Firestarter (1984)
1 factual error
Directed by: Mark L. Lester
Starring: Drew Barrymore, George C. Scott, David Keith, Heather Locklear, Freddie Jones
Revealing mistake: When one car explodes, you can blatantly see the two men standing beside the car are in fact nothing but lifeless dummies. (00:39:45)
Irv Manders: I got some tall apologizing to do. There's a line of cars coming up the road. I'll stand with you, if you want. I'll get my deer gun.
Question: At the beginning of the film we see Andy make the agents who killed his wife go blind with his mind. Why then didn't he do the same to John Rainbird at the end when they were in the barn?
