When Buck accidentally takes the stray cat into the house, if you look in the slat between the frame and the door you can see a crewmember waiting to close it, not the kids. This person is too big for a 6 year old. See more...

Corrections

In the scene where Buck hits golf balls at Bug, look closely at the golf club that Buck pulls out of the car. It is a wood for left-handed players - yet Buck hits the ball righty. [No, Buck actually hits the ball left handed. Look closely and you will see he is hitting the ball from the left side. The scene is correct, with the correct clubs for Buck.]

When Buck kidnaps Tia's boyfriend "Bug" and puts him in the trunk of his car there is no way Bug could have survived because the automobile emissions and the gag in his mouth would have suffocated him. [The gag was in his mouth, not covering his nose. He could breathe fine. As for the possibility of carbon monoxie poisoning, when the car was in motion the exhaust would trail behind the vehicle; with all the damage to the car there was plenty of fresh air from outside getting into the trunk.]

When Buck pulls up to the party to rescue Tia, someone screams just a little too soon before the car backfires. [That is the sound of James Brown starting the song 'I Feel Good'.]
