Kill Me Later picture

Continuity mistake: When Shaun and Charlie are running from the police, they hide behind a dumpster until a cop car goes by and then Charlie leads Shaun to a meat truck. He opens the back and lifts up the door just far enough so that Shaun can get in. In the next shot, when Charlie is getting in, the door is much higher up, about four feet higher actually, than it was a mere second ago, and there was no sound indicating that Charlie pushed it up further.

Suggested correction: When he hangs up the phone, it remains hung up on the wall receiver for the rest of the scene. The phone can be seen several times before the scene ends. The way you can tell is this: when the phone is off the receiver, there is a stripe of grey duct tape holding the receiver to the beam. The phone does not have any duct tape on it, so when it is hung up on the receiver, the duct tape is no longer fully visible, because the handset is covering it.
