Revealing mistake: When Darian is swinging the pole at Nick near the stairs during the climax, she is so cleanly replaced by a stunt double in two zoomed out shots. The double's face looks absolutely NOTHING like Alicia Silverstone.

Revealing mistake: It's a stunt double when "Ray Liotta" falls down the stairs at the end, just look closely at how different his face is. You can even play it in slow motion, and it becomes more ridiculous. (01:45:15)

Question: When Nada first puts the sunglasses on, when walking on the sidewalk, what did he see on the ground that made him realise something was wrong and different?

Plot hole: There is no way Turner should have been able to fool Kale into thinking that he was the club girl, due to obvious differences in his physical appearance to the club girl. Such as his much blatantly larger size and height, especially if he needed fit into the black dress she was wearing (and to top it off, it does looks very much like the actress when "she" gets into the car).

Character mistake: When Beth encounters Nick after Gus has been murdered, she puts her hand in her pocket and steps forward, prompting Nick to order her to freeze and to take her hand out of her pocket while aiming his gun at her. However, she just keeps reaching for what's in her pocket and approaching Nick, resulting in him shooting her. Considering that she works on the police force, she absolutely should have known for a fact that she was being suspected of reaching for a gun, but thinks nothing of it.

Stupidity: Abel sends a video next door showing Chris being sexually assaulted by a stripper at the bachelor party, which would actually get him in a lot of trouble as the video shows him encouraging it. Yet, for some reason, Chris and Lisa don't bother to use this important piece of evidence to make a case against his harassment of them.

Movielover1996

Stupidity: Despite being assaulted by an intruder that she managed to temporarily fend off, the female neighbor takes forever to say something when she calls the police, which is just enough time for the villain to regain his senses and attack her with a huge drill.

Factual error: The glass shattering and falling in the greenhouse would have been unlikely to kill Marlene, let alone even cause that much damage to her, as the glass would have very little to no time to gain more force, falling at that low of a height. And if Marlene were to be killed, she would have probably bled out over time, as opposed to almost instantly dying as the film implies.

Question: Just a thought. If the Mattsons chose to file a complaint against Abel, would his history of unethical behaviour on the job make his superiors more inclined to take the complaint seriously? It just seems odd to me that accusations of inappropriate behaviour against a policeman outside the job would be dismissed so easily when he has a long history of questionable behaviour on the job.

Other mistake: After falling in the pit of water at the end, there is at least one shot (if not more), only a minute or so later (when Turner is stabbed in the leg by Julie), where Kale's shirt appears to be completely dry, when it should be still quite drenched.

Question: How on earth could it take as long five years for a possessive and controlling abuser like Mitch to first show his true nature? I get that with some abusers it can take a bit of time, but five years seems a bit of a stretch. Also, did Mitch really believe himself to be in love with Slim? It seemed to me that he was far more arrogant and greedy, rather than lusting.

Question: When speaking with Robbie, Mitch says he thinks he chose his family out of "love." Does he really mean that? Because he seems MUCH more interested in his own self-serving desires at the expense of tending to his family. Surely that should mean he would easily be capable of moving on from his family, as Robbie suggested? He even acted liked his family wasn't a huge importance until Slim called him out on his nonsense.

Movielover1996

Question: Why did Pete keep insisting that Michael beat up the burglar, instead of listening to him and simply hauling him away? Surely he would have still got on Michael's good side just to take him in, so why not just do want Michael wants, rather than complicate matters, which leads to Michael cutting ties off with Pete for good?

Plot hole: There's no way Billy and Stu could have gutted Casey and hanged her from a tree in the short space of time between her mother hearing her over the phone and seeing her corpse.

Movielover1996

Factual error: Plane doors are only closed when the flight is ready to take off and most passengers have been accounted for. They are not reopened for late passengers, so in reality the family would have been left behind.

Movielover1996

Plot hole: There is absolutely no way that a hotel staff employee would ever let a child check in alone. The staff would be required to personally contact the owner of the credit card Kevin hands them personally to make a reservation, not to mention Kevin never had his dad's government I.D on hand, so there was no proof of verification whatsoever, which is also required. Not possible today or even back then, especially considering the lawsuits, terminations, and bad press that it could lead too.

Question: Why in the world would a school principal scold a teacher for apparently putting her hands on a student who had been expelled, not to mention for nearly killing someone, showing he was dangerous? Shouldn't all that make her "putting her hands on him" irrelevant? Especially if he's not a student and wasn't actually injured?

Movielover1996

Stupidity: After Dan confesses his affair to his wife, he never thinks about bringing the tape Alex had sent him to the police. This would have been proof beyond a reasonable doubt of her mental instability and harassment of him, and she would have been immediately sought out and likely committed to an institution, and both of the film's endings wouldn't had to happen.

Movielover1996

Plot hole: It makes no sense for the woman from the YWCA to call Martin at his job, which ends up hinting to him that Laura may have faked her death. First of all, how did she get his work number? And Martin never knew anything at all about Laura being at the YWCA, so she was obviously smart enough to NEVER discuss her husband or personal life, such as where she lived, and other personal info. So it seems nonsensical that someone who knew Laura at the YWCA would be calling Martin to offer condolences.
