Geoffrey Lewis and Ethan Suplee in My Name Is Earl (2005)

Goofs

BB

My Name Is Earl

Edit

Continuity

In the opening scene where Officer Ross drops his gun and where he retrieves it are obviously 2 different locations.
The hole in the wall is, at first, a jagged hole with insulation behind it. When Joy throws the lamp it makes a hole that is not jagged at all on one side. Later it is a jagged hole with no insulation.

Factual errors

Earl's license says that it was issued on 04-25-1970, the same day he was born. Licenses aren't issued at birth.

Revealing mistakes

When Joy picks up the lamp and throws it at Earl, the lamp cord stays on the end table. It's obvious it was not connected to the lamp.

Miscellaneous

Earl's driver license shows 39 years between issued date and expired date. No driver licenses are valid that long.

Character error

Young Gwen (Shailene Woodley) has green/brown eyes and older Gwen (Miriam Shor) has blue eyes.
