Goofs

Continuity: The thickness of the Encyclopedia of Urban Legends changes while Natalie is holding it. Continuity: When the girl is trying to escape from the gas station attendant at the gas station, she drives off with the pump still in the gas tank. The next shot of her vehicle shows a rear shot of the SUV and the gas cap is screwed back into the gas tank. Continuity: When Sasha is flipped over the railing, she catches hold of the platform. In different shots her hands are in different positions. Revealing mistakes: When Parker's body falls out of the closet his pulse is seen in the side of his neck. PLOT: In the final scene, the lead character's abdomen is seen being cut open with a scalpel. We then see her scream in pain. Minutes later, she is no worse for wear, considering the major incision in her stomach. There is no more mention of this "pain" for the rest of the film because the scene was added at the last minute. Continuity: After one character has been hit with an axe, it swings into view without a drop of blood on it. Continuity: In the finale, the slide projected changes from shot to shot. Continuity: In the opening scene at the gas station, Michelle is wearing heeled black boots, but when she leaves the gas station, feet with different shoes are shown in the close-up of the pedals (which are the pedals of a much older vehicle). The shot is taken from later in the film. Fact errors: Blood congeals after half an hour exposed to oxygen; it is therefore impossible that the character's wrists would still be bleeding enough to soak through the white sheet that the coroner's men put on her in the morning. Continuity: At the Frat party, Paul and Natalie are sitting talking about what's going on. Paul puts his hand on Natalie's face and Natalie then puts her hand on Paul's wrist near his thumb. As the shot changes from Paul to Natalie, her hand appears and disappears with each shot. Crew: In the car, the camera and some lights are reflected in the killer's faceplate. SYNC: The volume on the car stereo has been turned right down when Natasha pushes a tape into it, yet we can still hear the tape. Continuity: During Sasha's radio show, she removes the spoffle (pop shield) from the microphone. It reappears on the mic seconds later, then disappears again. Continuity: When Damon falls from the tree, he goes through the windshield head first. In the subsequent shot of Damon's corpse, his head is sticking out of the windshield. Revealing mistakes: Parker's cordless telephone is in memory mode, not caller ID mode when he receives a call from the killer. SYNC: When we hear Parker say, "What's next? Spiders in the bubble gum?" his lips are mouthing something else completely. Continuity: Throughout the movie characters hair will go from dry to wet, to dry again. Continuity: When the campus police lady slips on the large puddle of blood in the professor's office, her whole back side should be covered in blood but in later scenes there is no blood on the back of her pants or coat. Continuity: Near the end of Sasha's chase scene, she enters the room and locks the door. However, the killer manages to get in without unlocking it. Continuity: At the end, when Brenda punches Natalie, she punches her on her right cheek. When Natalie regains consciousness, the bruise is on her left cheek. Crew: There is a safety cable visible when Sasha is hanging over the stair-rail (at right arm). |

Sasha: Spit it out Felicia. Felicia: Thats just the problem, I didn't. Dean Adams: Missing? He's not missing! It's the weekend. He's most likley shacked up in some motel with a girl. Or a guy... farm animal... whatever! Weren't you ever eighteen? Reese Wilson: Not that kind of eighteen. Parker: Please, Damon is the biggest practical joker I know. He once convinced a sophomore that he was the middle Hanson brother just so he could get laid. [to Natalie, Brenda, Paul, and Sasha] Parker: Don't you guys get it? Come on, it's just like that urban legend. Natalie: What are you talking about? Parker: You know the story, A boy and a girl, parked out in the woods, making out... Brenda: [to Natalie] You made out with him? Damon: Hey, we're going down to Parker's dorm. Hootie's gonna pierce his nose. Natalie: Hootie's a dog, Damon. Damon: That's no reason why he can't be hip. Brenda: [stabbing Natalie with the scalpel] Is this the kidney? Or is that the Liver? Oh,well. First organ I see, I'm just gonna grab it! [Brenda digs the scalpel in deeper, but Reese bursts through the door with her gun aimed at Brenda] Reese Wilson: Drop the weapon! Brenda: [turns around and sees Reese] Oh great! Rent-a-cop to the rescue. Reese Wilson: Move over the the window, now, you loony psycho bitch! Bitchy Girl: [watching 'Tosh's' dead body being carried out on a stretcher] You should check her pulse, she's been like that for years. Natalie: Brenda, you need help. Brenda: