Freddy Vs. Jason (2003) - 68 mistakes

Revealing: When Linderman dashes at Jason and impales him with an American flag, Will is dragging Lori (who is supposed to be unconscious). He's dragging Lori by her arms... but when he suddenly reaches behind his back with his right arm, her right arm stays up in the air.

Revealing: When Freddy and Jason are fighting towards the end of the movie, Freddy cuts Jason's fingers off so he drops his machete. But when Freddy catches it you can easily see that it isn't a real one (its made of rubber, or something like that).

Revealing: When Jason throws Linderman against the wall, if you slow it down, you can see that the person Jason throws looks nothing like Linderman, it is OBVIOUSLY the stunt double.

Visible crew/equipment: In the dream fight between Freddy and Jason, you can see the wire that holds the machete up when Freddy catches it after Jason swings it.

Continuity: When Mark tells Kurt he never does checkers, we see Will holding his hand down on the table. When it cuts he has his hand up by his chin.

Continuity: When Freddy and Jason get hit by the cart at the construction site, they land next to each other on the dock. But in the next shot, we see Jason getting up quite a distance away from Freddy.

Revealing: As soon as the drunk kid sets Jason on fire there's a few quick shots of Jason's face but there's a perfect hole right through his head where his eye is supposed to be and you can see the night sky through it. Some people say it's a reflection off the goggles to protect the actor from the flames. Either way it's a mistake.

Continuity: When the girls are at Lori's, just after Kia asks them if they think she needs a nose job, the lights flicker. When they flicker Kia is holding a compact in her left hand and she begins to close it. Both hands are up by her face but then the angle changes to a wider shot and her left hand is empty and on her lap and the compact is in her right hand as she places it on the sofa.

Continuity: When Lori explains she haven't had much sleep lately, Kia says "Lori, you had to sleep at the police station.". If you look at Kia's purse's straps you can see some of Kia's dress sticking up between the straps. When it cuts the piece of her dress no longer sticks up between the straps.

Continuity: After they have sedated Mark the institution guards throw him on the bed, and we see him landing on the pillow. Two shots later he is off the pillow.

Continuity: When Mark turns up at school telling about Freddy to Lori, as he says "Then he came back" we see Lori pulling her hair back with her hand without lowering her hand. When it cuts, her hand is suddenly down.

Continuity: When the skinny-dipping girl reaches the ladder attached to the pier, you see her grab it with her left hand. When it cuts she holds on to it with her right hand.

Continuity: When Jason throws Linderman to the wall he gets impaled by a sharp object stuck to the wall. However as Linderman is flying against the wall before hitting it the object isn't there.

Continuity: When the teens enter the mental institution to get the dream suppressant drug, it shows a security guard drawing his pistol in alert to an intruder banging on a door. The next shot cuts to show the response of two teens hearing a single shot fired, and then cuts back to show the security guard under the door with four big dents from Jason and two bullet holes. The holes are located at the top right hand corner of the door and the other near the door handle.

Continuity: At school when Lori approaches Will, she puts her hand on his chin. Will then places his hand on Lori's hand and says "I thought you might be in trouble," while their hands still are on his chin. When it cuts, their hands are suddenly down.

Continuity: In the boiler room in Jason's "dream", the container that pins Jason to the floor lands directly on top of him. However, in the close-up of it still pinning him down, you see Jason's upper-body sticking out to the side.

Continuity: In the scene when Kia and Gibb meet Lori outside on the school bench after Trey's death look a few moments later, you see a close up shot of Gibb putting the cigarette towards her mouth and almost reaches her lips, in the very next shot Gibb has the cigarette down in her hand and then a second later she then puts it to her mouth.

Visible crew/equipment: When Freddy is brought into the real world and is fighting Jason in the cabin, look carefully as Jason picks up Freddy and pushes him out the window, you can see a cable attached to Freddy's chest in a close up.

Continuity: In the fight scene at the pier, after Freddy and Jason get thrown into the air by the carriage that smacks into them, they land on the pier in sort of slow motion. Watch Jason's left knee as he lands, you can see a kneepad.

