Suggested correction: This appears to be a not uncommon film making technique where a sequence is shown from multiple angles, and if that is the case here, then it isn't a mistake.
But as we have no way to tell if it is an intentional technique it's considered a mistake.
Kelly Roark: Please, please. You can't just leave me here.
Roark: Kelly, you can not be here and I have to.
Kelly Roark: Why?
Roark: Because it's my responsibility.
Kelly Roark: Well, so am I. Please I promise I won't get in the way.
Trivia: The lava was primarily made of methylcellulose, the thickening agent used in fast-food milkshakes, and the ash was made mostly of ground newspaper.
Question: Near the end, how the heck did Tommy (the child) pass through the kitchen without being noticed by the cooks?
Chosen answer: They were in a rush, trying to get things and get out.
