Jack Quaid in Novocaine (2025)

Goofs

Novocaine

Edit

Continuity

Mincy hands Sherry her gun in the car, but the scene cuts back to Mincy where it shows she still has her gun holstered.

Factual errors

Simon (Ray Nicholson) threatens to shoot the bank manager with a 1911 pistol that has the hammer down. A 1911 is a single-action pistol that must be cocked before it is capable of firing.
The story takes place in San Diego, California and many of the police vehicles (except one Dodge Charger) and the ambulance used later in the film are all missing a solid red light with the front emergency lights are on. In California, all law-enforcement and emergency vehicles are required to have at least one solid red light facing forward when they have their front emergency lights on.
The auto repair business is referred to as "Clark and Sons," yet the brothers said they didn't have a father in their lives. A better name would have been "Clark Brothers."

Revealing mistakes

After Simon pistol whips the bank manager in the bank robbery scene, it's clear that he's still holding the rubber prop stunt gun while delivering his dialogue.

Anachronisms

The film is set in San Diego, yet much of it was clearly shot in South Africa. This is especially evident in the police cars and taxis, which appear to be models from twenty years ago. In reality, San Diego police primarily use modern Ford Police Interceptor SUVs (Explorer-based) and sedans (Taurus-based). The older, generic non-Ford vehicles - combined with the distinctly different roads and scenery - make the setting feel noticeably inconsistent.

Errors in geography

Although fictitious, the address Nate is referred to for one of the henchmen (402 North Tower Lane) doesn't exist in San Diego - specifically in the Cortez Hill region. The main streets there are Ash, Beech, Cedar, Date, 1st through 11th Avenues, Front, Union and State. The actual address, 402 Tower Lane, is located in Escondido, forty miles outside of San Diego.
