Corrected entry: When the young Evan is getting the knife to stop the firework, in one shot he is trying to put the knife in his pocket. However, in the next, he has the knife down by his side and is not moving.

Corrected entry: Every time Evan blacks out, it's a time when he could go back in time and change things. However, he didn't go back until AFTER he was grown up (e.g. the scene in the basement with Kayleigh's dad, the first time he didn't call him a f****ag). However, he blacked out just before he got the knife in the kitchen, and he was getting the knife to stop the firework from blowing his arms off. And, when he blacked out with his dad in the hospital, it was because he had gone back and told him he was going back, which is why the dad attacked him. Seems it's one rule one minute and a different one the next.
Correction: There are really no set "rules" to his going back in time. Rather, he only really tries to go back to when he has had a blackout, hence having the blackout. But at the very end, he is able to travel back using the video, but was not having a blackout at the time the video was made.

Correction: This is because he heard his mother coming and froze. Then he blacked out the memory, and did not know why he was holding the knife.
