The "western heroes" made a valiant effort to rescue the hippie dippies from the VW's watery misfortune.

The hippies discovered that their Volkswagen bus was a poor watercraft.

After the hippies' offer to break bread, Ennis tells them that they have to make camp by sundown, with the intent of xpediting their depature.

Round 520!!
The trivia, goofs and anachronisms were plenty.
But didn't detract from the film's beauty.

Knowledgeable Steve Earle fans know that nobody had his song "Devil's Right Hand" on their jukebox in 1978 or even in 1981.  The  anachronistic song placement puts the 1987 song in a film that ends in 1983 at the latest.

The famous disappearing log is a booboo in continuity: Jack is chopping wood when Aguirre approaches to give news of his sick uncle. Jack places the next log on the chopping block as he turns to speak to Aguirre. After the conversation is over and Jack turns back to chopping, the log is gone and he replaces the log that was never chopped.

Just keeping up the continuity.

In the scene where Ennis is driving Alma Jr. home in his truck in 1979, we see a Dodge Neon in the background.  Dodge Neons were first introduced in 1994, many years later.

There were some factual errors including:

The first reunion of Jack and Ennis is on 24th September 1967. On the next day 25th, they went onto the mountains and at that night there was a full moon. However, the full moon of September 1967 should be at 18th day, not 24th or 25th.

Alma Jr. drives up to Ennis's trailer at #17 in a car featuring a beeping door-open-alert.   This feature did not show up in vehicles until much later.
