• There are so many goofs in this movie it becomes part of the comedy. Watch the whole cash register area, things change so much throughout the movie it's like one of those "circle all of the differences between these two pictures" puzzles. - Japhysun79

• In the scene where the boy decides he's going to go to New Orleans, he is headed across the I-40 bridge in Memphis. Then, I believe Reggie puts him in her car and they head that way. That road doesn't go to New Orleans, it goes to Little Rock and Dallas... - Lafalot

  • Correction: A lot of people think that actor Ralph Waite is laughing in the scene where the girl falls while he is struggling to keep the rope tight, while the other actor is acting accordingly...but if you have ever watched the Waltons, Ralph Waite's expressions just look like he is laughing, I think that the lights are so bright, or the sun, whatever, that he is really squeaking his face and eyes, and it just looks like he is laughing... - lisa46224

• When Stallone and Lithgow are fighting on the helicopter, you can see cables holding it up. - David

• Mid-way through the movie, Richard Dreyfus breaks a kitchen window in order to enter the house. Once he crawls through the window, he closes the window...and the glass is "magically" intact again! This was so obvious that when a friend and I saw the film during original release, we both remarked, "That's not right!" - I believe that this flub was corrected in the later "Close Encounters - Special Edition" release. - Flub Finder

• When Corky is held in the warehouse by the skinheads and has the electrodes attached to his nipples it is obvious that they are actually in front of him held up on their own. You can tell because he moves around when shocked and after, but they don't move with him. - HeyZuess

• When Mark Wahlberg shoots the Asian porn director watch the entire scene in slow motion. You will notice that the porn director gets shot before Wahlberg fires his gun, the wound disappears and suddenly he gets shot in the same place again.

• (Factual errors) A doomed character, loyal to the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte, carries a walking-stick which bears a miniature bust of Napoleon on the handle. I recall reading once that while in exile all portraits/busts of the exiled Emperor were forbidden, and to have any such item could (and would) get you jailed. There were, however, walking sticks carried by his loyal followers...but they were made to only reproduce his bust's silhouette, on the wall, when light was shone on them. You couldn't tell what the handle was when looking at it in your hand. That walking-stick is how the followers knew one another and kept their identities a secret. (DVD) - Kieth Moreland

• (Continuity) When Henry is calling Ted, the bus in the background is dirty, but earlier they had washed it, and the scene right after the call, when they met Elton John, it was clean again. (DVD) - ShakinBacon

• In the French course scene, the teacher asks a student what he has done during the weekend. The student does not understand. The teacher then says, pointing the blackboard: "Si vous aviez faites vos devoirs, vous comprendriez", which, literally translated in English, means: "If you had DO your homeworks, you would understand". Even though the pronunciation is correct, the teacher lacks his verb tenses. The right way to say it would be: "Si vous aviez FAIT..." meaning: "If you had DONE..." - Ropers Yann

• No one wears their seatbelts when they are driving their cars [or being a passenger] in the car. Have these people never heard of safety? - Sarah

• In the "Go Bama, Roll Tide" scene---the submarine in the background is only partially finished. The submarine on the way to sea in the following scene is a 688 attack sub, not a "boomer". - Thomas

• Fatal flaw in the story line. Once a release code for nuclear weapons is given, there is no command to stop it. That's one of the reasons there are so many steps to initiate a release.

• This film falls victim to a bad habit that any movie featuring guns eventually has surface. When one group of sub sailors decide to arm themselves and confront the crew members holding the control room, they "lock and load" their weapons before leaving the weapons locker. As they get closer to the control room they, again, "lock and load" their weapons. They then enter the control room, square off with their former friends, and everybody "locks and loads" their weapons again! On the second and third times these guys "L-&-L", live ammo should be thrown out from the actions of the guns, bouncing off the ceilings and walls, and rolling on the floor. Once is enough! - Kieth Moreland

• (Continuity) When Britney and her frineds are in the bathroom in the motel, the pregnant friend has pigtails and one pigtail has a disappearing/reappearing toothbrush stuck in it. - hez

• (Plot holes) Before Britney and co win "big" at kareoke, they have barely any money for four people on a road trip. The small jar of money they win at Kareoke must have been stuffed with hundreds becasue for the rest of the movie they are seen living in fancy hotels and buying lots of food and clothes. - hez

• (Plot holes) Britney's black friend had problems with her weight???? I think they should have found a less-anorexic looking actress to make that aspect of the plot believable. - hez

• After Brandon lee forces "fun-boy" to shoot himself in the leg you can see the tube pumping blood as he falls. - Crawlinded

• When Eric (Brandon Lee) is walking up the stairs to his old apartment the crow is on the banister flapping its wings. The camera moves to the side and you see the crow's shadow not moving but still hear the wings flapping. - KilljoyTheKlown

• In the part where the guy from the store (the one that Eric blew up) is in the bar, he asks for another drink. Well the bartender hands him the bottle and some other guy fills it but when he fills it, it's only like 1/4 full but when he begins drinking it, it's all the way full. - Amber

• In the pawnshop scene, Brandon Lee dumps engagement rings down the barrel of the shotgun he's holding. Don't think so! The diameter of the 12-Gauge barrel is not so large. It's actually about the same size as the standard ring finger diameter. Still a cool scene, though. (VHS) - Kieth Moreland

• In the scene where T-bird's car goes off the pier, you see that there is no engine on the chasis, no interior to the car. It's just a shell on wheels. (VHS) - Kieth Moreland

• The license plate of the car that hits Sebastian changes. - The Big J

• In the end of the movie when Sebastian is struck by a car, if you pause the movie or put it in slow motion then you can see that it is a stunt man who has like dark brown hair and looks nothing like Ryan Phillippe. It is actually pretty funny. - Kristen

• Johnny Depp's hair keeps changing shape throughout the movie between shots. E.g. in one shot his hair is scruffy because he has been in a fight and then a second later in the next, it's neatly combed back in place. - Webmaster

• I've only seen this movie once but when Cujo is rabid and about to kill his first victim (the bald mechanic), he is wagging his tail. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't dogs wag their tails when they are happy. Maybe Cujo's way of playing is by killing his playmates. - stevo
  • Info: Why do dogs wag their tails? Not a simple answer to that one according to this site.
