The Death & Life of John F. Donovan picture

Plot hole: When Rupert brought his "secret pen pal" letters from Hollywood movie star John to school, they were stolen by some classmate bullies (and apparently never recovered). Rupert would have been around age 11 (possibly 12) at the time. It is inconceivable that a child could recall enough details from the letters to write a book about them 10 years later.

Anthem of a Teenage Prophet picture

Revealing mistake: Most of the car scenes entailed rain on the windows even though it otherwise had not been and was not raining, indicating the scenes were filmed on a rainy day. For example: Mary driving home; picking up Todd to go to the funeral; driving home from the church; driving back from rock climbing; and, Faith's car when she got to Luke's house. (00:17:35 - 01:34:12)

Looking Glass picture Looking Glass mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: During the opening while Ray and Maggie are driving at night, you can see the lighting equipment for the green screen reflected in Ray's glasses. And throughout the entire movie, these green screens and other production lights can be seen reflected in his glasses in several different scenes. (00:04:00)

The Clovehitch Killer picture

Continuity mistake: The clothes Tyler and Kassi were wearing at Kassi's house were not the same when Kassi came to dinner that day at the Burnside's house. It seems unlikely that BOTH would change clothes before dinner. (00:31:49 - 00:32:40)

Suggested correction: Apparently they did. It was probably Tyler's idea, presenting Kassi in the best possible light to assuage suspicion and maintain his image as a good Christian Boy Scout.

Continuity mistake: In the basement when the girls are talking, one mentions to Chloe that she and Carl would make an adorable couple. Chloe's left arm is stretched up above her head in this shot.

Benched picture

Continuity mistake: The position of Don's baseball cap on the table changes two times. Initially, the cap is near the corner of the table with the visor and letter "P" roughly parallel to the front of his body. After he pours beer into his glass, the visor is angled more toward the corner of the table (even though the camera appears to pan around it). When Don brings Mike back to the table, the cap visor is pointed toward Don and is at a differently angle (more parallel to the front of his body again). (00:00:09 - 00:01:47)
