Mistakes

In the scene where Pat and Bruce are in the garage being chased by the cars covered in ice and snow, the cars pull out to face them and you can see that the windscreens on the cars have tiny spy holes for the drivers to see through but in the next shot when the cars are still and parked, the spy holes have been covered up.

Entry When Carol-Anne opens the bathroom door to tell Donna that she looks great, in the mirrors reflection her jumpsuit buttons up to the left. In the next shot of Carol-Anne, we see her jumpsuit still buttons up to the left. [That's because that reflection of her is of the parallel side. Notice she says "you look great" twice. Once is her, the other was the parallel apparition. Notice that any time something "ghostly" happens in a mirror or reflection, it is not a true reverse, such as the letters on someone's jacket. This signifies the ghosts from the real images, and was done on purpose for the film. (See other corrections for this film.)]

Entry When Lara Flynn Boyle and her boyfriend (or their ghost look alike)walk down the corridor after pushing the shrink down the elevator shaft. The image of herself in the hallway is mirrored, but the image in the mirror isn't (look at the letters on her jacket). Shouldn't it be the other way around?. [That part of the movie's after the girl and her boyfriend get pulled into the mirror. They had switched places with their spiritual reflections..so the person outside of the mirror was actually the reflection of the one inside of the mirror, that is the whole point, so it was like that on purpose.]
Entry When Carol Ann is left in her bedroom by her uncle and aunt, when they leave for the party, she gets up and leans against the window. Her movements aren't synchronised with the movements in the mirror at the back of the room. [This is put there on purpose to coincide with the rest of the movie, like when Carol Anne tells Donna she looks great when she isnt even in the room, or when Bruce walks away but he is still in the mirror.]
Entry At the party, Aunt Trish is sitting in front of some mirrors, when one of the workers apparently knocks something over. She rises, and her reflection isn't synchronised. [The film is based on the fact that the 'spirits' are in the mirror, so throughout the whole film the mirrors aren't the same as the actual movements of the actors.]
