Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): Throughout the film, Captain Tanner's unmarked blue Dodge Polara is shown to have full-size factory hubcaps. When he is crashed into by the local sheriff trying to "76" the hi-jacked patrol car, Tanner jumps out and the car now has typical police dog dish hubcaps.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): There is an Exxon station shown near the prison. The movie is based on events of May 1969. Standard Oil did not change Esso to the Exxon brand until 1973.
Movie Goof (continuity error): While Lou Jean is shopping through the mail-order catalog in the car, the gold stamps behind her in the back seat disappear, then reappear between shots.
Director Trademark: {Steven Spielberg} [images seen in a side mirror] The patrol cars following Lou Jean and Clovis.
