Deliberate mistake: The mirror that made Rocky's face look normal should've made his mom's face look different, but her face stayed the same.

Mask (1985)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Peter Bogdanovich
Starring: Laura Dern, Sam Elliott, Eric Stoltz, Cher, Estelle Getty
One morning Rocky's mom goes into Rocky's bedroom to find that he has died in his sleep due to the facial disfiguring disease that he has.
Rusty Dennis: First you told me he was gonna be retarded, then you told me he was gonna be blind and deaf. If I'd dug his grave every time one of you geniuses told me he was gonna die, I'd be eating fuckin' chop suey in China by now.
Trivia: Director Peter Bogdanovich's first choice for the part of Rocky Dennis was Anthony Michael Hall. Hall turned down the part because he didn't like the idea of hiding his face during the whole film with make-up. Eric Stoltz was then cast instead.
Suggested correction: I don't know if you are right or wrong, but I thought Eric was given the role because he sang "Rock-y" during his audition. [I'm not really asserting that you are wrong; I had to pick that option in order to be able to reply here.].
Question: When Rocky kisses Dianne, why is it a New Years dance if they are at summer camp?
Answer: It appears to be a party at camp. Lots of camps have special themed parties especially before the camp is over.
