Grindhouse Goofs/Mistakes

Movie Goof (continuity error): Segment Death Proof. When the women in the dodge charger are in pursuit of Stuntman Mike, the cracks on the windshield disappear then reappear between shots.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the car chase at the end of Death Proof, the cars are shown rubbing side by side at supposedly a high speed. However, two regulation cars of the road are shown passing the cars as they rub together, showing that was filmed at a much lower speed.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In "Planet Terror", Rose McGowan fired the gun on her leg without the aid of her hand (or anything else) to pull the trigger.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Cherry Darling is riding in El Wray's wrecker before the crash, she is wearing a sleeveless red top. In the hospital when she wakes up and realizes she has lost her leg, she is wearing a gray t-shirt. When El Wray comes into her hospital room to save her, she is wearing the red top again. She tells El Wray she can't stand, and has been laying in bed with the sheet over her head, so she didn't get up and change her own shirt, and with the chaos in the hospital, it is unlikely a nurse stopped by to change her shirt either. (This goof may be intentional by the film-makers in keeping with the 'grindhouse' feel.)
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the trailer for "Thanksgiving", the narrator establishes the setting as Massachusetts, USA. However, during the parade scene, several store signs and advertisements can briefly be seen that are written in Czech (The trailer was shot in the Czech Republic, where director Eli Roth was simultaneously filming Hostel: Part II).
Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Because 'Grindhouse' is a homage to the old low budget films of the 70's and 80's, there are many deliberate errors by the filmmakers to give an authentic Grindhouse feel.
Movie Goof (continuity error): In "Planet Terror", when the survivors are about to leave the Bone Shack, there is a lot of blood on El Wray's shirt, but when they stop outside for a brief moment in front of the Bone Shack, all the blood on his shirt disappears, and then when he pops open the trunk to Dakota's car, some blood reappears.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Deliberate mistake, perhaps, that when Jungle Julie mentions, several times, the group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch, she says Mitch instead of Mick each time.
Movie Goof (continuity error): In the final scene of "Death Proof," when the Dodge Challenger forces the Charger to spin out and crash, the Charger's rear wheels are still on the car. As the girls approach the car in the next scene, one rear wheel (driver's side) is no longer in the car.
Movie Goof (miscellaneous): SPOILER: In Death Proof, when Kurt Russell is drinking after he got shot, the amount in the bottle goes down. In the next shot it goes back up to almost half full.
