1408

Corrected entry: Sam Jackson says that the whole hotel has magnetic key cards except room 1408, saying electronics don't work in that room. Yet there are working lights, TV, and radio in that room.

Correction: He means that electronics act up in that room, not that there is no electronic equipment that will work there. Electronics are merely unreliable in that room. And you have to admit that the electronics in that room do act up a significant amount.

Corrected entry: During the scene when Mike notices the picture of the boat is crooked in the living room, he jumps over the couch to fix it. As the shot changes to look directly at him, you can see a reflection in the french doors behind him that looks like someone pulling a pillow off a bed. I waited for this to come into play in the plot, but it never did.

Correction: No. Its the curtain blowing from the open window.

Corrected entry: The hotel manager says to John Cusack's character that they could not install electronic keys for room 1408 because electronics do not work in the room, yet the laptop, cell phone, remote control television, etc all work with no problem.

Correction: Remember the laptop was being manipulated by the room? And the cell phone didn't work, that's why he brought out the laptop. A key card wouldn't work if the room didn't want it to. Of course, neither did the standard key.

Phixius

Continuity mistake: As Mike scrolls through the microfilm, we see his view as the pages scroll from right to left. The shot then reverses to show his face through the scrolling film, but while the film is now properly reversed, it's still moving right to left in our view. But this reversed angle should show it moving left to right. (00:12:05)

Question: Are there 2 different endings to this film? When I saw it for the second time I'm sure it was different from the first time I saw it.

Chosen answer: Yes. The alternate ending has become the default ending in most areas, and is the default ending on the Blu-Ray.
