1 factual error
Directed by: David Cronenberg

Revealing mistake: The stunt dummy that falls from the balcony in John's stead is pretty obvious. Its blank face is even visible briefly as it falls, and again when it lands. (01:37:40)
Johnny Smith: "Bless me"? Do you know what God did for me? He threw an 18-wheeled truck at me and bounced me into nowhere for five years! When I woke up, my girl was gone, my job was gone, my legs are just about useless... Blessed me? God's been a real sport to me.
Trivia: During Johnny's visions, his involuntary jerks were achieved by David Cronenberg firing a .357 Magnum revolver loaded with blanks from behind the camera.
