BOOM: In the diner scene, a shadow on the wood panel between the booths. Continuity: The watch shown thrown on the ground is a cheap Timex, yet Wyatt wears a Rolex. Continuity: SPOILER: Wyatt's bike stops too quickly at the end of the film. Continuity: SPOILER: In the last helicopter shot, you should be able to see the pickup truck driving away on the road, as Wyatt has just been shot, but there is no car on the road. Crew: In the commune Billy walks in front of one of the tents and the bright sunlight of the reflector moves with him on the tent. As he walks back the it follows him back. Continuity: The scene just before he throws away his watch is a mirror image. The bike appears to be leaning to the right on the kickstand (instead of the left) and his jacket has stripes down the right side but in the rest of the movie they're down the left side. Continuity: While the hitch-hiker is guiding Wyatt & Billy down the dirt road to the commune, Wyatt's helmet jumps back and forth on the back of the bike between shots. Continuity: In the diner, George Hanson enters wearing his football helmet. When he begins to sit down, his reflection in the mirror shows him rubbing his eyes. The next shot shows him just sitting and the helmet is already on the table. Continuity: After Wyatt asks the farmer permission to repair the motorcycle tire in the barn, the cowboy who is shoeing a horse puts his left arm on the horse's back. Between shots he appears with his both arms by his sides. Fact errors: Wyatt and Billy are going to the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans. This indicates that they are traveling in either late January or early February, given that Mardi Gras usually takes place in mid February. Despite this, and despite the number of states they drive through, the men never drive through an area of cold weather. Many of the characters they meet are wearing summer style clothes, and the weather is most obvious in New Mexico, where the winters can be extremely hard with lots of snow. Crew: In the scene when the main characters are with George outside the police station, as Billy hands over the bottle of liquor and drinks it, the boom mic is reflected in his sun glasses. BOOM: In the jail scene where they first meet George, you can see the shadow of the boom mic on the wall as George and Billy walk across the jail cell after Billy is given a cigarette by the guard. Crew: In one of the riding across the bridge montage scenes, you can see the camera man filming from the trunk of a car, in the reflection of Wyatt's sunglasses. Revealing mistakes: Flipped shot: in the first shot of Wyatt with the motorcycle, the "Captain America" jacket is seen in reverse - the vertical strip is on the left side of the chest and in the last second when he departs, the flag is reversed too. Crew: When Wyatt and Billy ride off from the farm, where they fix the tire, a shadow of the camera is cast on Billy. |

Captain America: I'm hip about time. George Hanson: You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it. Billy: Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man. George Hanson: They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em. Billy: Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut. George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom. Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about. George Hanson: Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. Billy: Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared. George Hanson: No, it makes 'em dangerous. Buh, neh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Swamp! George Hanson: [Drinking his Jim Beam] Here's the first of the day, fellas! To old D.H. Lawrence. [He starts flapping one arm like a chicken] Neh! Neh! Neh! Fuh! Fuh! Fuh! Indians. George Hanson: [Seeing his first marijuana cigarette] Lord have mercy! Is that what that is? George Hanson: [holding up a business card] The governor of Louisiana gave me this. Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights, corner of Bourbon and Toulouse, New Orleans, Louisiana. Now, this is supposed to be the finest whorehouse in the south. These ain't no pork chops! These are U.S. PRIME! Captain America: No, I mean it, you've got a nice place. It's not every man that can live off the land, you know. You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud. George Hanson: I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Billy: We did it, man. We did it, we did it. We're rich, man. We're retirin' in Florida now, mister. Captain America: You know Billy, we blew it. George Hanson: They'll talk to ya and talk to ya and talk to ya about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. George Hanson: What's "dude"? Is that like "dude ranch"? Captain America: Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person. Billy: Where ya from man? Stranger on the Highway: Hard to say. Stranger on the highway: I'm from the city... Doesn't matter what city; all cities are alike. Billy: Well, why'd you mention it then? Stranger on the highway: 'Cause I'm FROM the city; a long WAY from the city, and that's where I wanna be right now. Billy: [after being flaked off by a motel manager] You asshole! Captain America: [reading inscription] If god did not exist it would be necessary to invent him. Billy: [while smoking a Joint] Oh wow! What? Who's that man? What the hell was that, man? Captain America: Huh? Billy: [nervous] No, man, like hey, man. Wow. I was watching this object man, li-like the satellite that we saw the other night, right? And, like, it was going right across the sky, man, and then... I mean it just suddenly, uh, it just changed direction and went whizzin right off, man. It flashed... Captain America: [interupting him] You're stoned out of your mind, man. Captain America: It's grass. Captain America: Have you gotta helmut? George Hanson: Have I gotta helmut? Ha ha ha! |
