Shirley sets up a "date" for her friend Marjorie with Joe Buck at 8:30, Thursday. Joe then collects his $20 from Shirley and leaves her place. But Shirley never gives him Marjorie's address or telephone number.
When Hoffman (Ratso) says (yells) his famous "I'M WALKIN' HERE!" dialogue, he completely loses the nasal tone in his voice. He subsequently eases back into it, with his next lines to Joe at first not without a nasal sound or quality, then it comes back.
On the bus, near the end of the movie, Ratso is covered in sweat, with it running down his face, yet, 50 seconds later, his skin is shiny, but no beads of sweat are visible.
A minute later, after Joe calls the bus driver, Ratso is once again covered in sweat.

When Joe Buck is hungry and destitute, he stops in a diner and sits with a weird mother and son. The son looks at the tracking camera twice before dialogue resumes.
The entire flashback scene when Joe is sitting on his grandma's porch after her death is playing backwards. He spits something at the end (beginning) of the scene, and that reveals the action is in reverse.
Ceilingless set and lighting equipment can be briefly seen in several shots in Cass' bedroom.
As the bus Joe Buck rides approaches New York, the view focuses on the Statue of Liberty. However this shot is from the New Jersey Turnpike's Holland Tunnel-Newark Bay Extension (Interchange 14C) going southbound, away from New York. Minutes later in the same scene, the view from the bus shows the Midtown Manhattan skyline as it enters the Lincoln Tunnel.
After Joe Buck's encounter with Towny, he and Ratso board the bus to Miami. But the bus then enters the south tube of the Lincoln Tunnel, which only carries eastbound traffic into New York.
Joe would have passed the Seville Motel before the Chateau Renaissance Motel going to New York City. In the film, the sequence is reversed.
Joe Buck tells Rizzo that Hansel and Gretel's invitation is for "a party."
However, not only does the invitation not say the event is a party at all, it also does not give the date of the event.
