Continuity mistake: When Chris stabs Jason's hand, she stabs his right hand. In the shot of Jason coming downstairs, after Chris has jumped from the window, his left hand is all cut and bloodied for this shot. (01:14:05)
Continuity mistake: When Ali is looking for Loco and Fox, Loco then rolls off the rafters onto Ali. In this shot you can see no blade leaning against the stable. Then when Jason jumps down, Ali grabs a blade that has appeared. (00:41:15)
Continuity mistake: When Rick is about to go for a drive in his car, and Chris is begging to come, we see Rick is holding just keys and that Chris's hands are empty. It cuts to the POV of Jason watching them from the stable, and Rick hasn't moved or picked anything up. It then cuts back to a closer view of them again, and now Rick has a golden coloured coat in his hand. (00:33:50)
Continuity mistake: After Edna yells through the window at Harold for knocking down the clothesline pole, she slams the window shut and the end of the curtain gets trapped under the window. Then the scene cuts to show Edna from the inside, and look at the curtains from this shot. They are now hanging straight down, just like it should be and aren't trapped. (00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: When they arrive at the lake and get out of the van, the long shot from the passengers' side shows Chris getting out and slamming her door, but then the next shot from the driver's side shows her getting out and slamming the door again. (00:21:55)
Continuity mistake: When Chris is put in the police car at the end of the film, the car window rolls itself up higher between shots. (01:27:10)
Continuity mistake: When the kids get out of the van and run over to Abel, who is laying in the road, you can see Chuck and Andy standing next to see other (you can see their legs.) In the very next shot, Vera is standing in between them. (00:20:30)
Continuity mistake: When Shelley runs and stops Vera in the car, to ask if he can go with her to the store, the car is in sunlight. In the next closeup, as she drives off, it is in complete shade. (00:28:35)
Continuity mistake: When Jason swings the machete to kill Andy, he swings vertically, which would have cut him between the legs down to his head, as he was walking on his hands. Later when Andy is shown, he is cut horizontally at the waist. (01:00:15)
Suggested correction: This is wrong. It might look it at first, but if you pause it, he's cut vertically and his legs are simply stretched to be able to put the feet by his head. The cut reached just past his abdomen, so Jason spread Andy's legs to fit on the rafter, giving the illusion that he was cut in half horizontally.
Hogwash. I saw this scene and Andy was cut vertically, not horizontally. There is no illusion. Everything is too obvious.
That's what I said, vertically. The shot is quick, which is why some people think he's cut horizontally.
Continuity mistake: When Debbie is in the shower, as the camera pans towards the shower, you can see the towel hanging up and her bathrobe hanging over the towel. However when Debbie pulls the shower curtain back, the towel is now hanging over the bathrobe. (01:00:35)
Continuity mistake: When Chili walks into the kitchen while Chuck makes popcorn, the pan goes from on the stove to on the table between shots. (01:03:00)
Continuity mistake: When Edna keeps looking out the window, to see Jason take the clothes from her clothes line, the curtains keep changing position, and from shots outside the left curtain isn't visible but from inside, it covers a portion of the window. (00:09:05)
Continuity mistake: When Chuck makes the popcorn the amount of popcorn in the pan and around the stove differs. (01:02:50)
Continuity mistake: When the cops arrive at the store, they approach and the white cop comes in contact with someone to move them away. The camera then shows the van driving, with the passengers all looking down at the store. The next scene then shows the 2 cops approaching the store again.
Continuity mistake: The size of the knife that Jason kills Debbie with changes size. It's so long that it goes in through her back and comes out her chest. Then Chris removes it from her neck and it's shorter. Then Jason throws it at Chris and it's even shorter than before.
Continuity mistake: When Shelly and Vera get into the car after their run-in with the biker gang, you can see the area around where the windshield wipers are attached to the bonnet is all perfectly painted. However after Shelly reverses into the motorbikes, it cuts to Shelly and now there are large areas of rust around the wipers. (00:31:30)
Continuity mistake: When Fox says, "You mean, may I please have the wallet." to Vera, she is holding the wallet. In the next shot you can see the wallet is rotated. (00:30:30)
Continuity mistake: When Chris pushes the crooked painting straight, there is a lamp in front of it. In the next shot the lamp is to the left of it. (00:23:15)
Continuity mistake: When Chris enters the cabin, Rick grabs her, and the cabin door swings to an angle so it's half shut. In the next shot of Rick it's open wide. (00:22:45)
Continuity mistake: When the "stoned" couple makes popcorn, it is shown being poured from a pot on the stove into a bowl, cooked properly. A short time later when Chris and her boyfriend are searching the house they come upon the pot of popcorn on the stove burning, and they empty it again.
