Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter

Revealing mistake: Near the end when Jason throws the hammer at the girl, it sticks to the damaged part of the wall after it hits. But it's just against the wood with the flat top, there's nothing to hold the hammer there and it's only hit the wood on the other side of the wall. They probably used a magnet to attract and keep it there for safety reasons. (01:15:00)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Trish jumps out through the window, rolls off the deck, and lands on the ground below, she obviously lands on a mat or some other protective device covered to look like mud. It jiggles like jelly in a perfect square when she lands on it. (01:18:15)

Jimmy: Ted. I think... I think when we get to town I should call Betty.
Ted: Jimbo, calling Betty is definitely a dead fuck thing to do. Look, first rule of love: never get rejected by the same girl twice. I mean, that's useless. If you want to make a fool out of yourself, always do it with someone new.
Jimmy: I don't know anyone new.
Ted: Well, sex is a great way to meet them.

Trivia: When Judie Aronson, who plays Samantha, was filming the scene in the raft where she gets killed, they were doing so many takes. She was wet and cold and wanted to warm up. The director refused until he got the shot he wanted which made Judie cry and freak out. Ted White, who played Jason, was so upset about this that he demanded they get her a blanket and let her get warmed up or he would walk off the set and not come back. Needless to say, Judie got warmed up very quickly.
