Idle Hands

Visible crew/equipment: Right after Anton's hand kills Mick, Pnub runs for the front door and manages to opens it a bit, but the hand slams it closed. During the brief moment that the door is open, you can see a light stand right outside on the porch.

Visible crew/equipment: When the mom goes downstairs to see what the sound is, she slips on blood and falls on the floor. When she starts to stand back up, you can see her knee pads.

Continuity mistake: When Tanya gets pulled into the fan Molly gets sprayed with her blood, and a couple of big red blobs land on her face. But when she runs into the art room seconds later, there is no blood at all on her face, not even smears where she might have tried to wipe it off.

Anton: Hey, I didn't kill anyone on purpose, okay?
Mick: Yeah, well, we weren't in hell! I mean, there was this bright white light at the end of a long tunnel, right, and there was these chicks' voices, and that music.
Anton: Music?
Pnub: Yeah, kinda uncool music, like, Enya. And these chicks' voices, they were saying, "come to us, come towards the light."
Anton: So what happened?
Mick: We figured, fuck it, I mean, it was really far.

More quotes from Idle Hands

Trivia: The film's release was greatly impacted by the Columbine tragedy. It was unfortunately scheduled to come out only 10 days after the shooting, and as a result many theaters refused to screen it due to it involving teens and violence. Additionally, several politicians (unfairly) criticized the film immediately after the shooting, earning it a lot of bad publicity. The studio quietly canceled the premiere and dumped it in theaters, where it bombed. It later found a cult audience on home video.
