Continuity mistake: When Lucille is on the bridge the money falls out of the hat box and hooks onto a small beam. She then puts the hat box on the ground with the lid wide open. After she gets back to safety and the first cop is hassling her, a second cop approaches, he looks down then squats down. When he does we see that the hat box is not wide open, just partially open.

Audio problem: When the black lady informs Reverend Jackson about Peejoe her lips do not match what she is saying. This is most obvious when we hear the word "remember". (01:03:10)

Continuity mistake: After Peejoe gets hit by the rock he begins to fall backwards. In the closer up shot his legs are staggered with his right leg underneath him and his left leg out front. When the camera moves to a wider shot his legs are side by side. A third shot shows his left leg straight out in front of him as he falls. He had also fallen half the way down on the closer up shot before they moved to the wide shot. In the wide shot he was back to being more upright and falling. (00:42:40)

Continuity mistake: When the sheriff has Lucille at the jail she tells him about the horrible things her boyfriend did to her. During the conversation she is rubbing up and down on a bar. When the camera is facing Lucille the bar is round and the same size as the bars in the shot. When the camera is facing the sheriff it is a different bar, a smaller square shaped bar. (00:35:55)

Other mistake: When Peejoe is playing with his string you can see three spots of stuff in the shot. The camera lens must have been dirty because the spots stay in the same place in the frame until the split screen comes in with Lucille. (00:34:05)

Factual error: When Lucille wins $32,400 at the casino she is paid in 16 packs of $20 bills. This equals $32,000. The $400 is missing from the money the cage cashier slid to her. The $400 should/would have been loose money, but all the money she received was strapped. (00:41:40)
