Revealing mistake: When David is re-loading his gun whilst out duck shooting, we see three ducks flying to the right and then immediately to the left, revealing that it is the same film in reverse.
Straw Dogs (1971)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Sam Peckinpah
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Susan George, Peter Vaughan, T.P. McKenna
Continuity mistake: When Dustin Hoffman drives into town at great speed, he swerves around a tractor going in the opposite direction. He parks the car and exactly one minute later the same tractor drives towards him from the middle of town and heads off up the same road it had already travelled. To accomplish this, it must have turned around and driven back to town at about 90 mph - about 5 times its normal top speed.
David Sumner: Jesus. I got 'em all.
Trivia: The British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) banned this film from being released on video/DVD from 1984 to 2002 due to its graphic violence and two brutal rapes.
