Bride of Re-Animator picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the film, where West and Cain are re-animating dead soldiers, one of them tries to kill West. So, he shoots him in the head. It's obvious that West's gun doesn't fire, and the soldier just pretends like he's been shot.

Continuity mistake: Kari and Traci are both wearing sandals barefooted when they are caught toilet papering the house by Tom and Finn but when the four of them go for a walk on the beach minutes later, Kari is now wearing grey sneakers and Traci has black socks with her sandals.

Dead Men Don't Die picture

Character mistake: When Chafuka is controlling the zombie Barry with her voodoo doll, he's supposed to be repeating her words so precisely that he even imitates her accent. But when she says "that darn fool paper, it fall on the ground," Barry repeats it as "The darn fool paper fell down to the ground."

Green Card picture

Plot hole: Georges repeatedly tells immigration officers about his Africa trips. This overlooks that fact that INS would have or request a copy of his passport to process his case. In real life, INS would have realised immediately that the Africa story was not real: no entry/departure stamps in his passport.

Cop Target picture

Other mistake: Tough beat cop Farley Wood in his spare time built a special electronic machine to feed his cat. He needs to take off for Miami at 3 PM. When his cat is eating before his departure though, the clock on the machine says it's "12 AM", which would be midnight, not noon.

Graveyard Shift picture

Other mistake: The hole that the guy got his arm torn off in was too small to fit into, despite the monster being on the other side. A few moments later, he's pulled in. If the opening was too small, the body would be crushed and blood would spray everywhere, but you see none.

Other mistake: When the coroner lifts the sheet to show the cops Jimmy Kong's body and shows them the dim mak bruise on his chest, you can see Jimmy breathing.
