Character mistake: The Master of Psychology Degree from Tulane University has a spelling mistake. School of Political Sciences is spelt 'Scineces'. (00:54:05)

Continuity mistake: Late in the film, after The Beast emerges, he partially devours two of the young girls like a ravenous animal; yet, when he catches up to the third girl, Casey, a few moments later, The Beast has no blood on his face, body or hands. Furthermore, when The Beast corners Casey in the cage, he presses his face between the bars, and we see no blood on his face. The camera cuts to Casey then back to The Beast, and now streams of blood are running from his mouth and down his chin. The camera cuts to Casey and back to The Beast once more, and now we see no blood on his face.

Suggested correction: This is not a mistake. Since the man has split personalities, the change of clothes is meant to signify his personality changing. The clothes are obviously changed very quick, but it is supposed to add a supernatural effect to the film.

Factual error: The girls are looking through a rather wide gap between the door and the door-sill. If a gap were that wide the door lock would not be very secure, and just a little force would open it. (00:19:25)

The Beast: You are different from the rest. Your heart is pure! Rejoice! The broken are the more evolved. Rejoice.

Trivia: SPOILER WARNING. The character of Kevin was originally intended to be in the film "Unbreakable" (to which this film is revealed to be a sort-of sequel in the final twist scene), but he was removed for thematic reasons, as it was felt that his presence took away focus from that film's true villain "Mr. Glass." Writer/Director M. Night Shyamalan has stated his intentions to make a third film in the "trilogy" that will feature Bruce Willis' character David Dunn from "Unbreakable" being forced to confront Kevin, who will be his ultimate "supervillain."

Question: What happened to him as a little boy when he was hunting with his Father and Uncle? Was he sexually molested?

Answer: If you are referring to the girl Casey, then yes, the movie is implying that her uncle had been molesting her.

Duh! My mistake! It looked like a little boy and I guess I wasn't listening very well. However, the little kid's mother who was abusive about cleaning belonged to the guy with multiple personalities, yes?

Correct, and they expand more on that in the next film, "Glass."
