Secret Window

Other mistake: When Amy goes to the cabin at the end (where she gets killed) she is looking for Mort. She calls out for the dog (Chico). Wasn't she told earlier that Shooter killed Chico? (01:22:00)

Suggested correction: First of all, this is a question, not a mistake. And the answer is no, she wasn't told. Mort told both the sheriff and Ken that Shooter killed his dog, and then later mentioned to a confused Ted that he buried his dog, but he never told Amy that Chico was dead.

Other mistake: When Johnny Depp finds the two bodies dead in the jeep, he turns around and spots a squirrel in the tree. We get a point of view shot looking at the squirrel, before Depp faints and the camera starts falling to the left. In the next shot, however, we are facing Johnny Depp and see he has fallen on his right side.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Mort closes the door of his jeep before he goes into the hotel room. You can hear the sound of the door closing and it's visible in the rearview-mirror. As the camera moves out of the room, the jeep door is completely open. (00:02:05)

Suggested correction: The door just didn't actually catch. I've had cars like that, especially during the winter.

Given that we see it stay closed for almost 4 seconds and hear it catch, it's a valid mistake.

If you've ever lived where it snows a lot, you'd know that door catches accumulate moisture (ice) and can open slowly, as it did in this case.

Questions

Question: At the end of the credits, we hear Johnny Depp sing "mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread." Is there any reason for this, or a tie-in to the movie I missed?

Bishop73

Chosen answer: An additional reference to the full dominant personality takeover of Shooter, everything gravitates South Mississippi.
