Goofs

When Sam takes Lila to stay at the Gillespies' house, the exterior shot of the house shows the front door as having a darker frame with lighter-colored panels. In the next interior shot, the door is all the same color. The large living room window is also different between interior and exterior shots.

When the police cars are shown at the roadblock, they are Highway Patrol vehicles; afterward, Wagner is shown meeting with State Policemen.

The rear view mirror inside Sam Wagner's Ford is missing during the interior shots, but visible from the exterior shots.

At the beginning, the rear-view mirror in the bank robbers' parked car is positioned upward. As the scene switches, and the car pulls away from the curb, the mirror is positioned normally.

The depiction of rainfall throughout the film is inconsistent. For example, when Sam is taking Lila to the Gillespies' house, the closeup of them in the car shows water beads on the car's hood, but Sam doesn't have the wipers on. When the car pulls up to the house a few minutes later, the street is wet (indicating recent rainfall), but the car is dry except for a little moisture on the windshield.

(at around 16 mins) After Poole is asked by Ed (one of the Honor Farm guards) if he wants to ride into town to see the sights, Poole easily snaps off the hoe handle from the blade by using his foot to hold the blade on the dirt and bending the handle. Hoes are much sturdier that that, and if the hoe were in such a condition that it was that easy to break, it would have broken long before from hoeing dirt in the field.

At the roadblock, the pavement is wet on the overpass where the traffic is stopped, but as Poole drives away in the pickup truck, the pavement is bone dry.

When Poole pulls the stolen Ford truck into the farmer's yard, crew members and lights are visible reflected in the side of the truck. As he moves away from the truck, the cameraman is seen moving along with him.

After Poole is asked by Ed (the Honor Farm guard) if he wants to ride into town to see the sights, Poole pauses several seconds, then snaps off the hoe blade, hides it in his shirt, and walks out of the field, leaving the hoe handle behind. All this, while the guards are facing the field and waiting for him, but neither sees his actions nor questions him why he left the tool in the field.
