When Dr. Stone races from his office to meet the girl in the restaurant, he passes two women on the sidewalk. He then runs across the street and passes the same two women.
Doc Stone's breakfast disappears between shots when he is being offered a position by the City Council.
When Ben and Lou are slow dancing, the white ribbon in Lou's hair gets longer at the end of the dance.
When Doc is outside the cabin, a hood is seen on the back of his brown coat. When he gets inside to meet the welcoming committee, the hood is no longer visible.
When Dr. Stone first walks into the hospital, there is no time clock under Dr. Hogue's picture - but on the next visit to the hospital, at about 21 mins, we see the time clock. It's not like the time clock was put there for Dr. Stone because of his community service, as there are several other time cards present.
The judge sentences Dr. Stone to community service as a doctor because he's "a licensed physician." However, since medical licensing is by state, it is highly unlikely Stone would just happen to be licensed in South Carolina.
In delivering the baby, Stone reverses a breech birth, yet the first appendage he grabs is a leg.
Contrary to what Lou says, deer are not repelled by the scent of human urine.
Near the beginning of the film, when Ben goes outside his cabin toward the lake, there is nothing visible on the path as he sits down. After Lou emerges topless from the lake, and has her exchange with Ben, she then reaches down to pick up a robe to cover herself. The robe would have been clearly evident to Ben as he approached the lake, but there was nothing in the prior shot of the path.
Unless he mistook Hollywood, Florida, for Hollywood, California, most people traveling from D.C. to L.A. wouldn't come within 500 miles of South Carolina. However, this is Ben's first chance to see the country, which is why he is driving. There is no reason why he would want to drive the most direct route.
When Mayor Nick first meets the Doc, he's wearing a Grady Gourd costume because he "rushed on over from practice" for the parade. However, he's the Grand Marshall, riding in a convertible with his daughter. But that is only the parade. There would obviously be some sort of performance that evening.
In the beginning of film, during titles, Stone is driving and stops in traffic. He is wearing a dark brown jacket, but as he stands up to view traffic the jacket has disappeared. But there is no reason why he might not have taken it off. It is not meant as a continuous shot.
During the boat scene, dim images of the background fireworks are seen playing across the front of the actors.
The fireworks are not in the background. They are directly above them and the sparks are close enough to attract mullet, thus the flashes of light are being reflected on Ben and Lou's faces.

When Kyle and Mary Owens come to see Dr. Stone to have him read their mail, they say it's because they can't read. Later, when Mary is giving birth and Kyle goes to Dr. Stone's car to get shirts, Kyle is able to read the Armani label.
Kyle obviously does this with great difficulty and being able to barely sound out one word is different from reading an entire letter.

When Lou drives Ben to his house call, she steps out of the ambulance, and a cushion (from where the accelerator and brake pedals would be) falls out of the door.
At the trial, the flags behind Judge Evans are improperly placed, with the National Colors, a.k.a., American flag on the right, instead of the left. And the South Carolina flag is on the left, instead of its proper place on the right.
Ben destroys a fence the judge is in the middle of painting, but although the pickets are covered in wet paint, there is no paint on Ben's Porsche.
When Dr. Stone is giving the injection to the guy fighting with the other one during the house call montage, you can see water (or a liquid substance) splashing to the ground, showing that it's not a real needle and not a real injection.
During the opening credits, you can see the reflection of the camera/crane on the car Dr. Stone is driving. It appears in the lower left corner of the screen for about one second.
In the hospital lounge, Ben says he's looking for someone named Lou who drives an ambulance, but no one told him she drives an ambulance. Nurse Packer only said that Lou would show him around.
Ben hands Lou a small bouquet of pink flowers, which she informs him are protected because they are the state flower. South Carolina's state flower is actually Carolina jessamine, which is a yellow flowering vine.
When Dr. Hogue is having his heart attack and Dr. Stone uses the defibrillator paddles on him, he tells Nurse Packard to set the machine to "400 Watts." Defibrillation magnitude is measured in joules and/or watt-seconds. While older defibrillators could deliver a maximum of 400 joules the model defibrillator shown in the film (a Physio-Control LifePak 5) could only deliver a maximum of 360 joules.
