After Ava gets out of the shower and sits on the couch with Raylan, she tells him that she heard he was in the US Marshals Service from Raylan's mother before she died. Raylan's mother died when he was still a child, and he was raised by his Aunt Helen; and she is still alive at this point. This line was taken nearly verbatim from Elmore Leonard's novella "Fire in the Hole," in which Raylan's father died years earlier and there was no mention of an Aunt Helen.
When Boyd asks Raylan what he used to shoot Tommy Banks, Raylan replies "SIG 226". However, the gun Raylan uses in that shooting is a clearly a striker-fired pistol, most likely the same Glock he uses throughout the entire episode.
Timothy Olyphant looks completely different from the previous scene when he shot Peter Greene. His suit is pressed and he's clearly shaved even though it's only supposed to be several hours later.
When Boyd fires the LAW at the church, the backblast from the weapon would have broken the pickup truck windows and further damaged the truck.
A rocket explosion wouldn't have a visible orange fire, nor would it ignite a building. The effects are concussive and fragmentary, not incendiary.
Ava mentions that if she pleads guilty to manslaughter she won't have to serve prison time. However in the state of Kentucky both manslaughter charges are felonies and carry mandatory prison time. Manslaughter in the second degree is a class C felony and carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum of 10 years, manslaughter in the first degree is a class B felony and carries a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of 20 years in prison. Even Kentucky's least serious homicide charge, reckless homicide, carries a mandatory prison sentence, it is a class D felony and carries a sentence of one to five years in prison and at least 15% of the sentence must be served before parole can be considered.
After the black SUV pulls into the hotel, there is a sign outside of the auto place for PENNDOT (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation).
Standing on the bridge, a US Marshal tells Boyd that there was a rocket launcher used to blow up a church in Lexington. In the very next scene, Boyd arrives at that church but in the foreground is a Harland County Sheriff's car. However, not only is Lexington 100 miles away from Harlan, it's in Fayette County.
Boyd shoots a man he believes to be an FBI agent, in a car on the Tates Creek Bridge. There is no bridge on Tates Creek road; it is a ferry.
Boyd throws the rocket launcher from a metal truss bridge into the river below. However, there are no metal truss bridges in or near Harlan, Kentucky (film in Pittsburgh, PA).
When Raylan asks Dewey about his alligator teeth necklace, Raylan says that Dewey must have been around Lake Okeechobee. However, the entire state of Florida is full of alligators, not just one location.
Raylan Givens claims to have seen a Peter Tosh concert as a US Marshal escorting a fugitive.
Since Tosh died in 1987 and the series was set in 2010, 23 years after Tosh's death, Given would have been too young to have been a Marshal. This is especially true as Givens' birthdate was supposed to have been in 1970.
