Corrected entry: Brenda weighs about 120 pounds. How is she able so often through the film to overpower men almost twice her size, hang them from trees (Damon's death) and then drag the bodies up to the top floor of an abandoned building? All without any help. Surely someone would notice a waif-like girl trying to drag a 200 pound body through the campus. When you are crazy then you suddenly have superhuman strength?

Continuity mistake: When Sasha is pushed over the banister by the killer, she grabs the corner of the stairs; as she hangs on, her hands change position. In one shot she has one hand either side of the corner. Then she has both hands on the right side, then back again. (01:07:55)
Michael McDonnell, gas station attendant: Someone's in the back... seat.
Trivia: In the scene where Natalie and Damon drive off to the woods, when the car starts the song that plays for a second before Damon turns it off is the theme song from Dawson's Creek, which Joshua Jackson, who plays Damon, stars in.
Question: I do not completely get the whole "Gang headlight" thing at all,I've seen the film more than 10 times but it still is confusing.
Answer: This urban legend involves wannabe gang-bangers being required to make a kill to join the gang. In this scenario they drive with their headlights off and kill the driver of the first car that flashes their headlights at them. This was proved to be a false urban legend by snopes.com where more information can be found at http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/lightsout.asp.
Answer: For another, film centric, explanation, the Kevin Bacon film - Death Sentence features the gang high beam initiation. It's really what starts off the whole film plot and vigilante revenge storyline.

Correction: Actually, yes. People on an adrenaline high can accomplish physical tasks that would otherwise be impossible. However, there's also the fact that Brenda has spent years planning this revenge - presumably she built up her muscles over that time. Just because she's not bulging doesn't mean she isn't strong.
