Factual error: When the milk tanker detaches from the truck hauling all of the side lights remain lit. The lights are powered from the truck through cables that would definitely disconnect in this scenario. (00:08:10 - 00:09:00)
The Dead Zone (1983)
1 factual error
Directed by: David Cronenberg
Starring: Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Herbert Lom, Tom Skerritt, Brooke Adams
Revealing mistake: The stunt dummy that falls from the balcony in John's stead is pretty obvious. Its blank face is even visible briefly as it falls, and again when it lands. (01:37:40)
Greg Stillson: My God! What a glorious day.
Sonny Elliman: Amen.
Trivia: During Johnny's visions, his involuntary jerks were achieved by David Cronenberg firing a .357 Magnum revolver loaded with blanks from behind the camera.
