| Mistakes | ||||||||
| In the beginning sequence, when the first zombie attacks the car, he beats the window repeatedly. He then grabs a rock and actually shatters the window. Barbara the releases the emergency-break lever, and rolls down the road, hitting a tree. But when she escapes from the car, the broken window appears to be rolled down and also, no glass falls out of the car when the door opens. Attack of the stunt windows! | ||||||||
| While Barbara is praying at the gravesite, Johnny is standing next to her, waiting for her to finish. At the site of lightning and sound of thunder, he reaches into his coat pockets for his gloves and puts them on. Unfortunately, he left this pair of gloves on the dashboard of their car when they first arrived at the graveyard, how many men carry more than one pair of the same gloves, if any? I know very, very few. | ||||||||
| As the first zombie approaches Johnny and Barbara, his position and distance from them changes inconsistently with the actual time given. Although he is incredibly slow moving, he manages to move about 30 yards in 4 seconds. He is about 25-30 yards away in one shot, and 4 seconds later he is coming up to Barbara and grabs her. But then in movies, time always seems to move about three times faster than real life. | ||||||||
| As Barbara sails down hill away from the graveyard to escape the pursuing zombie, she crashes the car into a tree on the side of the road. However, in the initial camera angle two seconds before the crash, the car is a good two feet or so away from the tree. However, when the camera angle changes to show the actual impact, the same front section of the car that was 2 feet away is now running up against the tree, forcing Barbara to exit on the passenger's side. | ||||||||
| Despite the several references in the film to the zombies being slow moving, at times they seem to move very fast. | ||||||||
| When Barbara enters the farmhouse and wanders around the interior, she looks out some windows, however, these must be a portal into another dimension where the day time passes very fast as the light keeps changing from light to dark, then back and then dark again. Michael Fish and his god damned weather reports claim another victim! | ||||||||
| During the night-time shots of the zombies staggering around, phantom lights mysteriously illuminate them so that they appear easily to the viewer. Those bastard electricians have been at it again! | ||||||||
| When Ben attacks and kills the zombies inside the house with a crobar, he attacks them in bloody rage. But then when it comes time to burn their bodies, his clothes have visited the phantom dry cleaners! They are clean and free from zombie gore! | ||||||||
| When telling of her attack in the graveyard, Barbara says that the zombie tried to speak to her, but in that scene, he didn't, anyway, zombies can barely walk let alone talk! Unless their name is Bub. | ||||||||
| In the scene during which Mr. Cooper and Tom make their appearance, Tom seems to be sweating inconsistently, a sweat stain appears and disappears and so on. Slacker. | ||||||||
| When it the time comes to board up the windows, the farmhouse suddenly turns into a sawmill and wood is pouring from every place in the house. This error is corrected in the remake where Uncle Reege is fixing the house up, so a reason for the wood is there. | ||||||||
