Zombieland

Other mistake: When Columbus is face-to-face with the clown zombie, he looks up at Wichita, who is on the ride, stuck at the top of the tower. Columbus looks almost straight up at her, but when Wichita looks to Columbus for help, she should look almost straight down, but instead she looks straight ahead. There is no other reason why she would have looked straight ahead because a) Columbus was directly below her, b) Little Rock and Tallahassee were to her right, and c) she almost perpetually had her eyes on the zombie climbing the tower towards her.

Other mistake: Most of the time when driving, the windows are down (possibly so no camera reflections are seen) but their hair mostly doesn't move and there is no wind noise in the truck like there would normally be.

stuck in eternity

Other mistake: After Columbus wakes up and realises the girl he let stay the night has turned into a zombie, he repeatedly hits her over the head with the commode top, but in the next shot, it is clean as a whistle - there is no blood or head matter on it at all. Also the bottom of the lid is real with grooves and crevices but after the second hit in the living room the bottom ridges are perfectly oval and smooth.

Suggested correction: He hit her in the place where there is hair on the head, he left no wound there, why in the world should be marks on the lid? It would be a mistake if there were marks after the impact shown.

Other mistake: When Columbus and Tallahassee open the back of the Hostess truck, a bunch of Snowballs fall out. During the shots from the inside the truck, on the right side, you can see some packages of Twinkies. It might not be easy to make out of the shape, but you can see the label on the package. I guess they should've done a more thorough search of the truck. (You might need widescreen to see this).

Continuity mistake: In the Pacific Playland scene, Wichita and Little Rock are seen riding a Swinging Ship when all of a sudden, zombies begin to pile over the park's fence. In the next scene, the two girls are shown running down a stretch of walkway shooting at the zombies that are chasing them. When the camera is focused on the zombies pursuing the girls, in the background (top left corner) you can see the Ship ride sitting still. After the camera gets a shot of the girls, it goes back to the shot of the zombies and the Ship is now moving in full swing. The next time the zombies are shown, the Ship is sitting still again. There was no time between shots for the ride to have started and stopped so quickly.

Tallahassee: It's ok. But FYI, I beat wholesale ass for a lot less than that.

Question: If the character's nicknames (Columbus, Tallahassee, etc) come from their destinations, how come Witchita & Little Rock have different names, when they're sisters and are coming from - and heading to - the same place?

Answer: The names come from their hometowns, not their destinations. Witchita is much older than Little Rock; she could have spent the majority of her childhood in Witchita before her family moved to Little Rock where her sister was born. She still considers Witchita to be her "hometown".
