Geographical error: The location specified in the movie is the small town of Analin, but the main intersection signs on the highway are obviously highways 25 and 79 in Texas, which is the same as the author’s hometown and the actual shooting scene. The road signs in Torucheng are different.
Coherence: Just before Jesse and Lester go to the party, she and Duny are dressing up in the car. As she stretched her legs from the car seat, she could be seen wearing a pair of colorful flat shoes with bows. When she took off her shoes at the party, it was the shoes she was wearing without a bow.
At the end of the movie, when it is following a car, the shadow of the camera can be seen at the bottom of the screen.
Facts are wrong: At the end of the movie, when Duny returned to Analin, he came back from the army when the United States was participating in the Korean War, around 1952. His hair is too long, and it is impossible to meet the soldier's hair length limit required by military discipline. Even in today's army, his hair is still too long. In addition, he has a sideburn, which is not allowed in the army.
Anachronism: The time set in the movie is in the early 1950s, at 50 minutes and 19 seconds. When Sony passes through the town at night, it is obvious to see a car from the mid-1960s or later.
When Sony drove to Luce's house for the first time, it was possible to see the shadow of a complete camera and staff.
An anachronism: When shooting inside the restaurant, a jukebox that can be seen several times is a Wurlitzer 2000 model. The earliest production time of this type is 1956   .

    The American version of "Platform". The desolate small town of Texas, youth growth, helplessness and predicament. When color films were all the rage in the 1970s, black and white photography was deliberately used to create a sense of nostalgia under the background of the Korean War in 1951. The treatment of many bridges is a classic, and it is not outdated even now. In particular, the two episodes of the female lead undressing in the pool and the first affair between the male lead and the coach’s wife are particularly impressive.

    The "pure" and "stupid" of the past passed by together with time, and only the old movies that no longer exist in the aftertaste. 1971 should be the era of color movies, right? Deliberately black and white?

The Last Picture Show quotes

  • Sonny CrawfordDuane JacksonJacy Farrow: [singing] Whether in defeat or victory, We will always be true, Anarene High School we love you, And we'll fight for you!

  • Ruth Popper: [to Sonny] What am I doing apologizing to you? Why am I ALWAYS apologizing to you, you little bastard? Three months I've been apologizing to you without you even being here! I haven't done anything wrong. Why can't I quit apologizing? You the one ought to be sorry! I wouldn't still be in my bathrobe if it hadn't been for you. I'd have my clothes on hours ago. You're the one made me quit caring if I got dressed or not! I guess just because your friend got killed, you want me to forget what you did and make it all right? I'm not sorry for you. You'd have left Billy too, just like you left me. I bet you left him plenty of nights, whenever Jacy whistled. I wouldn't treat a dog that way. I guess you thought I was so old and ugly, you didn't owe me any explanation. You didn't need to be careful of me. There wasn't anything I could do about you and her, why should you be careful of me? You didn't love me. Look at me. Can't you even look at me?

    [long pause, as Sonny slowly turns to look at Ruth, blankly]

    Ruth Popper: See? Shouldn't have come here. I'm around that corner now. You've ruined it. It's lost completely. Just your needing me won't make it come back.
