In the scene where the jail warden's grand daughter has her baby and he is shocked to see that he is African-American, he goes to the jail to find out who the father is. She had just had her baby but when he holds the baby up to each inmate, that baby is at least 6-9 months old. [Child labor laws severely restrict the hours children are allowed on set, particularly newborns. So it's common for films to use 6-9 month olds to "play" newborns. So common that it can't really be considered a mistake, alas.]

Mistakes
As Ray is fighting the big inmate over the cornbread, Ray falls over, revealing a yellow patch on the bottom of his boot. That patch is the trademark of a Vibram sole. Vibram started using the yellow patch in 1965. The scene takes place in the 1920s. See more...
Trivia
Fun to spot - In the scene where Eddie Murphy is fighting the big guy, after a while he says, "I know a bitch named Della who hit harder than you." Here, he is referring to Della Reese, whom he fought with in Harlem Nights. See more...

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 Claude and Ray supposedly commit murder and are sentenced to life in the pen, it's 1932. When the movie goes to 1972 the caption shows they have only been in prison for 28 years. After being in prison for 28 years the year should be 1960 and not 1972. [They were sentenced in 1932, but the 28 years later is from the point that they fight last. A good amount of years passed before that happened. I believe it was at least 12 years.]
