Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jessica is in the shower crying and the power goes out, she gets out, puts on a white t-shirt and goes walking around the house. When she walks through the garage door and grabs a hammer, there is blood on the front of the t-shirt (right at or a little lower than her waist and looks like someone grabbed the shirt with a bloody hand). Where did it come from? She didn't run into anything or anyone. [There's a deleted scene showing her step on a piece of glass. She gets blood on her hands when she pulls the glass out, then presumably wipes her hands on her shirt. Still a mistake, as removing that scene means the blood appears from nowhere, but there's the reason.]

1408 picture

Continuity mistake: As Mike scrolls through the microfilm, we see his view as the pages scroll from right to left. The shot then reverses to show his face through the scrolling film, but while the film is now properly reversed, it's still moving right to left in our view. But this reversed angle should show it moving left to right. (00:12:05)
