Then 15 seconds later Bud says out loud, writing on a piece of paper the description "5 feet 10 inches, weight 165, blue eyes, sandy hair".

Continuity mistake: When Bud and Lou arrive at Tommy's house for the first time, and the moth makes a spooky shadow on the flashlight, the size, shape, motion, and wing motion of the shadow on the wall are different from those of the actual moth on the flashlight.
