Deliberate mistake: While walking bare-footed in the barn looking for RJ, Wayne does not raise his feet very high - that is, until he is about to tramp on the nail that is perpendicular to the floor. If Wayne had kept walking like he had been, he might have bumped into the nail or object holding it up, but not got punctured by the nail. (01:06:40)
Deliberate mistake: The blades on the tiller or harrow (?) were only a few inches apart when Burkett was falling back onto them, but only one blade went through his chest. Burkett's body was wide enough for at least three blades to penetrate. Also, the blade appeared to be exiting in the center of his chest (along the button line of his shirt), but the close-up showed the blade to his right. (00:19:40)
Deliberate mistake: After Sam freed Gary from being tied up by the aliens, Gary pulled off the cast he got earlier that day and was able to use his left arm as though it had never been broken. (00:45:43)
Deliberate mistake: In the dark, dilapidated house, Margaret asked Abby, "What's that?" and Abby was able to illuminate a large portion of the room with a disposable lighter. (00:16:35)
Deliberate mistake: Blood does - but should not - drain out of deceased Mitch's mouth when he is placed on the couch and his head falls over because Oliver gets up. (00:30:10)
Deliberate mistake: There is one vertical board missing between the other parallel boards, but the upper half of the gap is wider and forms a "V" when Mark is videotaping Jenna (who is on the other side of the fence). The missing board, between two parallel boards, has a uniform width from top to bottom. (00:08:40)
Deliberate mistake: Abraham is sitting to the right of and slightly behind the cross he hammered into the ground, but is about 3' away. When there is a close-up, Abraham is much closer to the cross - the end of the crossbar to the right is directly above his shoulder and his knees appear to be close to the vertical bar. (00:45:15)
Deliberate mistake: The number of clicks (sounds) Christine made on the "text to talk" device did not match the total characters she typed. With few exceptions, there were a lot less clicks/sounds than there should have been based on the amount of letters/words she typed. (00:06:40 - 00:15:30)
