Factual error: When the bloke's head gets cut off in the beginning by the circular saw blade being thrown, surely there would be more blood, like when his mom got killed under the bed?
Idle Hands (1999)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Rodman Flender
Starring: Jessica Alba, Vivica A. Fox, Seth Green, Devon Sawa, Elden Henson
Continuity mistake: When Pnub's head is picked off the kitchen table at the end of the hand-cutting scene, the ring of blood that formed around Pnub's neck stump is joined with the larger pool of blood that it came from. When Pnub and Mick come back to the kitchen later on, the ring is no longer attached to the larger pool. Blood does not evaporate like that when it dries.
Trivia: When the hand is killed and Mick complains about how there was "no explosions of hellfire," this is actually an inside joke. The original ending was completely different, and involved a giant portal, explosions, hellfire and tons of effects. However, this ending was dropped because the filmmakers felt it too scary compared to the rest of the movie. A new, more comedic ending was then shot. Mick complaining about the hand's simple death is a reference to the original, more intricate ending.
Question: How did Anton not remember that he murdered his own parents when he was a killer all along?
