In the scene just after the courthouse, Charlie looks at a map and begins to type. He types 'We begin on State ROAD 29' but the voice over says 'We begin on State ROUTE 29'. [He could have changed it in a later draft, or it could have been changed by someone else. The screenwriter is nowhere near the last person to see the script before it goes into production.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Charlie runs into the Valerie who was meeting with Orlean in the restaurant, Charlie says that he doesn't want to meet Orlean, then runs out of the restaurant without his food that he had originally come to pick up. But in the next scene, Charlie is in his car eating his food. [Charlie is eating a hamburger in his car, he could have easily picked up food (to replace the meal he left behind) at a different place after bumping into Valerie at the restaurant.]
