Revealing mistake: During the autopsy scene, it's obvious that the Panther is still breathing when it's supposed to be dead.
Cat People (1982)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Paul Schrader
Starring: John Heard, Malcolm McDowell, Nastassja Kinski, Annette O'Toole
Plot hole: We learn in the film that Cat People must kill a human in order to return to their human form. However, after becoming a cat at the swimming pool and terrorising Alice, Irena becomes human again without making a kill (the only other person at the closed pool is alive and well at the end of the scene - we know Alice has not imagined the presence of the cat because of her shredded clothes). (01:31:00)
Irena Gallier: I'm not like you.
Paul Gallier: That is the lie that will kill your lover.
