Other mistake: When Odd Thomas and Stormy are riding on his moped through town to stop the massacre they pass a car dealership. All of the letters on the dealership signs are reversed except for a large lighted awning sign that says "Welcome to quality." The normal and reversed signs appear at the same time in the same frame.

Odd Thomas (2013)
1 mistake
Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Starring: Anton Yelchin, Leonor Varela, Ashley Sommers, Matthew Page
Odd Thomas: A part of me knew, from the moment I saw her behind the ice cream counter, but the truth hurt too much to accept. Her death would have been one wound too many that day, and I think I would have let go of this life.
Trivia: The film was meant to be a major theatrical release and was filmed in 2011. However, the film was shelved, and a lawsuit was subsequently levied against one of the production companies over the mishandling of funds that were supposed to go towards marketing. As a result, the film's theatrical release was eventually cut back to a very small and limited number of theaters, and it was instead released primarily as a direct-to-video film in 2014.
Question: Not strictly a question about the movie, but is there any reason why, as of 2022, director Stephen Sommers hasn't directed any more movies after "Odd Thomas?" It's been 11 years since this movie was actually shot (and 8 years since its release), and the only thing he's done since this movie has been executive producing two direct-to-video "Scorpion King" sequels. He did some pretty popular films in the 90's and early 2000's, so it seems strange that he's just sort-of disappeared recently.
