The Ring (2002)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Gore Verbinski
Starring: Naomi Watts, Brian Cox, Daveigh Chase, Jane Alexander, Martin Henderson, David Dorfman
Revealing mistake: In the scene when the main character is in the library on the internet, she goes to a couple of websites. When the shot shows the URL up top, it is C:\windows98\mydocuments\etc.html. Instead of actually searching on the web they used a premade html page and accessed it from their computer.
Dr. Scott: You don't want to hurt anyone.
Samara Morgan: But I do, and I'm sorry. It won't stop. Everyone will suffer.
Question: I know that the images in the tape represent things that happened to or around Samara, but what is the point of the nail going through someone's finger? I know they can't show every second of Samara's life so we might not see a connection, but that part of the tape really grossed me out and so I want to know if someone knows why it was put there, or was it just the gross-out factor?
Answer: In the movie Rings, the main girl gets her finger nail stabbed by a nail.

Chosen answer: Samara broke her finger nail clawing at the walls of the well... I guess that's why it's on the tape also.
