The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Dan O'Bannon
Starring: Clu Gulager, James Karen, Thom Mathews, Don Calfa
Continuity mistake: When Tina runs up the stairs and then falls through, she lands on a blanket but when she stands up, the blanket is gone.
Zombie: Send more cops.
Trivia: The actress who plays Trash is actually wearing a prosthetic rubber "crotch piece" during her strip scene (and subsequent scenes), which one of the producers insisted on, because he felt full frontal female nudity was "too much" for the film. Ironically, most of the shots of her are from a distance, and her under-region is hard to see, so in the end, the prosthetic was not really necessary. As confirmed in DVD commentary.
