Other mistake: Tough beat cop Farley Wood in his spare time built a special electronic machine to feed his cat. He needs to take off for Miami at 3 PM. When his cat is eating before his departure though, the clock on the machine says it's "12 AM", which would be midnight, not noon.

Other mistake: The hole that the guy got his arm torn off in was too small to fit into, despite the monster being on the other side. A few moments later, he's pulled in. If the opening was too small, the body would be crushed and blood would spray everywhere, but you see none.
