Deliberate mistake: When Wade "hits" Roarke for telling his parents about the gun, it's very obvious that his hand doesn't come near the boy's face.
The River Wild (1994)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Curtis Hanson
Starring: Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, Joseph Mazzello, Stephanie Sawyer
Continuity mistake: When Tom tells Gail he won't take part in the rafting trip and she sits down on the bed, her hair changes several times between tucked behind the ears and hanging straight in alternating shots. (00:04:35)
Roarke: How come you're on his side?
Gail: I'm not on anybody's side, I'm on everybody's side, I'm the mother.
Question: After Wade seemingly kills Tom, Terry scolds him, saying he had said at the start of the robbery that no-one would get hurt, but now three people (a guard, Frank and "Tom") are dead. Why does Terry wait until the "third" death to have it out with Wade?

Chosen answer: He's finally had enough of Wade's increasingly psychotic behavior and no longer trusts him. As a result of Wade's actions, their entire plan is unraveling. Terry likely knows that Wade will probably kill him as well.
