Continuity mistake: At the time they were all little kids, the veteran from the war (Brendan Fraser) gave them cigarettes. When the girls were leaving, Teeny took one last puff and stopped it out, in the next shot she throws down the cigarette again and steps on it. (00:45:20)
Continuity mistake: When the girls hide behind the log and spy on the boys who are skinny-dipping, the behind of Teeny's yellow shorts gets really dirty. Moments later when they cycle off, the rear of her shorts is now clean. (00:35:30)
Continuity mistake: When the girls are cycling along with the War Veteran, in one shot the Veteran is walking down the middle of the road. In the next shot, he's walking on the grass at the side of the road. (00:42:45)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Roberta is being pulled onto the sand you can see that the sand is on her shorts and hair, but in the next scene the sand is gone. (00:33:45)
Continuity mistake: When Chrissy is standing holding the plate of biscuits, her thumb differs from resting on the plate to erect in the air from shot to shot. (00:06:55)
Continuity mistake: During the café scene, Roberta's straw and spoon often change positions and swap places. (00:17:55)
Continuity mistake: When Teeny arrives in her limo, she hugs Chrissy then Sam. As she hugs, she holds a pair of sunglasses in her hand which alternate from having the arms folded in/out between shots. (00:06:55)
Continuity mistake: When Sam's dad leaves, there is a grey Volkswagen Beetle parked on the street behind him. Yet in the previous shot it was parked on a driveway, not the street. (00:20:10)
Continuity mistake: The girls are round Sam's Grandma's house drinking lemonade. Then when Grandma runs over to take their cups away, a cushion appears on Teeny's lap between shots. (01:11:55)
Continuity mistake: In the softball game, a boy in a red shirt hits the ball, and the ball goes flying way past a boy in a black shirt. However in the following closeup, the boy in the black shirt catches the ball as if it never went past him. (00:51:05)
Continuity mistake: When Sam says "it'll work," in the diner, she puts her spoon in her coke glass and puts her hand down on the table. In the next shot she raises the same hand up, now with the spoon magically in it. (00:19:15)
Continuity mistake: When the girls see the 'floating' tombstone coming toward them, Teeny gets up twice between shots. (01:18:45)
Continuity mistake: After Sam's dad leaves, Sam gets out of bed, grabs her poncho and shoes and puts a bag over her shoulder. She puts her poncho and shoes out through the curtains twice, and as she climbs through and jumps out of the window, the bag has vanished from her shoulder. (00:21:35)
Continuity mistake: When Chrissy, Teeny and Sam are standing near the barbecue and table of food talking, they turn to walk over to the foldout chairs and swings. As they turn around you can see by the tree are two flowery foldout chairs next to each other. But in the next shot when they walk over there, there's now a small flowery footstool in between the two chairs. (00:08:30)
Continuity mistake: When the girls are at the table, Samantha is doing her hair, and her white hairband is hanging from her arm. At frist it hangs by her armpit, but in the next shot it hangs from her wrist. (00:29:25)
Continuity mistake: After Teeny puts the record on in the attic, a pair of white gloves suddenly appear, hanging out of the drawer behind her. (01:13:20)
Continuity mistake: When the girls go to visit Sam's grandma, she has only two glasses of lemonade ready. When she sees the other girls, she says 'Let's find some more glasses.' She's away for about five seconds and comes back with five full glasses. Are we expected to believe she got to the kitchen, got the three extra glasses and filled them with lemonade all in five seconds?
Continuity mistake: When Sam rings the bell to wake up Roberta, as Roberta walks to the window to ring the bell back, we see a silver torch on the desk lying on its side. Then when Roberta picks it up it's standing upright. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: The positions of Chrissy, Teeny and Sam change in every shot, as they splash about in the water.
Answer: There are two different men named Peter. In the shot of the newspaper while Roberta is reading the article, it states that the driver of the pickup truck was Peter Norris (00:41:35). Then Sam finds the article about 12 year old Jonathan Simms and his mother, Beverly Ann, so we know that "Crazy Pete" is Peter Simms (00:43:00).
