American History X

Corrected entry: How is it that the shooter knew Danny would go to the bathroom at that particular time? He was obviously waiting in the stall for him. Pretty sure he wouldn't stay in a stall just hoping Danny would use the bathroom.

Correction: Of course he can expect it, they are in the same school. A simple observation of someone's bathroom routine over 1 or 2 days gives you a pretty good idea when someone will use the restroom, even though its not 100 percent sure. Like after class for example. He can just wait for him then.

Corrected entry: When the man puts his teeth on the curb, you can tell they put powder on the curb so his teeth weren't really touching it.

Correction: At no time can you see any powder on the curb.

Continuity mistake: When Danny and Derek are taking down the Nazi-posters in Danny's room, the big poster above the computer is a very large Nazi flag that takes up about one fifth of the entire wall. During one of the shots in which all other smaller posters are being taken down, it is not there, and then it reappears and is the last one they take down.

Bob Sweeney: There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed White people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.
Derek Vinyard: Like what?
Bob Sweeney: Has anything you've done made your life better?

Question: We see something going on between the corrupt skinhead and the Hispanic criminal inside the prison, and it makes Vinyard leave that gang. What exactly was the arrangement by the skinheads to 'protect' Vinyard?

Answer: It's quite simple: He was one of them, a fellow skinhead. In prison different groups stick together for mutual protection and comradeship, and as neo-nazis/skinheads would be fairly unpopular with the colored inmates, all the more reason for them to protect each other.
