Corrected entry: When 'The Car' charges at two oncoming police cars, it leaps up and barrel-rolls sideways over the top of the squad cars. One of the front wheels falls off, but when the Car lands and drives off, all four wheels are fine. (00:56:30)

Continuity mistake: When the teacher stands and challenges 'The Car' in the cemetery, the gates cast their shadows to our left. When the car reacts, beginning to do 'doughnuts' in the dirt, the shadows fall to our right. (00:47:30)
Donna: Wade... there's something I... I wanna tell you about last night. Well, the old lady... well, Chas, he didn't translate everything that she said.

Correction: The car also has no dents or scratches from doing that. It's a supernatural car, with no driver, no effect from being shot at with revolvers or shotguns, or broken glass when it should have shattered many times over. It's not too much of a stretch, if we accept all that, to have the car replace its' wheel in midair.
