Continuity mistake: When the Gunslinger rescues Jake in the forest, he fires far more shots than we see his gun is capable of holding when he reloads it.
The Dark Tower (2017)
Directed by: Nikolaj Arcel
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba, Jackie Earle Haley, Katheryn Winnick
Continuity mistake: Roland crumbles up Jake's drawing and stuffs it in his jacket, but when he takes it out again, it's neatly folded.
Other mistake: They make it clear to us that the portals are one-way gates (from origination to destination). However, the last portal is two-way.
Trivia: At the scene where Jake and Roland are walking through the rusty theme park in Midworld, there is a huge sign saying "PENNYWISE", the name of the demon clown from "It", also by Stephen King.
Trivia: The number for the portal in the Midworld village is "14-08." 1408 was a book, also by Stephen King, about a haunted hotel room.
Roland Deschain: I do not aim with my hand. He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand. He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun. He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.
Roland Deschain: Do they have guns and bullets in your world?
Jake Chambers: You're gonna like Earth. A lot.
Man in Black: You can't stop what's coming. Death always wins.
Question: Why doesn't the teacher at Jake's school punish the bully for teasing Jake?
Answer: All the bully really did was take the book out of Jake's hand and Jake violently assaulted him in retaliation. Jake's action was much worse. Also, we are never actually shown what punishment the bully received, he very well could have been punished in some way that was never mentioned.

Suggested correction: He doesn't crumple it up, he folds it. Though he does stuff it roughly into his jacket.
