Continuity: The phone that Michael knocks off the hook when flying around his room rings later. Revealing mistakes: Shot of the approach to the cave was filmed and then played backwards. Continuity: Max's jacket is soaked by the Frog Brothers, but can be seen soon after to be dry. FAIR: Before Star gets on David's motorcycle to go to the cave, she isn't wearing a coat. During the motorcycle processional to the cave, she suddenly appears wearing one. However, she can be seen putting on a coat just before this sequence. Continuity: The security guard at the beginning of the movie holds his cap as he runs in close-up shots, but doesn't in long shots. Continuity: The gate jumps back and forth between broken and mended when the dog jumps against it. Crew: When Michael is in his room and he begins to float, his harness is visible. Fact errors: The credits at the end give credit to the poster hanging on the wall in Sam's room as a still from The Breakfast Club (1985). In fact, this picture of Molly Ringwald in a dark blue shirt sitting in a classroom is not from The Breakfast Club, but instead, from Sixteen Candles (1984). SYNC: When the beach concert star performs his song "I Still Believe", his lips are out of synch to the lyrics. Revealing mistakes: Early on, Lucy and Max ('Edward Herrmann' (qv)) enter, but instead of calling him Max, Lucy calls him Ed. Continuity: In the "death by stereo" scene, both of the vampire's hands pop off midway through the electrocution. However, after he has exploded, a clothed forearm with an attached hand falls to the ground. Continuity: At the beginning of the movie when Michael, Lucy and Sam stop at the gas station, Michael unloads his bike from the back of the trailer. Then, during the montage of locals from Santa Carla there is a shot of the three of them in the car again, and then shortly after they pull up at Grampa's and Michael is riding his bike. Continuity: Around one hour into the film, when David and his gang attack a group of people while Michael watches on, one of the victims is the punk with a gray stripe in his hair who was killed earlier in the film. Continuity: The wristwatch clock on the wall advances five minutes after a cutaway when Michael is hovering outside of Sam's window. Continuity: When Michael is having his first "Vampiric episode" , he fall to his knees in front of the refrigerator, spilling the carton of milk he'd been drinking from, leaving it fully open and facing more or less towards the fridge... When Lucy enters the kitchen later, the carton is only half open and facing directly towards the doorway. SYNC: When David is first meeting Michael on the Boardwalk, there is a wide shot in which David is clearly saying something to Star - though no audio can be heard. In the next shot of a close up of David, you can hear and see him saying his line. Revealing mistakes: As the wife of the Board Walk security guard posts her missing persons poster, another poster is visible which advertises an event at the Santa Cruz County Fair Grounds. For the film, Santa Cruz was renamed Santa Carla to avoid associations with the city and the film's gang-related themes. Fact errors: Sam is supposed to be a serious comic book collector. However, during his first encounter with the Frog brothers in the comic book shop, he picks up several comics at the middle of the spine with enough force to bend the spine of the book, the first one pretty severely. Any comic book collector knows that this damages the book and would never pick one up that way. Also, a comic book shop owner would likely go ballistic if a customer handled books this way, or at the very least not let them handle any more books. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When the boys go to the cave to kill the vampires, the stake used to stab the vampire is clearly telescopic. Continuity: SPOILER: In the scene where the Frog brothers and Sam stake one of the vampires, some vampire ooze clearly gets onto the back of Sam's sweater making a big red stain and is there in the next scene. However, when Sam goes into the movie store to warn his mother about the vampires, the big red stain on the back of his sweater is gone. