bulb frame. (00:17:50)

Continuity mistake: Teleporting drag queen - The drag queens move to line up on stage then the camera pans down the line. Chi Chi is on of the last ones that the camera captures. A split second later in the next shot she/he is on the front of the stage opposite from where she was. She/he did not have enough time to cover that much distance. (00:06:20)

What about Bob? (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Dr. Marvin is choking on his food Bob gives him the Heimlich maneuver. He then puts Dr. Marvin on the couch and jumps down on him. Dr. Marvin expels the food just before Bob knees him the third time. This is best viewed in slow-motion. We are lead to believe that the third knee drop caused the food to be dislodged when actually the food is spit out just a split second prior to Bob landing the knee drop. (00:53:20)