I have already tried therapy! Obviously, it did me no good, Natalie. Brenda: I must say, Natalie, you have proven your friendship to me. Coming all the way out here without even a little pepper spray to defend yourself with. Parker: [to Paul] If we ever have another E. Coli crisis in the cafeteria, I want you to have the biggest, juiciest burger. My treat. Damon: I'll see you two in class tomorrow. Brenda: Unfortunately! Natalie: Someone's taking all of these urban legends, and making them reality. Natalie: You're fucking crazy! Brenda: I prefer the term "eccentric". But, yeah, I guess I'm a little "nutty". Brenda: Don't you want to be an urban legend, Nat? All your friends are now. Tosh Guaneri: Turn off the fucking light! Damon: Are you sure you don't wanna think this over? Cos, I'm all about you, Natalie. Natalie: One black eye or two Damon. You decide. Damon: Fine. I'm gonna go take a piss. Professor William Wexler: Had those before? Brenda: Yeah. They're Pop Rocks; they crackle in your mouth. Professor William Wexler: Eat some... thirsty?... What's wrong? Something you might have heard about mixing Pop Rocks and Soda? Brenda: Well, supposedly, your stomach and your intestines and everything bursts. Paul Gardener: Hey, how about some interviews? You know, students react to the tragedy on campus. Brenda: Okay. I am saddened, and moved by the tragic... Natalie: This was someone's life Paul. Did you even spend one minute thinking about that? Paul Gardener: No, I didn't. But because of my story, three-thousand five-hundred students will. I think that's enough to help me sleep at night. Michael McDonnell, gas station attendant: Someone's in the back... SEAT! Paul Gardener: How long have you been working here? Weird Janitor: Too damn long. Natalie: [after previously walking in on Tosh having sex] Hey Tosh, sorry about last night. Tosh Guaneri: Yeah? Well, don't let it happen again. Natalie: [notices a tub of Lithium on the floor] Here you dropped these. [Tosh takes them and goes back to the internet. Natalie picks up the phone but it's dead as Tosh is online] Umm... Tosh; excuse me. Tosh Guaneri: [angrily turns the computer out and puts out her cigarette] This is my phone-line too! [Damon has just sneaked up on Brenda and Natalie, proceeding to scare them half to death] Damon: Boo! Brenda: [In disgust] Is that what you do in your spare time, Damon? Just go around scaring people like a freak? Reese Wilson: Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Weird Janitor: Boo. Bitchy Girl: [says to Natalie while Natalie is walking to her dorm] Sounds like Elvira's raising more than just the dead in there. Natalie: Thanks for the tip. Reese Wilson: [imitating Coffy on TV] This is the end of your rotten life you mother fucking dope pusher! It was easy for him because he really didn't think it was coming, but it ain't gonna be easy for you cuz you better believe it's coming! [Natalie enters] Girl, what's the matter with you? Natalie: They killed him! Somebody killed him! Reese Wilson: You mind telling me what the hell you're on? Natalie: Nothing! Reese I'm telling you the truth, it was right here... the car was... Reese Wilson: Right here. Natalie: Reese, I saw his body, I touched it. It was probably the same person who killed Michelle Mancini. Reese Wilson: That's impossible, baby, the police arrested that gas station attendant this afternoon. Paul Gardener: Hey, what was all that about? Reckless endangerment? We're not exactly talking about running a stop sign, are we? Natalie: I really don't want to talk about it. Paul Gardener: Okay, then what do you want me to talk about? My career options without a body of writing samples? Because for your information, now that I'm off the paper thanks to you, my samples and resume are kind of limited. Natalie: It was in high school, Paul! It's over! Paul Gardener: Look, does this have something to do with Michelle Mancini? Natalie: I told you, I don't want to talk about it! Paul Gardener: Hey, I just want to know what's going on here... 'mad killer on campus'... 'cause I don't know if I buy it anymore. I don't know if I ever bought it. Parker: [into a phone] Hello? Hello? Killer: [distorted voice] You're gonna die tonight. Parker: [into the phone] Oh, really? Let's see... this call is coming from inside this house. Could it be... an urban legend? Am I right? [pause] Parker: Hello? Hey, don't get shy on me all of a sudden fuck-face. This is the one about the babysitter, right? She's getting those scary and harassing phone calls and when she traces them back, they are coming from inside the house. But asswipe, aren't you forgetting something? I'm not babysitting any kids! Killer: [voice] Wrong legend! This is the one about the old lady who dries her wet dog in the microwave oven. [Parker suddenly turns back and looks towards the microwave oven that he doesn't remember being on] |
