• Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): In the motel, when Shelly confronts Natalie, the camera and its operator are reflected in the upper right-hand corner of the mirror.
• When Bernie pulls up to his motel room, just prior to discovering Natalie's injuries following Shelly's visit to their room, the faulty neon sign for the EZ Mini Market is reflected in his car's windscreen. At one point it displays EZ Mark, a reference to the earlier story about how he and Shelly used to identify potential victims for a con, marking them with chalk. At the point Natalie confesses to having been paid by Shelly to get close to him, she calls Bernie and Easy (EZ) Mark.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): During Bernie's first night with Natalie, his tie changes from looser to tighter.
• SPOILER: According to the director's commentary, the scene where Shelly breaks Larry's arm had to be re-shot. Director Wayne Kramer said the scene was shot out of focus. After having reviewed the footage, they had to re-shoot the scene, but actor Ron Livingston was already back in Los Angeles. Livingston flew back to Reno, Nevada just to re-shoot that one scene.
