Corrected entry: In the scene where Mr. Sandin arms the home security system, the camera changes shots to the outside of the house allowing us to see the heavy duty steel sheets come down to secure the windows, but this is impossible, as they are solid and there is nowhere for them to have actually come down from. They are definitely not on rollers as when the group of purgers that break in when trying to retrieve the homeless man, they rip off the solid steel plates in one lump.
The Purge (2013)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: James DeMonaco
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane, Max Burkholder
Continuity mistake: After Mary slams Grace's face into the table, the blood on her face keeps changing size and shape.
Mary Sandin: We are gonna play the rest of this night out in motherfucking peace. Does anyone have a problem with that?
Question: Why didn't those purge people just go find someone else? Why waste all their time on one house and why did the girls go around in flimsy dresses and barefoot on a cold night?
Answer: These purgers are pretty crazy. They were hunting this person, a homeless man, and they wanted to kill him specifically. They wanted their prize, the trophy of their hunt. And they won't let anyone stop them as it's their right. So being blocked from their target only increases their desire.
Answer: Shortly after letting the black guy into their house, the gang leader tells James that he (the black man) killed one of their members, and they wanted revenge.

Correction: The outer walls of the house and the inner walls of the rooms are not two sides of the same wall. There is space between the two walls for studs, plumbing, wiring, and, in this house, steel plating.
