Corrected entry: At the carnival, you can see an African-American man staring at the camera for a while. I am unsure if he is a crew-member watching over the scene, or if he is just an extra trying to get onscreen.

Correction: I submitted this entry over twenty years ago, and now I'm going to correct it. This entry was based on an old DVD version of the movie with a mediocre transfer. I recently bought the 4K version of the film, and seeing it in a significantly higher resolution, it seems as though the man is just sort of staring off into space and not looking at the camera at all.

Revealing mistake: When Peyton's hands are about to be burnt, they are a replaced by a very obvious prop.

Suggested correction: I personally see nothing wrong with the effect. While it is indeed a stop-motion effect, it certainly doesn't look cheap, the animation of the skin burning and curling is pretty smooth, and nothing inherently gives it away outside of the fact you know they wouldn't actually burn up the actor's hands.

Correction: He isn't staring at the camera. He's glancing over at Peyton and Julie as they are joyously dancing upon exiting the ferris wheel.