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When David is stabbed by the antlers at the end of the movie there is a close up shot of his face. You can clearly see the line where his makeup eyebrows meet near his eyes. Continuity: The couple in the car reading comics towards the beginning (after stealing a comic from the store), are sat with the comics on the shelf behind them when they hear a noise from outside. Then, when the roof is taken off the car by the vampires and you see the shot from above, they are now sat with all the comics in front of them. Revealing mistakes: In the scene with Michael trying to get into his brothers room by flying outside the window you will notice his reflection in the window, however 'vampires don't cast reflections' just as he doesn't in the mirror a few scenes before. Revealing mistakes: When Sam enters Michael's room after his first encounter with the Lost Boys, Sam opens the blinds to let light in. A second later, light starts pouring in from the bottom right corner of the screen from a mistimed light. Continuity: When Sam is first introduced reading the vampire comic, his dog Nanook is on the left side of the bed, but then after when they show the scene were Sam grabs the beaver art, Nanook appeared to be on the right side of the bed. Crew: When Michael is closing a window in the kitchen preparing for the vampire attack near the end, there's a crew person reflected in the cabinet glass to Michael's left. SYNC: After the boys and Michael ride to the end of the cliff, and Michael is about to punch David, Star yells, "No", but her mouth doesn't move. Fact errors: When Sam gets in bed with his mother, and he is wearing the garlic necklace, his mother exclaims that he smells like garlic. However, the garlic around his neck is still whole in bulbs, and therefore, have a very weak scent, if any. It is not until garlic is peeled that it's smell becomes apparent. Continuity: Water on Max's coat after it was thrown on him. PLOT: Michael was supposed to be Star's first victim for her to become a full-blooded vampire, but at the end of the movie, Max wanted to make Michael and his family into the blood sucking Brady Bunch. So, if Star would have killed Michael like she was supposed to, then how would he have been a part of Max's Brady Bunch family? |

David: Michael wants to know what's going on. Marco, what's going on? Marko: I don't know. What's going on, Paul? Paul: Wait a minute. Who wants to know? Dwayne: Michael wants to know. David: How are those maggots? Michael Emerson: Huh? David: Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste? Edgar Frog: Listen, just so you know, if you try to stop us, or vamp out in any way, I'll stake you without even thinking twice about it! Sam Emerson: Chill out, Edgar. Edgar Frog: [coming to his senses] Right. Grandpa: Second shelf is mine. That's where I keep my rootbeers and my double-thick Oreo cookies. Nobody touches the second shelf but me. David: It is too late, my blood is in your veins. Michael Emerson: So is mine! Sam Emerson: Wait, wait. You *have* a t.v.? Grandpa: No. I just like to read the T.V. Guide. Read the T.V. Guide, you don't need a t.v. Max: Don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy. It renders you powerless. Sam Emerson: Did you know that? Edgar Frog: Of course. Everyone knows that. Grandpa: One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires. David: What, you don't like rice? Tell me Michael, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong? David: Now you know what we are, now you know what you are. You'll never grow old, Michael, and you'll never die. But you must feed! Sam Emerson: [about Star] It's that girl from the boardwalk. Is she one of them? [Star floats up] She's one of them! And don't tell me it doesn't make her a bad person, Mike. Alan Frog: [after Laddie vamps out] Holy shit! It's the attack of Eddie Munster! Max: It was all going to be so perfect, Lucy. Just like one big, happy family. Your boys... and my boys. Edgar Frog: Great! The Bloodsucking Brady Bunch! Sam Emerson: So where're we going? Michael Emerson: Nowhere. Sam Emerson: So what's the rush? You're chasing that girl aren't you? Come on, admit it. I'm