Continuity mistake: When the two girls are on the floor, just as the phone rings, Tomoko (the girl in green) has her right hand on Masami's (girl in red) shoulder. Cut to a different angle but now, Tomoko has her hand on Masami's arm instead of her shoulder.
Ringu (1998)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Hideo Nakata
Starring: Miki Nakatani, Hitomi Sato, Nanako Matsushima, Yuko Takeuchi
The video tape contains the vengeful spirit of Sadako. Reiko and Ryuji discover the well where Sadako's skeleton resides and they believe it's all over. At Ryuji's place, Sadako crawls out from the screen of the video tape and kills Ryuji. To save yourself from the curse you have to make a copy of the video and another person has to watch it. Reiko makes a copy to save her son's life.

Yoichi Asakawa: Tomo-chan told me to.
Trivia: Sadako's mother, Shizuko, was loosely based on a real person - Chizuko Mifune. Mifune was a self-proclaimed psychic. Just like Shizuko in the film, in real life Mifune took part in a press event to prove her abilities, but was labeled a fraud by reporters, and later committed suicide.
Question: This may be weirdly specific, but does anyone know what the two background music clips from the Region 1 DVD menu are from? There's two different songs - one is a short, creepy 5-second clip that plays when you hit "Play Movie," and the other is the general background music from the DVD menu, which is a sort-of slow, sad guitar piece. I'm assuming they're just royalty free music from a collection of some sort, but I quite enjoy them.
