Corrected entry: Nic Cage tells the old woman on the phone that the company that provided the film for the snuff movie was discontinued in '92 so it had to be made prior to that, yet when he pulls Mary Anne's file from the police station, it reads that she'd been missing since '93.

Correction: That simply means they stopped making the film in 1992. The bad guys who made the snuff film may have had some left over. I still (as of 2011) have some 25-speed (ASA25) film left over that Kodak stopped making in 1998.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Nicholas Cage is watching the first of the 'snuff' movies he bought, he is smoking a cigarete. Disgusted by the film, he ejects the tape from his VCR and starts playing the second one. Now there is a shoot from above, showing him lighting another cigarette. He must be a really fast smoker.

Correction: It is actually the same cigarette, he is just re-lighting it because it went out while he was watching the snuff film.

Audio problem: Right after Max and Tom watch the two fake snuff films, Max mentions the record company's lack of interest. At one point his lip movements don't seem to match his words. (00:50:35)

Question: How, exactly, does Max die? When Machine rips the tape off his mouth, does he fall forward onto a blade of some type?

Answer: Machine first rips off the tape then slits his throat with a knife he had hidden. If you put the movie in slow play, you will see what I mean.
