Directed by: Michael Lehmann
Starring: Christian Slater, Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk
Factual error: Slater had close to a dozen sticks of dynamite on him. At the very least they should have knocked Winona Ryder down, and made her deaf for a few days.
Factual error: After Veronica and JD give Heather the poisoned drink, she falls and shatters the glass table. The way that the glass breaks is not realistic. She doesn't fall far enough to cause the entire top to shatter into tiny pieces. Most likely, the top is strong enough that her body would rest on it.
Revealing mistake: When they show Heather Chandler in her casket in the funeral scene and everyone is praying, she's clearly breathing.
Heather Chandler: Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Teresa?
Trivia: At one point, Heather Chandler asks Heather Duke, "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?" Ironically and tragically in real life, actress Kim Walker (Heather Chandler) died of a brain tumor in 2001.
Question: Why did JD expect anyone to believe his plan for the bomb at school - that all of the students signed a mass suicide note? Nobody would think that so many people, with different personalities and interests, agreed to die together. He later tells Veronica, "Pretend I did blow up the school, all the schools" - implying that he wanted to do this again. He might be crazy, but he was careful in how he executed the murders of Heather, Kurt, and Ram. Why the ridiculous bomb plan?
Answer: The students didn't know they were signing a "mass suicide" pact. They thought it was a petition to win a free concert from a popular band. JD covered the suicide wording on the paper with a sticker that made it look like a contest entry. He pulls off the sticker and reads the real message after he finds Veronica hanging in her room.
That was not the question. It's a question of why JD thinks anyone will believe the note, after all the students are dead. Has nothing to do with the students knowing what they were signing.

Answer: He doesn't care if anyone believes it or not; he is trying to make a statement about society and that no matter how we see ourselves in life, we are all the same when we're dead.
