The Return of the Living Dead

Other mistake: When Trash first comes back to life as a zombie there is a shot of rain falling and smoke swirling. The shot plays forward, then reverses for a second or two before playing forward again. The rain falls up and the smoke reverses direction.

Other mistake: When the zombies are climbing out of their graves, one is seen as a skull that rises, opens its eyes and mouth. If you look closely in its mouth you can see some kind of wire or control used to move the puppet. It is more clearly seen when the footage is reused at the end and the shot freezes for the closing credits on the same shot of the skull.

Trivia: Not a mistake, just a case of very bad luck that not many realize: In an attempt to escape the infamous "Tar man" zombie, Tina runs up the stairs. She ends up falling through the bad stair, mentioned earlier in the picture. Now think back to the beginning, after Freddy and Frank breathe the gas from the tank. Frank runs over and pukes under the stairs. So, not only is Tina being pursued by a brain hungry zombie, she also takes a high fall, and lands in cold puke.
