Plot hole: When Farley is preparing to rescue Simon by towing him up with the rope attached to his van, he drops his "cigarette" into his crotch, causing him to floor the gas pedal. His back wheels begin to spin. This is impossible because the vehicle is still in Park. There is even a camera shot of the "PRNDL" proving this. I guess this goof is employed by the filmmaker to increase the dramatic effect of him subsequently slamming the Dodge into drive a second later and careening through the fence. (01:07:35)
The Darwin Awards (2006)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Finn Taylor
Starring: Winona Ryder, David Arquette, Joseph Fiennes, Ty Burrell
Revealing mistake: When David Arquette is preparing to drive his rocket car, he does a u-turn to get pointed in the correct direction (towards his friend who is filming). The image is reversed at that point, so that he appears to be driving from the passenger side of the car.
