Indiana license plates are numbered by county. While the movie takes place in St. Joseph county (as indicated by patches on the sheriff's uniform), neither Lucia's nor Bill's plates match that county (or any neighboring ones).

When Randy knocks Dede against a "stone wall", they give way because they're made of some kind of foam.

The geography of the drive from South Bend to Detroit to Canada is very flat and rural. The film shows huge mountains, lakes, and forests, none of which are present in northern Indiana and southern Michigan, which are about as flat as any place can be, and full of farms. Also, southern Ontario looks nothing like Big Bear, where the cabin scenes were filmed.

Quotes
Matt Mateo: I've never tried communism, but I know I wouldn't like that. It's the same thing. Or grits.

Girl Student: This is America, and we're Christians here - aside from a few Jewish people who were just born that way - and I can tell you one thing: Jesus Christ and his apostles were certainly not into "man-on-man action," which is how they describe it on their porno videos, which, I am proud to say, Blockbuster does not carry. Um, I work there and it's very family...

Q
Who is the father of Dede's baby?
A
It's Randy; in spite of his deformation! This is revealed when she takes the hidden money from Matt -- which is hidden on top of the ceiling fan -- at gunpoint. Until that point, we think it's Matt. This theory is dispelled during the scene in the restaurant when Lucia says then by looking at her, she can tell then Dede is in her 2nd trimester. According to the movie's time-line, Dede and Matt had sex much less than 6 months before the restaurant scene. So, it could not possibly be Matt's baby.
Q
How many husbands did Dede's mother have?
A
At least 3. Bill's father; Dede's father; and Dede's step-father whose funeral occurs at the beginning of the movie. Although Dede never says that her biological parents were actually married, nor that her mother was married to Bill's dad. We assume this to be the case; that Dede & Bill are not bastards! Although we say partner nowadays for a man & a woman who have a baby together, but husband is the more assumed term. She could easily have been with another man in between the births of her 2 children and after Dede's step-father's death. But this is not depicted, nor referenced; hence, at least 3.
