Other mistake: When Curt crashes into the force field when he is trying to jump the gap on his dirt bike, his point of impact is ridiculously high up. (00:59:40)
The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Drew Goddard
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Kristen Connolly, Fran Kranz
Continuity mistake: Before Dana and Marty enter the control room and release all the monsters into the control centre, there is a thermos flask and a torch sitting next to each other on the control room's desk. But once they enter the control room, the position of the thermos flask and torch have changed without anyone touching them.
Curt: Read the Gurovsky; it's way more interesting and Bennet doesn't know it by heart so he'll think you're insightful. And you have no pants.
Trivia: Actual "Cannabis Experts" were brought in to consult with actor Fran Kranz, so he could properly portray a convincing stoner in the film.
Question: Is there a reason, that a facility full of monsters would ever, under any circumstances have a System Purge button? Is it just to make satire of the fact that the antagonist is usually stupid?
