Other mistake: When the security system is armed, you can see the barricades are smooth steel panels running inside the outer walls, obviously on runners. Now, how do you attach a chain to a smooth steel panel and how do you rip it out without bringing the whole wall down? When Charlie lets the fugitive in, the panel is at least 1in thick. There is absolutely no way anyone is getting through that without specialised tools or heavy machinery.
The Purge (2013)
1 other mistake
Directed by: James DeMonaco
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane, Max Burkholder
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ethan Hawke is talking through the safety glass in the barricade to the polite leader of the gang outside, the leader shoots the loud-mouth guy standing to the right of him, using the pistol in his left hand across his chest. Immediately after that they show a top shot of him dropping his right hand holding the gun. (00:46:00)
Newscaster: Incoming reports show this year's Purge has been the most succesful to date, with the most murders committed.
Question: Why did the daughter's boyfriend, Henry, want to kill her father, James? It just seemed to come out of nowhere, and to me, it seemed like he didn't have any real motive.
