Other mistake: In the beginning of the scene where Gage is killed by the Orinco truck, the truck leaves the plant. The number on the trailer is marked T-80. In the scene, the truck rolls over in the accident. In later scenes where Rachel hitches a ride home with another Orinco truck, the number on the trailer is also marked T-80.
Pet Sematary (1989)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Mary Lambert
Starring: Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Fred Gwynne, Brad Greenquist
Revealing mistake: When Louis is trying to get Gage off him near the end of the movie, as he's struggling in a few shots you can plainly see it's not really Gage but a dummy made to look like him. Looks like a doll. (01:33:35)
Louis Creed: My father used to have a saying, Jud. God sees the truth... But waits.
Trivia: George A. Romero was originally set to direct; but when filming was delayed, he dropped out, and Mary Lambert stepped in.
Question: Why did Louis kill Church at the end? He only planned on killing Gage if he came back like Timmy Baterman did, and he could have just walked in after distracting Church with the meat.

Chosen answer: Church's behavior had changed after being buried. He was now violent (and working with Gage) and needed to be put down before killing anyone.
