Red State

Continuity mistake: Three teen boys are abducted to be killed at the church. One breaks free and finds a weapons cache and dies in that room, while his killer dies outside that room. Soon after, the preacher and his wife find the dead church member, then look into the weapons room to see two of the teen boys dead, side by side. But the second hasn't been killed yet, and dies running away from the church later, shot by the the local sheriff by mistake. (00:40:40 - 00:48:00)

Suggested correction: The second boy, the one who got shot outside, was playing dead so the church members would leave him. It is not a mistake in the movie.

Pastor Abin Cooper: You're already dead sinner. You destroyed your spirit in a waste of shame.

Trivia: The original draft of the script ended with the actual biblical apocalypse happening. All of church members and police officers heads would begin exploding, save for John Goodman, who would take cover and then see the church leader played by Michael Parks being run through the heart with a sword by an enormous angel. The angel would then turn to Goodman, put it's finger to its lips and whisper "Shhhh..." before the four horsemen of the apocalypse would begin to descend from the sky as the film cut to black. Smith has said that the ending was dropped due to budgetary restrictions and because he wasn't confident he would be able to deliver on such an ambitious sequence.
