Continuity mistake: When Evil Shelley scratches Scotty's face, you can see her fingernails are very long. But when Shelley and Scotty are fighting by the fireplace, notice that in some shots her fingernails are much shorter, and in other shots they have totally disappeared. (00:41:30)
Continuity mistake: As Cheryl is wacking Ash on his back with the fireplace poker, she is holding it with the pointed end away from her. When Ash burns the "Book Of the Dead" in the fire, Cheryl is holding the poker to hit him again but loses her grip. The rounded, knobby end would have struck the floor next to Ash's head, not the pointed end as shown in the shot, as it would have been pointed towards the ceiling.
Continuity mistake: Before everyone listens to the tape, you can see that Ash is sitting to the left of Linda, but in the next shot, Ash is by Linda's right. (00:15:40)
Continuity mistake: The necklace around Linda's neck disappears from the time when she wakes up as Evil Linda to when Ash chains her down in the shed. (00:51:45 - 01:01:05)
Continuity mistake: When the blond guy goes into the cabin in the beginning, it goes from day when he's walking in, to completely dark once he's opened the door and gone in. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: In the tree rape scene, Ellen Sandweiss' breast is visible at one point, but then in subsequent shots it is covered again.
Continuity mistake: When Ash is beating his dead ex-girlfriend with the plank, you can see the plank start to split in half; in the next shot, it's back to its original form. (01:05:25)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when evil-Cheryl is disintegrating, the hole that was shot in her face moves from one cheek to the other as the shots flash back and forth between her and Ash. (01:19:10)
Continuity mistake: When Ash first finds the book of the dead, he opens it, and in a closeup we see he's on a page with many skulls drawn on it. It cuts and the page he is on is different, with one big skull on it. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: Just after Ash has defeated the demons by throwing the book into the fire, he realises that it is dawn, if you look outside the window it is really bright outside yet when he actually steps out of the cabin, the sky is orange as the sun is just rising. (01:22:00)
Continuity mistake: When Scotty stabs Shelley in the back with the sword, she falls and lands on her back, which should have impaled her, but when she's on the ground the sword is nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: When Scotty swerves from the truck in the beginning, Ash is standing up behind him, with his head halfway out of the car, yelling at him to turn the wheel. In the next shot both window are up again. It is just seconds before Scotty honks at the fishermen.
Continuity mistake: When Shelly is possessed, she and Scotty fight and she amputates her own right hand before she goes down. Moments later, she comes back to life and Scotty starts dismembering her with an axe, starting with her left hand. We plainly see the axe come down full-force on her left wrist. However, in two subsequent shots, we see her intact left arm and hand in the foreground, reaching for Scotty as he continues chopping.
Continuity mistake: When the girls are guessing the cards, the card before Cheryl begins talking is an 8 of diamonds, but in the next shot the card is a queen of spades, with no time to change.
Continuity mistake: When he is in front of the movie projector, the blood starts dripping, it flashes from back and forth, looking at the projector and the projection over Ash. The blood is dripping in spots all over the lens, but when you look on the wall, its dripping from the top. (01:10:15)
Continuity mistake: When Scotty stabs Shelley in the back with the ancient sword, the wide shot shows him with his arm around her holding the sword. In the next shot, his arm is no longer around Shelley.
Continuity mistake: At the end, Ash shuts the door behind him and we hear it click into the frame. A few shots later, the door is standing open a foot or two. (01:22:50)
Continuity mistake: Scotty's shirt changes a bunch of times. His normal shirt is blue-and-white plaid, but when he's in the cellar with Ash, close-ups of him dismembering Evil Shelly, and outside after he and Ash have buried the bits of Evil Shelly, it's a plaid that's mostly red with a little yellow and blue. At the end, when Evil Scotty is in claymation, his plaid is mostly yellow with small red and blue stripes. (00:47:25 - 01:19:25)
