Some of the worst entries in the Goofs section


I'm wondering if the folks who added these items even watched the movie:

In order to replace a flat tire, Cohen exits the freeway and enters a field full of oil derricks. But there are no security fences around the field to keep unauthorized persons and vehicles out. Actual oil fields are always enclosed by such fences.


They clearly drive through an open gate in a fence. Since it was early morning, it's not unreasonable that workers had already arrived on the large well site.

After noticing that his car is low on fuel, Cohen exits the freeway and stops at a gas station. While refueling the vehicle, the attendant notices much blood dripping from inside the trunk, which supposedly contains Tate's dead body. But vehicle trunks are sealed in such a manner that any liquid inside stays there; it would be nearly impossible for a large pool of blood to drip out. In addition, Tate later turns out not to be dead; a bulletproof vest stopped the bullet that was fired at him. With no bullet wound, a pool of blood would not have accumulated in the trunk in the first place.


Tate was thrown from a speeding car and rolled down the pavement for a while. Later he is shown with massive bleeding wounds to his head and knee. That is where the modest amount of blood dripping from the trunk came from.

The trunk wasn't necessarily liquid tight anymore. They made a point of commenting that the Fury was trashed inside by the original owner and that it ran like crap. So it's not unreasonable that the trunk wasn't rusted out or in general disrepair.

During the nighttime drive, Cohen pulls his car off the freeway and stops at a mailbox to deposit an envelope containing cash. But clearly there are no postage stamps on the envelope as he drops it into the box.


Clearly there are two postage stamps on the envelope when he pulls it out of his coat. The edge of the stamps are seen under his finger when he drops it in the box.
