The Final picture

Continuity mistake: After Dave stabs Ravi, the shot cuts to Kurtis running through the woods trying to escape. Ravi (in the clown costume) is seen among the ones pursuing him, but he's either dead or dying at this point, and, obviously, cannot chase someone while riding an ATV. It's a recycled shot from when Tommy was attempting to escape.

Suggested correction: It isn't Ravi on the ATV. Towards the beginning you see Dane on the stairs talking to 3 students, a little later on in the cafeteria you see the same 3 students sitting at a table and the shots keep switching between them and Dane and his friends, and Dane says something like "and they will be in the woods dressed in the same outfits/costumes as us." It's meant to confuse the cops when they show up.

Let Me In picture

Continuity mistake: When Abby slaughters the bullies, we see most of the scene from Owen's underwater point of view. First, a decapitated head floats down, leaving a trail of blood. Then, more dismembered bodies splash into the water. We get the sense that the pool water around Owen should be pretty bloody. Yet, when he surfaces, the water around him is completely clear, with no evidence of any blood or bodies.

Undisputed III: Redemption picture

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, after Boyka gets out of the car with the briefcase, Turbo gets out after him and has a conversation. When Turbo goes back to the car, you see Boyka standing on the side of the road. There is only that one road in all the shots. In the next close up shot of the car door closing, and the car moving, we see the car getting out on to the road from a small by-lane (of sorts)! Where did this road come from? How did the car move places?

Continuity mistake: When Stern is cutting Gutterman loose and they're at Rachel's desk, Gutterman is right behind Stern, close enough to touch the desk and sets his hat on it. The shot changes and Gutterman is now further away, not even in arm's reach of the desk.

Somewhere picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film, Johnny is shown driving onto the freeway northbound from Hollywood, then shows him in Calabasas, and then Thousand Oaks. That route takes him in a westbound direction, however, the section of freeway he's on in Calabasas is going eastbound (not westbound like he should be). Next, in Thousand Oaks, he's properly going westbound again.
