Suggested correction: She did watch TV in the house of the man dressed as Satan so maybe someone said it on TV.

Mary Sanderson was watching television, not Winifred.

Movie Nut

Suggested correction: There is a lot the movie doesn't show us about who they've passed and what they heard all evening. One example being we don't know everything the bus driver said to them. It's perfectly reasonable they heard somebody make reference to a driver's permit and the movie did not show us this conversation deeming it invalid to the plot.

Not referring to a learner's permit. She would have known what it means. She's emulating a cop pulling him over. She would have to know what that means...and know the difference between a license and a learners permit. Enough to find it funny and relevant to the situation.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday picture

Other mistake: In the scene at the beginning where Phil eats Jason's Heart, you'll notice that he screams like a monster for a bit. Don't you think that the two security guards would easily hear the screaming and intervene, being that they're in the very next room? (00:13:40)

Trauma picture

Plot hole: In the scene in the hotel, David sees the victim's head on the floor after the killer left. Later when David is in a hospital bed he is watching TV and the reporter claims that all the heads were in Judd's car. The killer would have had to have gone back into the hotel room to get the head of that victim after David saw it. She would have put it in her bag right away if she was saving them all. The bag was even left behind. (01:12:30 - 01:25:00)
