Other mistake: Marcia Sindell calls Buster to check on Paul's whereabouts. She doesn't tell him what firm she works for, what city she's calling from, or her phone number. Yet, Buster says when he gets some information on Paul, he'll call her back and they both hang up.

Other mistake: During the big fight at the end, when Paul slams the typewriter over Annie's head it hits the floor upside down, but in the next shot it has magically been flipped over, ready to beam Annie in the face.

Other mistake: When Annie shoots the sheriff in the back, he fall forwards on the staircase where he stood. Annie walks down without moving around the corpse of the sheriff. She just advances forward as if he isn't there.

Other mistake: When James Kahn is reading the scrapbook and finds a newspaper article, Anne M. Wilkes is printed in the newspaper title, but a photo to the right of the article shows "Anne C. Wilkes" as the name below the photo.

Other mistake: When Annie forces Paul to burn his new book, she puts charcoal lighter fluid on the draft of his new book. She then adds more to some pages inside the book. The words on the inside page are not a fictional story but a review of the movie Say Anything by Cameron Crowe.

Revealing mistake: When Paul goes through Annie's scrapbook, a fast reader may notice that several newspaper clippings (although having different headlines and being based on separate events), have the exact same story underneath. The text has simply been repeated, rather than a new report being created for each story.
