Continuity mistake: The living-room in Cindy's house has wood plank flooring, which is perpendicular to the plank flooring in the hallway, as seen at the doorway when she runs down the stairs and locks the front door. However, when she runs up the stairs as the killer chases her, the living-room wood flooring at that doorway is gone.

Deliberate mistake: When Cindy is talking to the killer on the phone, and he says, "I could be anywhere. I'm like the wind, baby," she walks into the living-room. Notice the wall behind the couch, it is completely different a moment later. When the killer hides behind the curtains, the wall behind the couch has large bay windows with seating underneath. Then when the killer is at her house the second time, all the windows are gone during the Matrix send-up, so Cindy can run along that wall.

Revealing mistake: When the killer throws Cindy against the wall, causing the painting to fall, the outlines of the knee pads she's wearing under her pants are visible, while she's in mid-air. (01:14:20)
