Continuity mistake: When the police car rolls out of the car wash, both passenger and driver's doors are open. When the shot changes to the deputy holding the rifle, the driver's door is closed. In the next shot both doors are open again.
The Crazies (2010)
Directed by: Breck Eisner
Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson
Other mistake: In the scene where Judy and Becca are strapped to beds in the high school and the principal is coming with a pitch fork, at first there is a close up of the fork (when the principal is dragging it) and its dry with no blood, the principal walks over to his first victim and right before he raises the fork it is shown covered in blood so much that some has ran on to the floor.
Continuity mistake: When the principal stabs the 3rd victim (male) on the gurney, we see that the tongs on the pitchfork extend almost their full length underneath the bed. However as we see up top, the pitchfork couldn't have been that deep given it had the height of the man's chest to go through as well.
David Dutton: Don't ask me why I can't leave without my wife and I won't ask you why you can.
Bill Farnum: She worries too much. I'm fine. Just a little tired.
Judy Dutton: So, what are you doing for the weekend?
Bill Farnum: She worries too much. I'm fine. Just a little tired.
Russell Clank: Is he dead?
David Dutton: Well if he is, he won't mind waiting.
Question: When Russell becomes infected, he tells the sheriff that he has saved him three times, yet I've seen the movie twice and saw Russell only save him two times (when he unplugs the razor machinery in the morgue and shoots a crazy through the window). Did I miss the third one?
Answer: The third time is by not shooting him right there.
Answer: When Judy was tied up in her baby room after the sheriff stabbed the other mom in the neck.
Question: Why did the soldiers shoot the non-infected people in the cattle trucks? Is there something going on here that I missed? Does everybody have the virus?
Answer: Possibly because the Government didn't want word about the virus getting out to the general public so they ordered the solders to shoot the non infected people in order to silence them all, and then created a cover story about a chemical plant exploding in the town.
Answer: At this point, the army had decided to simply kill everyone from the town, rather than risk the infection spreading and to save the time and trouble of checking whether people were infected or not.
Also, they probably wanted to contain knowledge of what they'd done. No witnesses.
