When Cherry Darling is riding in El Wray's wrecker before the crash, she is wearing a sleeveless red top. In the hospital when she wakes up and realizes she has lost her leg, she is wearing a gray t-shirt. When El Wray comes into her hospital room to save her, she is wearing the red top again. She tells El Wray she can't stand, and has been laying in bed with the sheet over her head, so she didn't get up and change her own shirt, and with the chaos in the hospital, it is unlikely a nurse stopped by to change her shirt either. (This goof may be intentional by the film-makers in keeping with the 'grindhouse' feel.)
Segment Death Proof. When the women in the dodge charger are in pursuit of Stuntman Mike, the cracks on the windshield disappear then reappear between shots.
(at around 29 mins) There is a shot of the table with Jungle Julia, Shanna, and Dov. Eli Roth (Dov) has been replaced by another actor/stand-in.
In the final scene of "Death Proof", during Stuntman Mike roll of his Dodge, the driver's door remains closed on the car. Afterwards, the door suddenly becomes wide open, touching the fender as Mike is dangling his left side outside of the car while he's weeping in agony.
In the final scene of "Death Proof," when the Dodge Challenger forces the Charger to spin out and crash, the Charger's rear wheels are still on the car. As the girls approach the car in the next scene, one rear wheel (driver's side) is no longer in the car.
The girls at the convenience store mentioned Red Bull. The movie is set in the 60s/70s but Red Bull didn't come out until 1987.
The presence of cell phones and characters' use of text messaging makes it pretty clear the film is set in 2007, when the film was released. Grindhouse is an homage to films of the 1960s/'70s but neither film was set in the past and both make it pretty clear they're set in the present.

Because 'Grindhouse' is a homage to the old low budget films of the 70's and 80's, there are many deliberate errors by the filmmakers to give an authentic Grindhouse feel.
During the car chase at the end of Death Proof, the cars are shown rubbing side by side at supposedly a high speed. However, two regulation cars of the road are shown passing the cars as they rub together, showing that was filmed at a much lower speed.
In the trailer for "Thanksgiving", the narrator establishes the setting as Massachusetts, USA. However, during the parade scene, several store signs and advertisements can briefly be seen that are written in Czech (The trailer was shot in the Czech Republic, where director Eli Roth was simultaneously filming Hostel: Part II (2007)).
(at around 20 mins) The supposed dead guy moves his head when the doors burst open.
Deathproof - at 1h 26m the camera rises up as if on a jig, hits the limit, and bounces down a little. They chose to not cut this out as they wanted the remaining long shot to show the cars driving into the distance.
In "Planet Terror", 43min 16sec, a crane arm used to light the set is visible at the far end of the set.
Shot left in to help the low cost feel to the film.
During the opening scene of "Planet Terror" where Cherry is dancing, there is a mirror in the background, in which, you can see the crew filming.
At the market at the start of the second half the sign above the store includes liquor and wine, but in Tennessee grocery stores do not sell wine or liquor.
Deliberate mistake, perhaps, that when Jungle Julie mentions, several times, the group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch, she says Mitch instead of Mick each time.