at the mercy of your sex glands, bud. Sam Emerson: Got a problem, guys? Edgar Frog: Just scoping your civilian wardrobe. Sam Emerson: Pretty cool, huh? Alan Frog: For a fashion victim. Edgar Frog: Where the hell are you from? Krypton? Edgar Frog: You think you really know what's happening here, don't you? Well, I'll tell you something, you don't know shit, buddy. Alan Frog: Yeah? You think we just work at a comic book store for our folks, huh? Sam Emerson: Actually, I thought it was a bakery. Edgar Frog: This is just a cover; we're dedicated to a higher purpose. We're fighters for truth, justice, and the American way. Grandpa: Hey, anything around here that might pass for aftershave? Sam Emerson: How about some Windex, Grandpa? Grandpa: Yeah, yeah, let me try some of that. Michael Emerson: You have a big date tonight, Grandpa? Grandpa: I'm going to drop my handiwork by the widow Johnson. Michael Emerson: What'd ya stuff for her? Mr. Johnson? Sam Emerson: Look at your reflection in the mirror. You're a creature of the night Michael, just like out of a comic book! You're a vampire Michael! My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy! Edgar Frog: You did the right thing by calling us. Does your brother sleep a lot? Sam Emerson: Yeah, all day. Alan Frog: Does the sunlight freak him out? Sam Emerson: Uh, he wears sunglasses in the house. Edgar Frog: Bad breath, long fingernails? Sam Emerson: Yeah, his fingernails are a little bit longer, um, he always had bad breath, though. Alan Frog: He's a vampire all right. Edgar Frog: All right, here's what you do: get yourself a good sharp stake and drive it right through his heart. Sam Emerson: I can't do that; he's my brother. Alan Frog: OK, we'll come over and do it for you. Sam Emerson: No! Edgar Frog: You'd better get yourself a garlic T-shirt, buddy, or it's your funeral. Sam Emerson: And then his dog started chasing my mom like the hounds of hell in "Vampires Everywhere." Edgar Frog: We've been aware there's some very serious vampire activity in this town for some time. Alan Frog: Santa Carla's become a haven for the undead. Edgar Frog: As a matter of fact, we're almost certain ghouls and werewolves occupy high positions at city hall. Alan Frog: Kill your brother, you'll feel better. Alan Frog: Holy shit, Vampire Hotel. Alan Frog: Aaaaaah! Flies! Edgar Frog: We're on the right trail. Flies and the undead go together like bullets and guns. Come on. Sam Emerson: What's that smell? Edgar Frog: Vampires, my friend, vampires. Alan Frog: We blew it, man, we lost it! Edgar Frog: Shut up! Alan Frog: We unraveled in the face of the enemy! Edgar Frog: It's not our fault, they pulled a mind scramble on us! They opened their eyes and talked! Alan Frog: We don't ride with vampires. Sam Emerson: Fine, stay here. Edgar Frog: [Looks around, clearly scared] We do now. Alan Frog: Yeah. Edgar Frog: Come on Sam, let's get out of here. Burn rubber! [the car accelerates, almost driving over a cliff] Christ! Sam Emerson: Burn rubber does not mean warp speed! Sam Emerson: Guys, we're on our own. Edgar Frog: Good, just the way we like it. Edgar Frog: I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it's never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode, but all will try to take you with them. Sam Emerson: Death by stereo! Edgar Frog: Are you OK? Sam Emerson: I nailed one of them downstairs with a bow and arrow. Alan Frog: All right, Sambo! Edgar Frog: We trashed the one that looks like Twisted Sister. Alan Frog: Totally annihilated his night-stalking ass! Edgar Frog: Well, Nanook helped a little. Alan Frog: Death to all vampires! Edgar Frog: Maximum body count! Edgar Frog: We're awesome monster bashers! Alan Frog: The meanest! Edgar Frog: The baddest! Alan Frog: Notice anything unusual about Santa Carla yet? Sam Emerson: No, it's actually a pretty cool place... if you're a Martian! Edgar Frog: Or, a vampire! Sam Emerson: You guys sniffin' on newsprint or somethin'? [about Grandpa] Michael Emerson: Looks like he's dead! Sam Emerson: If he's dead, can we go back to Phoenix? Sam Emerson: There's no TV! Have you seen a TV, Mike? I haven't seen a TV. Do you know what it means when there's no TV? - No