Continuity mistake: Close to the beginning when Chris and the others are creeping slowly out of the house in the woods, Chris puts his hand on the door well above the doorknob, yet in the following shot, his hand is below the doorknob. (00:34:55)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film when Chris is hiding underneath the cops' 4x4, we see one of the cannibals lean down to pick up the 4x4's keys off of the floor. He reaches with his left hand, but a shot from underneath the 4x4 shows the cannibal's right hand instead. (01:05:00)
Plot hole: In the end, the old timer sees the truck approaching and gets up and closes the door and acts as if he's scared. As we learned in part 2, these hillbillies are related to each other. Considering he knows the yellow truck, why does he act afraid? (01:16:15)
Suggested correction: The sequels do not affect the original. Not a valid mistake.
Continuity mistake: When the cannibals drag Francine to the chopping block, she has her shirt on. Next shot her shirt is suddenly off. (00:32:15)
Continuity mistake: After the crash the four start walking. While Scott is talking to Carly about eloping, she puts her hands on his shoulders, then puts them down, but in the shots from behind Scott her hands are still on his shoulders. When it cuts back to facing Scott, Carly's hands are down again.
Continuity mistake: When Chris, Carly and Jessie are being burned out of the watchtower by the cannibals, Carly breaks a window by throwing a suitcase out of it. When she throws it through, most of the window and window frame smash. Yet in the shot from inside we see the left side of the window intact and the right smashed, a shot from the outside shows most of the window and wooden frames holding the glass in are still there even though we saw most of the glass and frame gone in the shot from inside. (00:52:40)
Continuity mistake: In the middle of the film when we see Chris, Jessie and Carly in the watchtower, the cannibals who are trying to get them pull down on the radio lead, and Jessie and Carly react and step back, when it cuts to Chris, there is a reflection in the glass of the two females with the same reaction. (00:51:55)
Continuity mistake: When Carly, Jesse, and Chris are walking through the woods, Carly's make-up and hair are all messed up, while Jesse's hair and make-up are neat, and is not sweaty at all.
Continuity mistake: When Jessie and Chris are standing by the crash barrier at the edge of a cliff, Scott, with Carly on his back comes running down to the crash barrier. Between shots they reach the crash barrier twice, and Scott steps off a step twice too. (00:21:25)
Continuity mistake: When Chris and the others are inside the house, Chris goes to turn the music off. He turns the music off with his right hand before the gold amplifier, but in the following shot his hand/arm is over the gold tube coming from the music box to switch it off. (00:24:50)
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, just after Chris has turned onto the shortcut, in one shot he has his arm outside the car but in the following shot it's inside. (00:10:55)
Continuity mistake: When Chris, Jessie, Carly and Scott reach the house, the camera is behind them and Jessie is on Chris's left side, yet from the front Jessie is on Chris's right side. (00:22:55)
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the film when we see Jessie and Chris standing by the dead end sign, Jessie is standing on the left and Chris on the right. When the shot changes to the side you can see Jessie is now on the right. (00:21:25)
Continuity mistake: After the trooper gets shot with the arrow, the cannibal puts his arrows in the front seat. When he gets to the house they are on his back.
Continuity mistake: Chris Jessie Carly and Scott get to the house in the woods. Just before Chris enters the house, he is holding the bag in his right hand then when he opens the door the bag is now in his left hand. (00:23:55)
Factual error: When the fearless trio get into the watchtower, the windows are absolutely spotless. It is very unrealistic that they would be that clean.
Continuity mistake: When Jeremy Sisto is separated from his girlfriend as they're walking through the woods, he calls her name several times. His collar goes from turned up to turned down to back up again when she jumps out at him.
Continuity mistake: When Chris, Jessie and Carly get the truck stuck in the mud and have to continue on foot, Jessie and Carly sit in front of the truck and talk. In this shot Jessie puts her left hand on Carly's neck, but in the following shot it is no longer there, then the shot after it is back on her neck again. (00:44:05)
Continuity mistake: When Chris, Jessie, Carly and Scott come out from hiding in the house, Scott comes out the door and Carly puts her hand on his hand, but in the following shot Carly's hand is on Scott's wrist. (00:34:00)
