Goofs

At Brandon's birthday party, John sits down by Brandon, and Brandon's cigarette jumps from behind his left ear to his right and back between shots.

The court summons Candace finds in the trash can (for which Brandon traveled to Lincoln) says "Hunt County." The courthouse building that Brandon walks into to pay the traffic ticket ALSO says "Hunt County." That would mean that Brandon walked into the very same courthouse where the bench warrant was earlier issued, but the sheriff tells Brandon that "this is what the Lincoln authorities faxed us over."

When Lana is talking to Candace and Kate about the first time she had sex with Brandon, she throws herself down on her bed, and puts her hands on her face. Her right hand is in front of her left hand, but in the next shot, they have swapped, and her left is in front of her right.

The cuts and bruises on Brandon's face change while he talks to Lana inside the shack.

When Mom reads the paper which shows Brandon's real name, she reads out "Teena Brandon age 19", yet when you see what she is reading it shows no age.

The movie suggested that Lana was present when John and Tom kill Brandon and Candace but the real life incident. Lana was not present when John and Tom killed Brandon and Candace (Lisa, the victim's real name).

It's said to be 1327 miles to Memphis. From Falls City, NE, it's about half that.

October 27, 1993 fell on a Wednesday, not a Friday.

The "Dustless Highway" is shown in the movie as a dirt road where all this dust covers the cars as they drive. In fact, the "Dustless Highway" is a paved county road.

The real life incident when John and Tom rape Brandon happened on Christmas Eve in 1993 when they dragged him out of a Christmas party, but in the movie, there were no Christmas decorations or even no conversations about Christmas and the rape happened after John and Tom forced Brandon to remove his pants and reveal his genitals to Lana.

Near the beginning of the movie when Brandon's wallet spills to the floor, his license clearly is an Iowa driver's license. Yet towards the end after the rape scene, Brandon tells Lani she has never left Lincoln, Nebraska. In fact, it is common for fake ids (which Brandon has) to be out-of-state ids, since this makes authentication more difficult.

With all the care that Brandon takes to appear male, this would certainly include NOT shaving his legs.

When the guys pull Brandon's pants down to prove he's a she, the tan line of a very feminine French-cut bikini can be seen.

In one scene, a video for "Don't Want You" by the Lunachicks is playing. The video and album were released in 1997.

While the movie was set in 1993, some of the characters were seen drinking Celis Pale Rider Ale, which was not introduced until 1997.

When Brandon walks through the convenience store, a rack of chips which includes packets of Lay's with the 1996 logo is seen despite taking place in 1993.

When Brandon is in the gas station. There's Pepsi bottles in the cooler and the bottles are blue when Pepsi had the white bottle in 1993.

When Brandon is getting on with the crowd and they have their cars driving around in circles in the dust, the shadow of the film crew can be seen.

When the girls (and Brandon) go on a trip to Kansas City, the Dallas skyline can be seen.

Brandon goes into a building that says Hunt County on it to pay his ticket, but there's no Hunt County in Nebraska; however, there is one in Texas where the movie was filmed.

This film is said to take place in Nebraska. When the girls are driving down the highway at night, the Dallas skyline is clearly visible.

Brandon's note to Candace is missing the apostrophe in "I'll".
