Sabbath's bra strap goes from down to up between shots.
Hazels' position changes between shots as he talks with the landlady about being clean.
As Hawks touches Hazel's face, in the next shot he's touching Hazel's hat.
At one point Hazel Motes' car dies as he is driving on a 2-lane rural road. He happens to stop next to a religious inscription painted on a rock. He is stopped for some time. A truck driver behind him asks why he is blocking road. We see there is a long line of cars backed up behind him. Although his car had stalled and stopped, he now starts it up without any problem, makes a U-turn and drives away.
When Hazel Motes leaves his rooming house with a duffel bag, he puts the bag in the front seat. Shortly after, a sheriff's car stops him. The duffel bag is gone.
Though the narrative never states what war Hazel is returning from, the synopses for the film usually say WWII. However, all of the contemporary car and truck models that appear are from the early 70's, which would mark the film as post-Vietnam.
Toward the beginning of the movie when Hazel is in the cemetery behind his abandoned home, the headstone of Jerusha Ashfeld Motes spells 'angle' instead of 'angel' ("Gone to become an angle")
While describing Hazel's eyes, Sabbath pronounces the word "pecan" as PE-can. A drawling southern girl would have pronounced it as puh-CON.
