Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning

Revealing mistake: When Jason is raising the machete above Tommy in the woods, it's obvious that his eyeholes are covered with black cloth. This also happens at the end of the movie, where Tommy hallucinates about Jason in the hospital. (00:04:45)

Revealing mistake: When Vinnie has a road flare shoved into his mouth, it is obviously a dummy as the road flare is inserted (his skin is much paler than in previous shots). (00:24:30)

Revealing mistake: When Tommy is about to slice Roy's arm, you can see that he is not really holding the machete in his hand. (01:19:20)

Revealing mistake: During several of the deaths committed by the impostor, look closely. The shirt sleeves are dark green instead of the dark blue sleeves of the jumpsuit the impostor wears. Clearly Tom Morga, the hallucination of Jason, did these scenes instead of Dick Wieand, Roy Burns/impostor Jason.

Revealing mistake: When Pam is out looking for everybody, when they show her inside the truck, her hands don't appear to be on the wheel.

Plot hole: When the cop shows Pam the newspaper clippings they include what look to be fresh photos of the real Jason from the events of Part IV, yet no photographer is ever seen taking pictures of Jason alive in the previous films and most likely wouldn't live long enough to publish the photo.

More quotes from Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning

Trivia: A fan theory on Reddit suggest that Roy Burns was possessed by the spirit of Jason Voorhees. There is some credence to this theory considering that the murders Roy committed would require inhuman strength, he broke down a solid wooden door by just walking through it and when he got hit by a tractor, he got back up very quickly. How he got possessed by Jason however has never been explained.
