Factual error: One of the deaths involves a burning candle, a car and a leaking fuel tank, resulting in an explosion. This wouldn't happen. Multiple independent test evidence that petrol/gasoline can't be ignited this way, a flame isn't hot enough. Only the fumes can be ignited, which isn't what happens here, and the tank wouldn't explode anyway.
Happy Death Day (2017)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Christopher Landon
Starring: Israel Broussard, Jessica Rothe, Ruby Modine, Charles Aitken, Rachel Matthews
Continuity mistake: On the third and fourth day, Carter's roommate shows up earlier than the first 2 days. And Tree's suspect tips notebook every day don't reset and the line and erases are the same.
Tree Gelbman: It's been so much worse.
Tree Gelbman: All of this running and hiding has made me so miserable.
Tree Gelbman: And I think I finally figured it out.
Tree Gelbman: For me, it took something, like, totally crazy, but.
Tree Gelbman: But I'm here.
Tree Gelbman: And I love you.
Tree Gelbman: And I'm so, so sorry that I hurt you.
Trivia: There actually is an in-universe explanation for why Tree got stuck in a time-loop. However, director Christopher Landon opted to omit it from the finished film. Partially because it could be used in a potential sequel, and partially because it wasn't necessary for the narrative. Landon has hinted that the upcoming sequel, "Happy Death Day 2U," will finally reveal the explanation.
