An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Continuity: In the scene where David (as a werewolf) exits the theatre, causing general havoc and mayhem, a car crashes into the one in front of it, sending the "driver" through the windshield. If you watch closely (or use slo-mo), you'll see that the driver goes through the windshield just before hitting the car in front of him (or her).

Factual error: Though it's set in England, hospital personnel use American terms like "charts" and "orderly". In any British hospital these should be "case notes" and "porter", respectively .

Visible crew/equipment: The couple in the street are the first to be attacked by the werewolf in London. As they walk in the street past the houses, you can see a large Studio Light reflecting in the windows.

The final look of the werewolf beast was based on make-up creator Rick Baker's dog Bosko.

In nearly every John Landis film, you can see or hear the phrase "See you next Wednesday." In this film, it's an adult film.

This is the first film to earn the Academy Award for Best Makeup. That category was created in 1981.
