Mistakes

The purple bruise on Ash's face near the end of the movie goes from very large to small, and changes from light to dark throughout shots. See more...

When they are preparing and listening to the tape you can see a bit of smoke in the air. There had been an extended scene where they had been smoking pot and joking around. However, they used real pot when filming and much of what was shot ended up being unusable as a result. This is according to Bruce Campbell's Commentary to the DVD. See more...

When Ash is frightened towards the end of the film, he shoots at the living room window next to the mirror with a shotgun at close range. Instead of the whole whole of the glass and frame being blown away, a small hole as from a rifle or handgun in shown in a corner of the window with two pieces of the window glass intact and wavering. [There is nothing factually wrong with this, as that really was the actor firing a real gun through a real window. (DVD commentary confirms this.).]

When the car drives over the bridge you can plainly see that the boards that break and fall are hollowed out to ensure their collapse. [The boards are not hollowed out, but they are slightly discolored. In reality, they are styrofoam, but you could make the argument the discoloration is from rotting.]
