Continuity mistake: At the house of the cannibals, when they spot them approaching the house through the window, the woman is wearing dark coloured pants and a whiteish coat. Shortly after, when she enters the house, she is wearing a red skirt, dark coat and a completely different hat. (00:37:15 - 00:37:44)
The Road (2009)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Hillcoat
Starring: Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee
Plot hole: The sheer quantity of people that the man and boy encounter is absurd. If the majority of people worldwide are deceased, then the Americas, where the film is set, would be nearly depopulated. They should have not encountered many, if any, people simply because the survivors would either be in isolated town or cities or they would be holed in remote rural areas. Since the two largely avoid the former and the size of the latter precludes easy visitation, they shouldn't have run into anyone for most, if not all, of the film.
