In the scene where John (Cash) is going up to June's house after he has been in a 'funk' for about a year or so, he says, "Hi Carlene" and then she runs in the house to tell her mother John is at the door. She is also referred to as "Carlene" throughout the movie. Carlene was born as Rebecca Carlene Carter and wasn't referred to as Carlene until her late 20's when her music career started. Until then it was always Rebecca. [This film is a dramatization of the life of Johnny Cash, not a documentary. This isn't even really artistic license, let alone a movie mistake.]

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.

How come at a time when Johnny Cash doesn't have enough money to pay his telephone bill, he's able to buy a house? [Because paying a telephone bill requires money "in hand," which he didn't have. Whereas buying a house is generally done with a loan; which many a bank may have been happy to give to the famous Johnny Cash.]
During the scene late in the film where Johnny is looking through fan mail, the camera comes in close on several of the return addresses to show that they are mostly from inmates. One has a return address for "State Penn.(sic), Austin, TX 78756". The state penitentiary in Texas is located in Huntsville, 45 miles north of Houston, not in Austin. And the zip code provided is that of an incredibly exclusive neighborhood in Austin called West Lake Hills (home of Sandra Bullock and Michael Dell); not exactly the place even a fictional state prison would be located. [Not really a mistake since real addresses are rarily, if ever used.
