Continuity mistake: Jezzie kicks the door open and in the close-up we see the strike plate and a strip of wood wave in an ample motion, broken. When she is walking into the room, door still opening, the doorframe is completely still, no metal or wood still shaking. (00:11:30)

16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
