Revealing: In the scene when the main character is in the library on the internet, she goes to a couple of websites. When the shot shows the URL up top, it is C:\windows98\mydocuments\etc.html. Instead of actually searching on the web they used a premade html page and accessed it from their computer. It's simple enough to just not display the address bar in your browser, so I don't know why they let this one slip through...

Mistakes
In the scene (in the extra/cut scenes) where Rachel and her sister are talking in the dead girl's room, her sister opens the closet door and we see a flashback of the dead body sitting in the floor. If you use the pause key, you can see a line on the floor indicating where the girl should stay to make the shot. A second later we see the closet without the chalk line. See more...
Trivia
There are many references to heat and water in this movie. For example: 1. It is almost always raining. 2. Samara drowns in a well. 3. The horse jumps off a ship and dies. 4. The tree image that the two characters find was burned onto the wall. 5.The color of the tree's leaves is orange in the sunlight, resembling fire. 6. Samara's father commits suicide by electrocuting himself in a tub full of water (the joining of heat and water). 7. This is the biggest one of all: The sound of a hissing teakettle can be heard on the tape (also the joining of heat and water). There are many more. See more...

The Ring mistakes
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Noah breaks into the mental institution's record room and is looking through Anna's files, there is a visible arm with a blue sleeve to his right, even though he is alone.
Continuity: Samara, as seen in the psychiatric sessions on the videotape, has a prominent gap in her front teeth - yet when she decomposes in Rachel's arms down in the well, the skull that is left has perfect teeth with no visible gap.
The Ring trivia
When you see Samara standing in front of the well (before Anna pushes her in) she is singing a song. The song has the same tune as the music in the video.
If you look closely you can, between some scenes, see a flash of the ring the people see in the beginning of the tape (and what Rachel sees when she's in the well and looks up when the lid is being pushed back on).
This film is an American remake of the Japanese horror/suspense film "Ringu."

The Ring easter eggs
Once you're in the Main Menu, highlight the option where it says "Don't watch this". Then, using the directional arrows, press Down, and then Down again. You'll notice the pointer on the screen will dissappear. Then, press the Select button on your remote. Watch this AFTER seeing the whole movie, otherwise it won't have an effect on you.
