Mistakes

In the mine, David Arquette and the others start to smell the methane gas and one of the people even quips "It wasn't me." However, methane is an odorless gas and therefore they probably wouldn't have had any way to tell if it was there. See more...

At several points where town's folk are being chased in the mine, Chris mentions that the smallest spark will cause a devastating explosion. He then proceeds to take the motorcycle to rescue his aunt, and then starts the bike for a quick escape. As soon as the bike starts, they'd all be dead as a spark is needed to ignite the petrol, which would also ignite the methane gas. [Yes, but the spark to ignite the bike's petrol is contained inside the engine's cylinders (hence the phrase 'internal combustion engine'). For the engine to ignite the methane, some portion of its exterior would have to exceed the auto-ignition temperature of methane, which is over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Not likely.]

In one of the scenes where Chris and Aunt Gladys are seen riding through the mine they are shown exiting it, but after cutting to a different scene they are shown again still riding through the mine and not at the exit yet. [At one point they are shown riding toward a lighted end of the tunnel, and this is light from outside, but it is only bright relative to the darkness of the tunnel; it's indirect light that has penetrated down the shaft. The observing human eye and camera have compensated for the darkness. They're closer to the exit but never at it until they jump out.]
