The Evil Dead mistakes

Mistake Revealing: When Ash shoots Cheryl through the door in the head, you can clearly see the hose (not an artery) that's squirting out the blood.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the cellar door 'opens itself' look very close, and for a few seconds you can see the arm of a crew member pushing up the cellar door, then quickly pulling their arm back down.

Mistake Audio problem: When their car is making a sharp turn at the beginning of the film, you can hear the tires screeching. This could only happen if they were on concrete, not on a dirt road.

The Evil Dead trivia

Mistake When Ash is in the cellar, a poster for Wes Craven's film "Hills Have Eyes" is hung on the wall. Wes then repaid the compliment in "Nightmare on Elm Street" by having "Evil Dead" playing on the television in Nancy's room, when she is trying not to sleep.

Mistake 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.

Mistake The noise for the pencil being stabbed into Linda's ankle was made by stabbing a pencil into an apple, and tearing the apple apart with it.
