“Driving Miss Daisy” Goofs List
- Continuity: Hoke arrives at Miss Daisy’s on the day of the ice storm. As Miss Daisy walks across the room, there is a window behind her and it looks like a green leafy tree can been seen outside. It looks like it is a very cold snowy day so unless the tree is a pine or fir, it looks like spring or summer. Also there is no ice or snow on the tree.
- Anachronisms: Just before Miss Daisy’s first ride with Hoke, she walks down her street past a house that has multiple skylights, a type and style which didn’t exist until 30 years later.
- Continuity: The bombing of The Temple in Atlanta took place in 1958, yet is shown as occurring in 1966 or later (because it is shown after the scene in which Boolie receives an award in 1966).
- Anachronisms: The baking soda box on the kitchen counter has the reminder calendar showing, which was printed later than the era of the movie.
- Continuity: When Hoke is driving Miss Daisy through the backwoods of a long trip, he is driving a 1955 Cadillac, but in the long shots it’s a 1956 Cadillac (see ‘trivia).
- Factual errors: In the very early scene where Miss Daisy is inside starting her car it is a 1949-1953 Chrysler. The car shown backing over the wall from the outside is a 1946-1948 Chrysler.
- Miscellaneous: Outside the car dealership, two cars are driving in the same direction through the intersection, one in front of the other, but the car ahead goes straight through the intersection in a left-hand turning lane, without causing an accident or any honking horns.
- Anachronisms: Just after Hoke comes to Miss Daisy’s and is trying to stay busy, he is working outside in her zinnia bed. Miss Daisy bangs on the upstairs window to get him to stop. The window has Plexiglass in it, and doesn’t make the sound that single-pane window glass of the period would have if someone banged on it with their knuckles.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Hoke and Miss Daisy are eating lunch while stopped beside the road, just before the policemen approach there is a crew member clearly reflected in the car door.
- Continuity: When Daisy is telling Hoke about the first time she went to Mobile, the reflection of his arms and hands in the car door don’t match the cuts back to him standing next to the car.
- Revealing mistakes: When Hoke gets back into the car after being questioned by the police, there is foliage from two different trees grouped together, visible in the reflection of the window; probably so the audience can see Hoke through the glass. Then in the long shot of the car pulling away, there are no trees or plants close enough to the car to have caused those reflections.
- Factual errors: When they are stopped eating lunch on the way to Mobile, they had just commented on how they just crossed into Alabama. The policemen that question them are Georgia Patrolmen (patch on sleeve).
- Factual errors: At the King dinner, Martin Luther King, Jr. can be heard saying, “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” This was published in the Letter from a Birmingham City Jail essay, but probably wouldn’t have been spoken by MLK himself at a speaking engagement since he usually prepared other speeches and sermons.
- Continuity: When Hoke is driving Miss Daisy home after the temple bombing, he passes a parked blue and white pickup and nearby black sedan, visible through his window, twice.
- Anachronisms: The American flag in the Cadillac showroom has 50 stars (there were 48 states in 1955).
- Continuity: Hoke drives past the same house with the same truck in front of it twice in in fifteen seconds when going home from the temple.
- Boom mic visible: Scene where Miss Daisy and her son talk about Martin Luther King.
- Anachronisms: When Hoke is eating while sitting at the kitchen table, there is a bottle of hot sauce on the table. The bottle cap can be seen to have a tamper-proof seal in place. Those weren’t used at that time.
