- After one of the many police car pile ups
happens, the one where the guy is on the road
Jackie Gleason a.k.a. Buffert T. Justice pulls
up ahead of the car off to the side of the
road, gets out, leaves the car door open and
starts walking back to the wreck, then cuts
to an 18 wheeler driver coming up who's about
to take off his door, when the camera cuts
back to Jackie walking back, in the background,
the car door is shut, and in the next cut
it's open again when the 18 wheeler hits it.

- In the scene before The Bandit and Frog
jump the bridge, Bandit does a bootlegger
180 to avoid the destroyed bridge. He then
does another to avoid the oncoming deputies.
At one point, you can see there is no license
plate on the Trans Am. Goof, you bet. Earlier,
one of the kids stealing the tires off of
Frog's car said the tag was a "Georgia
plate, uh Ban-One, B-A-N-duh-duh-dash-O-N-E.
- Bandit Express
- During the movie, I believe I've heard the
trans am shifting up through the gears, but
during an in car scene you can see that it
has a shifter for an automatic transmission.

- Shortly after Burt Reynolds picks up Sally
Field she looks at the speedometer and asks
if they were really doing 110. If you look
closely she's reading it from the kph readout
not the mph which was about 70. - Garr
- One scene has the Trans Am crashing through
a grand stand at a kid's baseball game. Watch
as the car's c.b. antenna is pulled off the
roof of the car, but later reappears. - scott

- One scene shows Jackie Gleason's police
car hitting a stopped police car and knocking
it off the end of a bridge. This collision
causes the hood of Jackie Gleason's police
car to buckle upwards, but later it's isn't
buckled. - scott

- When Sally Field is driving the Trans Am
and they jump over a river in the back woods,
when the car lands on the other side you can
clearly see that a crash test dummy is in
the driver's seat. - Bob

- During the scene where Sally field asks
if they are in fact going 110 mph, look closely
at the dash on a paused DVD. The ignition
switch is off, the car in fact only going
110 kph, approx 68 mph, and if you observe
the gauges, the engine is not up to temperature,
despite his beating of the car, and it has
no oil pressure. - Chevette

- (Continuity) In several places in the movie,
dented or missing panels on the Sheriff's
brown car become present but painted black.
- Miked
- (Continuity) On Jackie Gleason's police
car, after the roof is sheared off, look at
the roof post behind the driver's door. In
later shots, it will be tall, having been
cut at the roofline, while other times it
will be sheared off at the door level. - Pointy_head
- (Plot holes) In the scene where the bandit
is driving in the rain being followed by the
snowman you can see Frog in the passenger
seat of the T/A yet the bandit hasn't picked
her up hitch-hiking yet. - parnell
