Corrected entry: When John Cusak runs over the boy's mother, who is standing by her own car, he makes an emergency stop and gets out of the car to help. Given that he was driving at 50+ mph, in heavy rain, the car should take quite some distance to stop. However, when he leaves the car, the camera angle change reveals that his car has stopped a mere couple of metres beyond her car, whilst her body has failed to travel any distance at all.
Corrected entry: In the scene showing the cuckoo clock, the time shown is 3 o'clock. In the next scene, the digital clock next to the bed reads 12:20.
Correction: The hotel is having electrical problems, so the electrical clock could have been reseted to 12:00.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Paris enters the cop car and discovers that Rhodes really isn't a cop, the camera pans to show wires indicating that the car was forced to start. The car was already running and being driven by the cop that was killed, presumably the keys were in the ignition. Why would they need to break in?
Corrected entry: In the scene where the car blows up everybody rushes to the car AS SOON as they hear the explosion, and if you look at the front seats they have already burned down to the metal. The funny thing about that is when they didn't find any bodies the manager suggested maybe they were cremated and that was over ruled because it was said the bodies woudn't have burned that quickly. Well those seats sure did.
Correction: Organic material (i.e. bodies) takes much longer to ignite and actually burn becuase you must first evaporate any water contained within the material. Anyone with a cigarette hole in their car seat can tell you it takes roughly 5 seconds to burn through that material.
Corrected entry: Every character in the movie was one of Malcolm's personalities and when they died, there was a key found next to each body. Where was the key for the cop that Rhodes and Maine killed?
Correction: Not EVERY character in the movie was one of Malcolm's personalities, if so, they would have to account for the ex-manager of the Hotel (found in the freezer) and the cop who transported the convicts (Liotta and Busey). The ten personalities of Malcolm were the ones who came to the Hotel within a short time of each other under unusual circumstances. Their birthdays were the same, their names were actually of places, etc. But ONLY those ten were the personalities, no one else.
Corrected entry: When Amanda Peet goes into Ray Liotta's supposed cop car, she recognizes something is wrong because the car had been hot wired. Why would the car have to be hot wired, if when Ray Liotta and Jake Busey killed the real cop in the car, the keys would have remained in the car?
Correction: What you see when Amanda Peet goes to the police car is not the ignition ripped apart, it is the microphone cord to the radio cord cut (so no one could call for help.)
Corrected entry: In the scene where John Cusack is photographing the corpse (on the region 2 DVD theatrical cut), the disposable camera doesn't flash for one of the shots (Strangely, he doesn't seem to notice this). However, it does flash the next time he takes a picture, even though he never touches the flash charge button on the disposable camera. (00:46:45)
Correction: So it didn't flash...this happens all the time with disposable cameras. As to whether he noticed or not, he may not have even cared as he took multiple pictures.
Corrected entry: Right after the convict Jake Busey and the supposed detective Ray Liotta kill the real cop, his dead body is shown in the trunk with his legs sticking out, but when both convicts are about to leave, Ray Liotta slams the trunk door shut without ever moving the cop's legs. (01:16:05)
Correction: There is a slight pause before Liotta closes the trunk, during which we can assume he's shoving the leg to fit into the trunk. Just because he's not looking down, doesn't mean he's not doing anything.
Corrected entry: Jake Busey and Ray Liotta are both escaped prisoners; Ray Liotta is only impersonating the cop. Why, then, does Jake Busey try to escape from the bathroom? All they have to do is wait until the morning and leave. (They don't know that everyone is being killed off.)
Correction: I would guess he didn't appreciate being chained to a toilet.
Correction: He was braking a little before hitting her and hit the brakes hard. The body failed to travel beacause it was not pushed, it flew over the car roof.
