Other mistake: When Curt crashes into the force field when he is trying to jump the gap on his dirt bike, his point of impact is ridiculously high up. (00:59:40)
The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Drew Goddard
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Kristen Connolly, Fran Kranz
Continuity mistake: Just before Steve Hadley is killed by the Merman, his tie is wrapped around his neck. When the Merman attacks him, his tie is worn properly. (01:19:40)
Curt: Read the Gurovsky; it's way more interesting and Bennet doesn't know it by heart so he'll think you're insightful. And you have no pants.
Trivia: One of the creatures glimpsed jumping out of the lift is one of the small monsters which attack people in the subway in "Cloverfield". The director of this movie, Drew Goddard, wrote Cloverfield.
Question: Is there a reason, that a facility full of monsters would ever, under any circumstances have a System Purge button? Is it just to make satire of the fact that the antagonist is usually stupid?
