Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): The people singing along with "You Are My Sunshine" near the end are clearly a few beats off. Their clapping syncs up but they're singing a different line.
The bluegrass trio, The Peasall Sisters, provided the singing voices for George Clooney's daughters, the Wharvey Girls, but didn't appear in the film. They were told they didn't look pitiful enough to get the part (according to their documentary, The Peasall Sisters: Family Harmony (2005) (V)).
Movie Goof (continuity error): In the overhead shot of people walking into the river from behind them, the preacher and the person being baptized are deep in a tree shadow. When Delmar emerges some the same place and declares that the "preacher has washed his sins away", the shadow has moved several feet away from the preacher.
Movie Goof (continuity error): After the flood, Everett, Delmar, and Pete find themselves drifting on the coffin. You can tell that they are either are being pulled/pushed up stream or they are not moving at all; the debris and broken trees are floating downstream pass them as they converse.