Continuity: When the guards leave after sedating Mark, Will gets up in his bed and we see Will's pillow askew. When it cuts his pillow is straight.

Continuity: At the institution when they find the coma patients, Will picks up some papers from the patient's charts. The way Will holds the papers differs in the shot when Lori says "Who would do this to people?"

Continuity: In one scene a security guard gets squashed by a door. It then pans over the door, and you can see large grey marks in the door, from where it's been bashed in by Jason. The dents are quite different from when the camera pans over the door, to the wideshot.

Continuity: The end of Jason's machete changes throughout the whole movie. Sometimes it has a rounded end, sometimes it has a pointed end and so on.

Revealing: When Freddy is about to kill Gibb, the claw near the top right that is in the locker bends like rubber.

Factual error: When Jason throws his flaming machete into the fat guy's neck at the party, the way the machete is thrown is impossible. It flies straight, as though it were shot out of a gun. When Jason throws the machete, it should be spinning.

Deliberate "mistake": During the fight scene at Crystal Lake, Freddy stabs Jason's eyes, causing them to bleed very badly. But when Jason falls into the lake, we see him closing his eyes, and his eyes are perfect.

Revealing: In the fight scene nearing the end, Freddy cuts off Jason's fingers. However you can tell that he completely misses Jason's hand, and in addition you can see the pre-made cuts that indicate where the fingers will fall off.

Plot hole: The sheriff orders a 24 hour roadblock on the town, yet the van has no trouble driving to Crystal Lake.

Continuity: In the fight scene on the pier, just after Freddy has sliced off Jason's fingers, Jason blocks the machete, Freddy slashes him with the glove and then cuts Jason's chest with the machete and raises the machete for a downward blow. They are now standing face to face. However, when Freddy makes this cut, Jason's back is all of a sudden turned, enabling Freddy to cut his leg from behind. There was no time for him to turn around between cuts.

Continuity: When Lori, Kia and Gibb meet and they hug each other, we see Kia putting her arm on Gibb's shoulder. When it cuts Lori's hand is on Gibb's shoulder and Kia's hand is on Gibb's back.

Continuity: When Freddy, disguised as Mark's brother, approaches Mark saying he's gonna send them a message, the dirt on Mark's face differs between the shots.

Continuity: Before Jason kills Trey, we see Trey getting a can of beer. Beside that beer there is another can, which change position in the next shot.

Deliberate "mistake": When Jason throws Freddy to the wall in the burning house, you can see a window on the wall. Now, the distance between the window and the corner of the wall is about five feet. This gives Freddy space enough to hit the wall and not hit the window. However when Jason picks Freddy up you can see the distance has increased to about one feet. It's like they've put in an extra window where there should be a wall instead.

Continuity: When Freddy's shadow impales Blake, you see Blake running off the street. When it cuts you see Blake running off the street again in the background.

Continuity: In the scene where Linderman and the deputy is watching Freeburg throwing all the Hypnocil pills down the drain, they are looking through a glass. Then you see Jason coming up from behind lifting his left arm with the machete reflected in the window. When it cuts he lifts his arm again but this time it is his right arm.

Continuity: When Will and Lori are driving in the van you see a car's headlights behind them in a close up shot. However, in the previous wide angle shot, there was no car driving behind them.

Other: When the kid gets the flaming machete through him at the party, some of the blood he spits lands on the camera at the lower right corner.

Continuity: When Freeburg and Shack are handing out the flyer's for the party, we see Kia cross her arms as Gibb ask Lori if she wants to go. When it cuts Kia has her arms down.

Continuity: When Kia removes Jason's mask we see Linderman holding on to his knee with his finger out. When it cuts his fingers are clenched.

Continuity: When Mark is telling about Freddy to Lori we see her holding her ears, then as Will appear, she takes her hands off her ears and lower her hands. When it cuts back to her she is still holding her ears, then she lower her hands again.

