Corrected entry: When it shows the fog rolling over the hill, there is some fog on the right side coming out of thin air.
The Fog (1980)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh, John Houseman, Adrienne Barbeau
Continuity mistake: When the windows on Nick's truck are smashed, Elizabeth has protective gloves on when she covers her face from the glass, they are then gone when the truck comes to a halt.
Stevie Wayne: I don't know what happened to Antonio Bay tonight. Something came out of the fog and tried to destroy us. In one moment, it vanished. But if this has been anything but a nightmare, and if we don't wake up to find ourselves safe in our beds, it could come again. To the ships at sea who can hear my voice, look across the water, into the darkness. Look for the fog.
Trivia: Writer-Director John Carpenter appears in the film as Bennett, Father Malone's assistant, at the beginning of the movie.
Question: I recently bought the Scream Factory Blu-ray. During the opening with the old man telling the kids the spooky story, there's a moment where it cuts from a wideshot to a closeup, and it looks like there's a weird, random zooming effect added that's only about five frames between the wide and closeup shots (between the lines "drew towards land" and "Suddenly, out of the night"). Is that part of the original movie, or is that just some sort-of defect on the disc? It just looks out of place.

Correction: Where else is fog supposed to come from?

Let's not forget the several scenes we had witnessed before and after of fog appearing out of nowhere, cutting off the main characters' escape, resulting in them being directed to the church. Fog appears 'out of nowhere' because that's how fog works.
