The River Wild (1994)

Corrected entry: If you consider how fast the river is and how high and impassable the rocks on both sides of the river are, it is obvious that it was absolutely impossible for Tom to overtake the raft and arrive at the gauntlet well in time to set up the sophisicated trap with which he finally flips over the raft.

Correction: We are shown that the four people in the raft took breaks (slept, ate etc.)and also how they weren't going at a fast speed all of the time but simply drifted sometimes, however Tom, driven by the motivation to save his son's and wife's life would have made his way down the river without breaks.

The River Wild (1994)

Corrected entry: After the encounter with Gail's old Buddy, Ranger Johnny, Johnny paddles off without noticing the situation Gail and her family is in. Terry starts yelling and beating up Tom for drawing a SOS sign in the sand when Johnny still is not even around the next bend and still well within hearing distance. (00:58:20)

NancyFelix

Correction: Terry is not a very smart guy so this is a character mistake. Johnny might well have heard them fighting, but chose not to come back, which he could have done for many reasons (not wanting to meddle, not bothering to turn the kajak around, etc).

The River Wild (1994)

Corrected entry: It's strange that only Gail and Rourke see Tom's smoke signals but not Wade and Terry, even if the latter are somewhat distracted by the river wild. (01:19:55)

NancyFelix

Correction: Roarke was lying on his back in the bottom of the boat having nothing to do while the others were paddling, so it's not so strange that he noticed the signals. He then alerted his mother, but of course not the other two.
