Corrected entry: Amy says she was abducted by Desi Collins and subjected to severe abuse, but when she returns she has a chic new haircut, which no one comments on.

Correction: She claims she was basically be kept as a sex-slave. She probably just told the police he was "grooming" her and doing what he pleased, which might include him changing her appearance to his liking.

Corrected entry: During the hospital interview with the detectives and police, Amy explains that she was kidnapped at the front door by Desi Collings. Neither lead detective Rhonda Boney nor any other cop enquires how massive amounts of her blood ended up on the kitchen floor, or how the living room was trashed.

Correction: Boney tries to ask Amy these questions, however she is shut down by superiors who obviously just want the case closed.

Corrected entry: The telephone number for the police kidnap tip line has 12 digits: 1-855-4-Amy-tips. US phone numbers have 11 digits.

Correction: A lot of phone numbers that are "words" might contain extra letters like 1-800-fly-delta as an example. All that happens is by the time you hit the last letter your call is already being placed.

Corrected entry: When Nick comes home and find Amy gone he carries the cat in from outside. When the police arrive he takes them up to the master bedroom and when he opens up the previously closed doors the same cat is lying in the bed. How did it get in there?

Correction: There's a time jump from when he brings the cat inside, wondering where Amy is - to when he has already called the police, they've arrived, and he's waiting in a different room, I know I've put my cat inside a bedroom when I know workmen or police are coming over.

Factual error: SPOILER: Amy Dunne returns covered with blood. After being at the hospital, and in the interview/questioning, she is still covered with blood. After being medically examined, she would have been washed clean, not just dressed over all the mess. But it gets worse; when returning to Nick in their house, she has a crisp hospital garment, but is still covered in blood! And it gets even worse; when they are in the shower, the blood on her body, which by now would have been at least a day old, would have been dried, caked and brownish color, but what she washes off is very fresh.

Trivia: Pay close attention to the board games Nick gives to his sister (including "Mastermind" and "The Game of Life") - they are all subtly relevant to the plot of the film.

Question: Why does Amy whack herself in the face with a hammer? Her plan is working at this point. She's achieved anonymity and escaped her life. What possible good could cover from hitting herself in the face with a hammer? (01:13:04)

Answer: To my knowledge, the purpose of hitting herself was two-fold. First of all, a facial injury would support the idea that she was abused or in some sort of bad situation. And secondly, to help mildly alter her appearance, so she could blend in more. (Especially considering people were looking for her).