Continuity: When the girl goes skinny-dipping you see her leaving her purse and clothes on the pier. When it cuts they have suddenly disappeared.

Revealing: In the cabin fight scene while Jason is trying to free his machete from the table, Kia picks up a wrench and starts hitting him. When she hits him across the face, you can see the wrench bend in her hand.

Audio problem: About fifteen minutes into the movie, when Gibb says, "I am so under the limit, Lori," her lips don't match the line.

Continuity: When Lori says "Why don't you start in the kitchen and get us some beers" Kia sits next to her with her hand to her mouth eating popcorn. The hand keeps changing from being down and being by her mouth between the shots.

Revealing: After Jason has killed Stubbs, we see all the kids in the room looking for Hypnocil. Then we see Stubbs being 'thrown' through the door. However we can see the stunt double come running before going through the door. So he isn't actually thrown.

Revealing: When Mark's back catches fire it is obvious in some shots that his back is covered in some sort of flammable plastic.

Continuity: In the end of the movie when Jason comes through the water stabbing Freddy with his own glove, you can see the spikes only coming out of Freddy's chest. When it cuts to Freddy falling to his knees, the whole fist and parts of his armwrist suddenly has gone through his chest.

Revealing: In the final fight scene where Freddy and Jason are outdoors, Freddy gets his leg caught in a rope and is hung upside down. This causes his pant leg to rise revealing an unburned limb, which OBVIOUSLY was not covered with make up.

Revealing: In the scene where Lorie is dreaming, and where she appears in front of her house towards the end, if you play it frame by frame, you can see some extra leaves appear when Lorie pops into the frame.

Revealing: At the final battle scene where Freddy and Jason, Freddy knocks over a bucket of spikes that land on Jason. Right before he does that they show a close up shot of Jason and you can very see normal skin of the actor Ken Kirzinger right underneath his left eye.

Continuity: In the scene where the teen tranquilizes Jason and gets cut in half, we see the two parts of the body in the left side of the hallway. After a few scenes, when the camera gets a close-up of the bodyparts, we see one in the left side of the hallway and the other one in the right side.

Continuity: When the sheriff says, "Or so help me God I will lock you up," to Stubbs, you see the sheriff lift his hand with the cigar up. When it cuts his hand is down.

Continuity: When the three girls are sitting outside the school, Gibb puts her cigarette to her lips twice.

Continuity: When Jason slams his machete in to the panel and gets electrocuted, the panel is pretty damaged. When it cuts to him grabbing onto Stubbs, it shows the panel again, much less damaged.

Revealing: When the drug "Hypnocil" is researched on the Internet, an article about the drug appears. If you pause the shot and read the article, you can see that it has nothing to do about Hypnocil. The article is about drug testing of students who engage in extracurricular activities.

Continuity: When Mark says "The parents burned him alive" you see Lori lifting her hand to her head. When it cuts her hand is gone.

Continuity: Out at the party when Kia comes to Will and Lori and says, "Let's go shake our ass on the dance floor," you see Linderman standing a few feet away from Will. When it cuts Linderman is suddenly close to Will handing him a beer.

Continuity: When Jason crashes through the cabin wall and slashes the teen, a crate on Jason's right foot alternates from being on / off between shots.

Continuity: When Kia is flicking through a magazine, the page she's on changes from closeups to wideshots. You can tell by the pictures and text.

Revealing: When Lori decapitates Freddy at the end, it's obvious Freddy is a dummy.

Revealing: When Jason sends Kia's body flying into the tree during the fight scene at Crystal Lake, you can see the dummy's arm go flying off of the dummy, in the upward direction, in the shot after the body makes contact with the tree.

Revealing: In the scene where Jason kills the kid by throwing his flaming machete through his body, it is so obvious that the guy has a mouth full of fake blood in the slow motion shot, right before Jason impales him with the torch.

Continuity: In the opening sequence, when Heather (Skinny-Dipping Girl) runs down the pier, the first overhead lamp sways violently back and forth. However, in the next shot a second later the lamp is dead still.