MTV! Sam Emerson: Are you freebasing, Michael? Inquiring minds want to know. Grandpa: [the boys come in carrying Laddie and Star, who are sleeping. Grandpa is totally ignoring the unconscious Laddie in Edgar's arms, and Star in Michael's] Do you know the rule about filling up the car with gas when you take it without asking? Michael Emerson: [Hoping he says nothing about Laddie and Star] No, Grandpa. Grandpa: Well, now you do. Alan Frog: There's our number on the back. And pray you never need to call us. Sam Emerson: I'll pray I never need to call you. Michael Emerson: Look, this isn't a comic book, Sam, these guys are brutal killers. Sam Emerson: So are the Frog brothers! Sam Emerson: Don't kill me, Mike. I'm basically a good kid. Paul: You killed Marco! Edgar Frog: Yeah, and you're next! Paul: No, you're next! [Paul sees garlic in the bathtub] Paul: Haha! Garlic don't work, boys! Edgar Frog: TRY THE HOLY WATER, DEATH BREATH! Michael Emerson: [looking inside Grandpa's work-room] Talk about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Edgar Frog: [in background] I'm the head Frog here. [Max changes into a vampire] Max: I still want you, Lucy. [he flashes his tongue out and Sam and Lucy scream while the rest gasp] Max: I haven't changed my mind about that. David: [offering Michael a drink of blood] Come on, be one of us. David: Initiation's over, Michael. Time to join the club! Max: [reaches for Lucy's hand while strangling Sam] Don't fight, Lucy. It's so much better if you don't fight. Sam Emerson: Mom! Mom, no! Don't do it, Mom! Mom, don't do it! Lucy Emerson: Sam... Sam Emerson: Mom, no! [Lucy reluctantly decides to abandon her humanity by taking Max's hand] Sam Emerson: Mom, no! Lucy Emerson: Sam! [Max attempts to bite her] Dwayne: [standing up after almost getting hit by bow and arrow] You missed, sucker! Sam Emerson: Only once, pal. Grandpa: Ouch, my hair! Sam Emerson: I bet you hate garlic, dontcha! Max: No, I like garlic! It's just a little much! It's raw garlic. Michael Emerson: What's happening to me, Star? Star: Oh, Michael. Michael, I can't tell you. I don't know how to help you. Michael Emerson: What's happening? Star: [whispers] I can't. Grandpa: Lucy, you're the only woman I ever knew that didn't improve her situation by getting divorced. David: They're only noodles Michael. Grandpa: Well, now, let me put it this way. If all the corpses buried around here were to stand up all at once, we'd have one hell of a population problem. Michael Emerson: I can't beat your bike. David: You don't have to beat me, Michael. You just have to keep up. Dwayne: [In the cave, talking to Laddie] Grab the rock box, kid! Michael Emerson: [Sam comes out of the bathroom, Michael's hand is cut up, and bloody] Nanook. Sam Emerson: What about Nanook? What'd you do to my dog, you asshole? Sam Emerson: You're a vampire! I knew it! Michael Emerson: I am not! Sam Emerson: So what are you? The Flying Nun? Lucy Emerson: You got carried away by a comic book? Sam Emerson: It was a scary comic, mom. I'm sorry. Sam Emerson: [Sam gets in bed with her] Have you been eating pizza? Sam Emerson: No. Why? Lucy Emerson: Phew. You smell like garlic. [Sam opens his robe, he is wearing a garlic necklace] Alan Frog: Santa Carla's become a haven for the undead. Edgar Frog: As a matter of fact, we're almost certain that ghouls and werewolves occupy high positions at city hall. Sam Emerson: [yelling out the window to Star] Don't kill anyone until we get back to you! Michael Emerson: [the Frog Brothers are talking about killing Star] Don't you touch her! Edgar Frog: [to Alan] Come on. Vampires have such a rotten temper. Alan Frog: First come, first staked. Sam Emerson: What was that? A little vampire humor? Well, it wasn't funny! Edgar Frog: [the Frog Brothers walk in the room, carrying loads of stakes. To Sam] Okay, where's Nosferatu? Sam Emerson: Who? Edgar Frog: The prince of darkness. Alan Frog: The night crawler. The bloodsucker. Edgar Frog: El Vampiro. Sam Emerson: Mike! They're here! Star: [after Max is killed] It's over. It's over. Laddie: [Runs down the stairs] Star! Star! Star: Laddie! [They hug] Edgar Frog: How much do you think we should charge them for this? |
