Goofs for
Bandits (2001) More at IMDbPro »

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Joe and Kate appear to switch sides in bed - but one of the shots is as seen in the mirror and there is no continuity error.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: As Joe and Terry are leaving the first bank they rob, you can briefly see spectators standing behind a barrier with cameras, gawking and taking pictures of the stars.
  
  
• Continuity: A sign saying "Bay View Bank" (the real name of the bank they used for filming) is briefly visible as Joe and Terry rob the "San Andreas Bank".
  
  

• Continuity: When Joe is alone in the room boxing the pillow dummy, he throws it into the corner knocking the lamp off the table. In the next cut the table and lamp are undisturbed.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the opening scene in the LA bank, Joe fires his shotgun into the ceiling. He ejects the spent shotgun shell; the sound heard on the sound track is a handgun or rifle cartridge case hitting the floor.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Joe and Terry break out of prison, just before they smash through the front gate, a black container with glass in front (housing a camera) and silver cables can be seen on the ground behind the gate from one angle.
  
  
• Continuity: When Joe gets knocked in the boxing ring at the jail, his right hand jumps from resting on his hip to being on the floor between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When Joe and Terry are robbing the bank with the big dollar bill as a curtain, Joe asks the manager to do the "all clear" which is to turn George Washington inside. On the next security camera shots, the dollar bill curtain is in its initial position.
  
  
• Continuity: When Joe and Terry are spending night with Cheri and Phil after escaping from prison, a coffee cup changes position when Cheri hands it to Joe in the morning.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Terry and Joe arrive at a bankers house and announce to the banker that they are going to rob his bank, the banker faints (or spontaneously falls asleep due to narcolepsy). You can see the corner of the mat that he falls on.
  
  
• Continuity: When Joe And Terry are in Phil's Toyota they go to meet Harvey at his place, while their conversation is taking place the "Toyota" emblem on the front grill of the vehicle repeatedly disappears and reappears between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: At the bar when Terry gets out of his seat the chair falls. A minute later the chair is back up again.
  
  

• Factual errors: SPOILER: At the end of the movie with the bank robbery when Joe and Terry shoot each other dead, the SWAT Team and the paramedics storm the building and Joe's cousin and girlfriend (posing as paramedics) go in and put Joe and Terry in body bags and take them away. When there's a shootout during a bank robbery and there are dead bodies, there has to be a doctor come in to officially declare them dead in order to prevent the possibility of the two men faking their deaths so that they can be declared dead and get away with the crime. Also, right after the police stormed the building there has to be a full investigation of the robbery before any dead bodies can be moved from the scene of the crime.
