As the gang leave a bank robbery in 1934, and 1940 Ford firetruck
almost hits their getaway car.
The character of Ivan Moss is referred to as "Malcolm" by Bonnie
in one of the final scenes.
The location of the shootout where Buck Barrow is wounded is
portrayed as Platte City, Iowa, both on the sign at the tourist court,
and on the Sheriff's cars (Iowa license plates, and "Platte City" door
decals). The real location was Dexter, Iowa. A small town near
Des Moines.
Blanche is eating a doughnut in the back seat during a motor
scene. It goes from one bite missing to half-gone, then mysteriously
back to one bite missing again.
While Clyde is consoling Bonnie in the field (after she tries to run
away), his hand is alternately on/off her shoulder between shots.
When CW offers Eugene back his hamburger, there are several small
bites taken out of it. When we cut to Eugene's reaction, it is one large bite.
In a scene set in 1931, Bonnie wears bikini panties, which did not exist until 1958.
While fleeing Texas law enforcement after a bank robbery, the gang drives into
Oklahoma on dry land instead of over some bridge as one might expect. The
substantial Red River forms the boundary between Oklahoma and the parts
of Texas (northeast and north-central) in which they were active criminals.
The dry-land section of the Texas-Oklahoma boundary lies to the north and
east of the Texas "Panhandle" which is quite far (about 200 miles at the least)
from any of their known bank robberies.
Near the end of the movie, as they are riding on their car, Bonnie picks up a
pear from a grocery bag and starts eating it. In the following shot, she shares
the pear with Clyde but the pear is upside down.
When Clyde enters the Ritts Groceries to make a robbery, Bonnie stays in
the middle of the street holding a cooler bottle. But when they run toward
the car the bottle disappears.
After he calls Bonnie to follow him, Clyde turns and goes to the car. Then
she calls him and points to him with her left hand, keeping her right arm by
her side. The next shot shows her with her right hand touching her own shoulder.
Otis Harris takes the gun from Davis holding it by the barrel and passes it like
this to Clyde. In the subsequent shot Clyde is holding it by the barrel too,
instead of the handle.
When Bonnie says to C.W. that the car is a "stolen four-cylinder Ford coupe",
she has her left arm leaning on the car door and the right one inside. In the
following shot she has her arms crossed on the door.
During the frustrated love scene on the bed, after he kisses Bonnie, Clyde
turns to his back and puts his left hand on his chest. Next shot he takes
his left hand from her breast.
Still on the bed, after Clyde stands up, Bonnie appears with a gun near
her face in close-up. The subsequent shows her standing up with no
gun nearby at all.
When Clyde is taking a picture of Buck and Blanche, he takes the cigar
from his mouth and holds the camera with both hands. In the next shot,
the cigar is in his mouth again.
Inside the car, when Blanche and C.W. go to buy some food, she lights
a new cigarette with the butt of the other. In the following shot the
butt has disappeared.
In the very first scene when Bonnie is flailing around her bedroom,
there is an obvious jump in film just as she begins to beat the bed
frame with her fist.
