Continuity mistake: When Chris and Jessie are hiding behind the waterfall at night, Chris has his trouser leg rolled up (you can see the blood on his knee) and Jessie ties a white bandage round Chris's left knee, but when they wake up in the morning the bandage is gone. There is no sign of the bandage under his trousers. There is also no sign of blood from the bullet wound, even though earlier when Jessie was wrapping his knee with the bandage you could see that his knee was covered in blood, yet none of the blood soaked through his trousers. You can also see that there is no longer an entry wound or any blood on the back of his trouser leg. Later, when the cop gets an arrow in the eye, Chris climbs into the police car and the blood stain has reappeared on the back of his left knee.

Question: What is the significance of that guy at the gas station, as he closes the door on the cannibals' truck, is he one of the inbred family or what?

Answer: The chosen answer is incorrect. In part 2, the old man turns out to be one of them. He tells Dale, you killed my boy! The 3 cannibals are his sons.

Answer: Both answers are correct. In the first movie, it isn't clear what the old man's relationship to them is, but is implied they leave him alone in exchange for leading people to them. In the second movie, its established that he is their father. However, if you're going by the first movie alone, he does appear to be afraid of them, which is why he shuts the garage door when he sees their truck approaching.

Answer: He is frightened of them, which is why he hides when they go by. He allows unwary travelers to encounter the crazies as a means of protecting himself. So, they leave him alone in return. But, apparently, it doesn't do much to dissuade his fear.

Phixius

Answer: This is hard to understand. In the first movie he is scared of them. In the second movie and its sequels and prequels he is helping them and caring for them.
