Phoenix

Corrected entry: In the scene where the white coach is outside the bus looking for the black coach after the flares have been dropped, look in the top center of the screen. Off in the distance, on the top of the hill, you can see police cars with flashing lights, obviously where the road has been shut off for shooting the scene.

Correction: There's certainly a flickering light of some sort, but there's no indication that there is a hill of any kind there - it's just too far away to tell. The light isn't broad red-and-blue flashing like police lights but an inconsistent white and maybe green light in a small triangle-shaped pattern. It's impossible to say that this is a police roadblock, maybe a radio antenna.

Phoenix

Correction: Most state troopers have a solid blue light. Those are definitely blue lights.

Corrected entry: When the bus driver reaches out to touch the four pronged spike thing that punctured the tire she barely touches it and cuts her hand, but the man who touches it next pulls on it hard to remove it from the tire and doesn't get cut, and he has his hand around the same part that cut the bus driver.

Correction: They don't grab it in the same place. The driver grasps one of the prongs and gets cut. The next man holds it not by the prongs but the grip in the center, which is not sharp. His palm touches the flat part of the prong and isn't cut while he pulls it out. He continues to hold it very gingerly so the prongs don't cut him while they examine it.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: The Farmer would be at least twice as strong as the cheerleader who stabbed the Creeper through a bus roof into his back. Yet at the end when the Creeper is wounded badly, he has trouble puncturing his skin.

Correction: Taggart has no trouble puncturing the Creeper's skin, he has trouble puncturing its rib cage. Shots on the Creeper's chest show that the spear has gone through its skin but only a few inches into the chest. In an incredible stroke of luck, Rhonda's javelin punched through the Creeper's eye socket (where his skull is weak) and out the back of his head (where the curvature acts like an arch that is easier to puncture from underneath), making it much easier to break whatever skeletal structure he has. The torso skeleton is tougher, that's all.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: On the bus after the first blowout, when Izzy yells "Poho update." The camera moves back towards Scott, you can see the back of the bus (under the emergency door) has been removed, presumably for shooting through.

Shay

Correction: The floor of the bus is intact. The only oddity is that the emergency door has two windows, one above and one below. Both windows have dirt on them and are lined with rubber, so they appear to be normal parts of the bus. I don't see anything else this could refer to.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: After the first tire blows, we see Chelsea using a mobile phone, looking like she's texting someone, but a few scenes later we're told there's no reception where the bus has stopped. How can she text with no reception, and if she isn't texting, why would she be checking her phone reception before anyone else even knows why the bus has stopped?

Shay

Correction: All we see her doing is punching buttons. She could be bored and playing a game, looking through her phonebook, messing with options, etc. Chelsea doesn't do or say anything that indicates she's trying to communicate with someone or checking reception.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: It's obvious that the hole in the roof created by the Creeper's hand would only have fit Bucky's head. Later he fits his whole body in it.

Correction: Either the Creeper only wanted to eat something in Bucky's head and would have been satisfied to tear it off his body or it was depending on using its strength to haul Bucky through and tear the hole wider in the process. Later the Creeper grabs Bucky through a different hole close to the middle of the bus that is much larger, made when it crashed on the roof.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: After the first tire blows Chelsea is using a mobile phone, but right after Izzy yells "Poho update." the camera moves slowly down the bus and her phone has disappeared. She wasn't off-screen long enough to put it away.

Shay

Correction: We see her holding it extended in her right hand and punching buttons, probably playing a game. When the camera comes back to her, her hands are offscreen and the absence of the phone cannot be verified.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: A bus roof that can support the weight of 6 athletes gives way easily to a javelin wielded by a cheerleader? Not very likely.

Shay

Correction: The athletes are spread out over the entire roof. Cheerleaders usually have a good bit of muscle from constant practice, plus this one's powered by adrenaline. The javelin is pointy and focuses the force much more than a large person does.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: When the old couple pass the bus, they are going in the opposite direction to it. When Taggart finds their car later on, he keeps going in the same direction they had been (away from the bus), judging by the tire tracks leading off the road, so how does he ever find the kids?

Shay

Correction: The Creeper attacked the old couple from above (evidenced by tearing off the roof) and the driver pulled the steering wheel all the way to the left trying to toss it off, throwing the car into a U-turn that ended in a tree on the other side of the road (the tracks to the crash are curved, not straight). Thus it faces backward when Taggart finds it and he can find the bus by going that direction.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: When the kids' face gets covered in blood, he tries to wipe it of, smearing it all over his face and hair. Later on his face is entirely clean, with a small bloody spot only. There is no way you get blood of your skin with a dry cloth only, and specially not in that amount of time with better things to do.

RoyT

Correction: He's disgusted and terrified by the fact that he has a dead man's blood covering his face, so it's an extremely high priority from his point of view. A cloth wet with spit or a water bottle (common on a team's bus) would work well enough to remove it.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: The first time the bus has stopped, Betty is on the bus every scene we see trying to raise someone over the radio, so how can she be standing behind the tree smoking with the cheerleaders? The time between the various scenes at the bus isn't long enough for her to get off, have a cigarette and get back on again.

Shay

Correction: Between when all the players get off the bus (the last time Betty is seen on the radio) and when the cheerleaders are discovered smoking, the coach moves from just outside the bus door all the way around to the rear driver's side, so obviously some time has passed. We have no idea how much time. Betty isn't seen again until after the players' conversation, so she had time to get back as well.
