To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again.

Roach sets off a trap which sends "Prince" sliding through a giant slide to the kitchen. That is almost impossible for Roach to build a perfect slide through the house into a drawer in the kitchen - wouldn't the parents notice it? [Apparantly not.]

When Fool escapes from the house and calls the police there is an army of cops and child protective service people there yet not one of them even thinks to search the basement or the scorched bullet ridden upper floors of the house. [Remember, Fool broke into their home. If they tell the cops that,he loses credibility.]
When the police and child protective services people are in the house after Fool escapes and calls them to report abuse, he somehow winds up hiding in a kitchen cabinet while they're there. Why doesn't he just show the cops where the basement prison is? [Not to sound racist or anything but think about it. Even if Fool did do that who would the cops believe? The white couple that owns the house or an african american boy who knows about the secret only because he broke into the house?]
At almost the very end, when the people under the stairs are finally outside of the basement and begin coming out of the woodwork (literally), there is one man that breaks out of the wall near the floor to try and grab at the wife. In very plain view, the 'V' slit in the back of his mask is visible. Seems the costume poeple hadn't seen the need to tuck it under the shirt or close it up. [Actually, a little later in the scene you see the front of his face and see that he IS wearing mask that covers the top half of his face, so this is not an error. It was meant to be that way.]
When Fool, Leroy, and their ally are driving around the streets of a suburb near Detroit, there are palm trees along the sides of the road, but there aren't any palm trees in Michigan. [It is never stated that the film is set in Michigan. I'm pretty sure it is L.A.]
