Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the scene where Mays promises to drive Mr. Hawkins to work if the bus line gets shut down, the clock on the wall is stopped.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mays is wrestling, we see a sign that says "Mays for Pres" being held up in the crowd. In the next few shots, the same sign is upside down.
Rock got the idea for this story from the 1984 Walter Mondale/Geraldine A. Ferraro ticket, in which the democrats thought that since they had no chance of winning against Ronald Reagan/George Bush, they might as well make a historic first so they can win support for the next election. So they ran Ferraro as the first ever woman vice president candidate for their party (and lost).
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the scene where Californians are rushing to vote, extras can be seen running out from BETWEEN the houses, instead from inside the houses.
