Audio problem: During the scene where Lauren is talking to Wade on the phone and the car smashes through the window, she says she's hears the engine of the car, and that it "sounds so weird". Watch closely, though, and you'll see that the words aren't quite synchronized with the way her mouth moves. (I saw this on the VHS tape and the DVD).

Continuity mistake: When the teacher stands and challenges 'The Car' in the cemetery, the gates cast their shadows to our left. When the car reacts, beginning to do 'doughnuts' in the dirt, the shadows fall to our right. (00:47:30)
Donna: Wade... there's something I... I wanna tell you about last night. Well, the old lady... well, Chas, he didn't translate everything that she said.
Wade Parent: What do you mean?
Donna: Well, uh... she said... there was no driver in the car.
