Goofs
Off tempo clapping and clapping which can be heard, but not executed by the initial protagonist. This could be deliberate mistake. In the shot where Bobby starts to hand clap on "Dueling banjos", he does it in the wrong tempo, being to early and to fast. In the next shot, the clapping is in correct tempo. When the camera shows Bobby again latter, the clapping can be heard, but it look's like Bobby is only listening and observing.
Crazy Credits
In the opening credits there is an obvious typo. About the main song first is written: "'Duelling Banjos' Arranged and played by Eric Weissberg with Steve Mandel". Right after that follows "The song 'Dueling Banjos' is an arrangement of the song 'Feudin' Banjos', copyright owner - Combine Music Corp."
