Joy Ride (2001)

Corrected entry: When Lewis And Fuller pull up at the motel both of the headlights are working, but when the man reverses his car, in the long shot, the left front headlight is out. (00:15:15 - 00:16:35)

The-Immortal

Correction: Not so. The grille and lights of the Newport are recessed into the front of the car. The shot mentioned shows the car from far to the car's left so that the left light isn't visible (blocked by the car's fender/bumper). However, the glow of this headlight is quite obviously showing that it is working. No mistake.

Joy Ride (2001)

Corrected entry: When Fuller decides to get rid of the CB radio, he chucks it out the window, you can see a road guard, that was not there in previous shots. (00:46:10)

The-Immortal

Correction: The guard rail is lower than the height of the car door, so it can't be seen from inside the car at the angle used, and our view is from inside the car for at least 20 seconds before the exterior shot - plenty of time for the rail to start.

Joy Ride (2001)

Corrected entry: Close to the end when Fuller is hotwiring the Ford, the guy who offers to help, comes up to the truck, and Lewis is talking to him, in a far away shot, you see Lewis look at Fuller when the truck starts, then it cuts to a shot inside the truck and Lewis looks at Fuller again. (01:14:15)

The-Immortal

Correction: Lewis repeatedly turns from Fuller to the bystander over and over, and there is a close-up shot of Fuller twisting the wires together that is long enough for Lewis' head to turn back to the bystander in time for us to see him to turn to Fuller again. No mistake.

Joy Ride (2001)

Corrected entry: Just after the ice truck gets smashed through by Rusty Nail, you can see Lewis and Fuller zoom away in their car. Rusty Nail's truck passes under the wooden frame with ease, but in the following shot when Fuller looks behind, you can see the truck destroy the wooden frame. (00:41:15)

The-Immortal

Correction: Not so. The earlier shot shows that the tractor passes under the frame, and the frame becomes obscured somewhat by the exhaust smoke, but just before the shot ends, the frame is hit by the forward edge of the trailer. Then the shot changes twice and we then see the frame coming apart due to this hit. No error.
