Audio problem: When the kids are playing hide and go seek and Henry scares Connie, her scream is dubbed in too early. It happens before the shot changes so when you first hear her scream, her mouth isn't moving.

The Good Son (1993)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Joseph Ruben
Starring: David Morse, Elijah Wood, Macaulay Culkin, Wendy Crewson
Revealing mistake: When Henry throws the dummy off the bridge, watch the rear window of the gray car; it explodes before being hit.
Trivia: For the treehouse sequence, young Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood made the 30-foot climb up the tree themselves, with no safety nets or wires. However, the tree was mostly surrounded (everything outside of the camera frame) with elaborate scaffolding, sufficient to support all the camera crew and equipment, so the boys were always within arm's reach of an adult.

Answer: Henry caused his younger brother's death by drowning, just like he was planning to kill his sister, Connie.
