Continuity mistake: Magnum goes upstairs with Amanda's mom and dad and finds her on the bed browsing the family album. Pay special attention in close-up; the leftmost is a brightly lit portrait-style picture. Makes rather noticeable that Amanda is turning the same page over and over in the different separate shots.
