Lean on Pete (2017)

2 deliberate mistakes - chronological order

(1 vote)

Deliberate mistake: The car's headlights are angled differently. After the car hit Pete, its headlights were angled upwards (more toward the sky than the road). This enabled a clearer view of Charlie when he approached and knelt next to Pete's head. A later, more distant view shows the headlights shining about waist-high, which would be more typical.

Deliberate mistake: The condition of Pete's coat/body after being struck by the car was not consistent with what would be expected from such an impact. The absence of distinct or vivid blood was presumably deliberate for the sake of viewers. But Pete's left legs were rammed by the car's front bumper and hood; a horse struck in such a manner would not have "bowed" rear legs. The way Pete's body was displayed did not look real - probably because it wasn't real. Pete was beyond recognition because it wasn't Pete. (01:29:10)

Continuity mistake: The amount of "sweat" on Charley's T-shirt varies before/after his entrance into his house. While jogging, there is no visible sweat on his T-shirt, but there is sweat around the collar of his T-shirt when approaching the front door to his house. Once inside, Charley makes a "360" (turns completely around) at the door and his T-shirt is now wetter - around the neck and part-way down to his chest (V-shaped); his back also has a vertical oval-shaped area of wetness. As Charley approaches the refrigerator, the wetness on his back quickly disappears (the dark gray area becomes light gray like his T-shirt) and it looks obvious that it was being blow-dried (air was circulating underneath his T-shirt). Next, Charley walks to the sink, and there's a vertical line of "sweat" on his back and the wetness under his arms "grows" and becomes obvious. Real sweat makes a shirt cling to one's body, but this was not true for Charley's T-shirt. (00:03:12 - 00:04:04)
