Trivia
On the set of the earlier Clint Eastwood movie The Enforcer (1976), Eastwood entertained the crew by singing and playing piano between camera set-ups. Publicity for this picture reported that Eastwood said "I'm a self-taught ragtime player. I like to relax by playing some barrelhouse after I've been shooting 'em up on the set. I try to sing along at times, too, but singing is not really my bag. I can sing only fairly". Eastwood sings frequently in Honkytonk Man (1982).

Goofs
Ryman Auditorium is used as the setting for the Opry. This venue was not used until the 1940s, and the movie takes place in the 1930s.

The guitar Red Stovall is playing is a Gibson L-5C manufactured around the 1970s. Although Gibson launched the L-5 in 1922, the particular instrument Red plays in the movie is definitely not from the era the movie was set in. The L-5P was launched in 1939 and was superseded by the L-5C in 1948. The letter "C" in L-5C stands for "cutaway" whereas the letter "P" in L-5P stands for "premiere". The tuners and the "Gibson" logo on the guitar's headstock are distinctly 1970s.

Red Stovall: Mary was right to go back to her husband. What the hell did I have to offer a kid? Just honky-tonks and flop-houses. That's the life of a country singer, Hoss. Sound good to you?
