Continuity mistake: After Roger hits the back of the box truck in front of the RV during the car chase scene, Alice is knocked forward over the counter where an open pack of a stick of butter is sitting. Alice's torso flies forward over the counter, but the next shot she is standing, and the package and the butter are not flattened by her chest, nor is there a mess on her sweater that would be there after being crushed by her.
