Goofs

When Lucas is in the casino at the craps table, after winning the first roll, he picks up the dice and then goes into his "save the empire" speech. After stating he would buy the table a drink if he wins again, the table attendant pushes the dice over to him.

At the end of the film, when Eddie and Mark are talking about bands, they discuss Henry Rollins. Eddie incorrectly credits Henry Rollins as the lead singer for The Misfits. Rollins was the lead for Black Flag. Glen Danzig was the lead for the Misfits.

When Mark is putting the table together, the poster is put in upside down; yet it is up the right way when Rex first walks out to greet his fans.
