The top mistakes in The Hitcher http://www.moviemistakes.com/film617 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:55:29 +0000 102322 When Jim hits the brakes in his stolen patrol car, the two pursuing police cars turn and flip over and over. As they roll, the 'roll cannon' is visible on the underside of one of the cars (a round steel tube in a hole in the floor) and at left, the two cannon slugs from both cars bounce down the road. This device fires the slug downward, and the force behind it lifts the car when the slug hits the road, launching the car over. 146049 The Hitcher reverses his pick-up truck out of the gas station after he drops the lighted match. His wheels, wheel arches and perhaps the underside of the truck would have been soaked in petrol as he drove over the pumps, as would all around them, as they were gushing. He was burning rubber do this manoeuvre. This would have ignited the petrol on his truck. 116545 Towards the end of the film, the bus that Jim sneaks on to changes from two rear axles to one. 94592 When Jim pushes John out the car, in the shot where John is lying on the road, his head is on the road's white stripe, yet when it cuts to a closer view, his chest is on the white line, not his head. 3889 In one scene C. Thomas Howell almost runs head-on with an 18 wheeler, but just misses it. However, the truck clips the car he is driving and clearly takes the bumper clean off. The next driving scene shows the bumper back on the car.
