Near Dark

Revealing mistake: When Caleb is running for the van (during the motel shootout) there is a dramatic moment when he is shot in the back and is in pain. As he goes to wrap the blanket around himself you can see an orange tube leading underneath his clothing above his pants. Presumably this tube is pumping the smoke to simulate burning. (00:59:44)

Revealing mistake: When Caleb shows Mae his horse and it rears you can see the man holding the horse's rope is not Caleb. The man has an older, redder face and greyed sideburns. (00:08:21)

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: As Jesse, Diamondback and Homer try to black out the windows on their car (to protect themselves from the sunlight) Homer spray paints the window next to him black. The camera angle switches to a wide shot as the car drives by. At this time, the back window (which was just blacked out) has not been spray painted yet. It is totally clean again.

Trivia

Trivia: When Caleb attempts to leave the gang for the first time, just as he gets to the bus station you can see a cinema behind him that is playing Aliens (1986). Near Dark was released a year after Aliens and it shares most of the same cast. The director of Near Dark, Kathryn Bigelow, was also married to Aliens director James Cameron at the time. (00:22:28)
