Deliberate mistake: At the end of the movie, where the girls chase stuntman Mike, they drive the upper dusty road. When their car is shown front outside angle, there's a lot of dust rising from the camera crew's car. But when the camera angle gets into their car and shoots strait ahead - the dust is all gone, the air is perfectly clear.
Death Proof (2007)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Zoe Bell
Continuity mistake: The shape and width of the scar on Stuntman Mike's face slightly varies between the scenes (from thin in the shot where he is pouring some eye drops into his eyes, to almost invisible during the scene at the parking lot in front of the shop in Lebanon, Tennessee, and wide during the final rush).

Suggested correction: This is untrue. The movie is out of sequence, like the reels were put together wrong in an old Grindhouse Theater. The car also changes when his scar is different if you pay attention. This whole movie also takes place in the wrong order of the double feature according to the storyline. This was NOT a mistake but done on purpose and slides to this in the making of book.
Shanna: Oh, "come on," my ass.
Trivia: Zoë Bell, who played herself, had worked as Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill.
Question: In the car racing scene between Stuntman Mike, Kim, Zoe, and Abby, I am confused as to why the car chase lasted so long. Couldn't Kim have simply slowed down gradually and shot Stuntman Mike? I mean, we hear her in an earlier scene talking about her gun and we see her shoot him after stopping. Why keep driving fast with your friend in danger and mess up the car that isn't yours?
Chosen answer: Because there wouldn't be a car chase if she stopped. It's all part of the fun.
