Idle Hands

Visible crew/equipment: Right after Anton's hand kills Mick, Pnub runs for the front door and manages to opens it a bit, but the hand slams it closed. During the brief moment that the door is open, you can see a light stand right outside on the porch.

Visible crew/equipment: When the mom goes downstairs to see what the sound is, she slips on blood and falls on the floor. When she starts to stand back up, you can see her knee pads.

Continuity mistake: When Pnub's head is picked off the kitchen table at the end of the hand-cutting scene, the ring of blood that formed around Pnub's neck stump is joined with the larger pool of blood that it came from. When Pnub and Mick come back to the kitchen later on, the ring is no longer attached to the larger pool. Blood does not evaporate like that when it dries.

Anton: Hey, I didn't kill anyone on purpose, okay?
Mick: Yeah, well, we weren't in hell! I mean, there was this bright white light at the end of a long tunnel, right, and there was these chicks' voices, and that music.
Anton: Music?
Pnub: Yeah, kinda uncool music, like, Enya. And these chicks' voices, they were saying, "come to us, come towards the light."
Anton: So what happened?
Mick: We figured, fuck it, I mean, it was really far.

More quotes from Idle Hands

Trivia: When the hand is killed and Mick complains about how there was "no explosions of hellfire," this is actually an inside joke. The original ending was completely different, and involved a giant portal, explosions, hellfire and tons of effects. However, this ending was dropped because the filmmakers felt it too scary compared to the rest of the movie. A new, more comedic ending was then shot. Mick complaining about the hand's simple death is a reference to the original, more intricate ending.
