Revealing mistake: When the hiker's body is taken out of the cottage, it is so obviously a dummy - you can see the join in the neck.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)
Directed by: Taika Waititi
Starring: Sam Neill, Rachel House, Rima Te Wiata, Julian Dennison
Continuity mistake: When Ricky is found after running away, he sits up and unzips his hood and pulls it down. The position of the hood changes multiple times from shot to shot even though he doesn't move and his hands are down to his sides. He also transitions from sitting to leaning on his side from one camera shot to the next. (00:09:10 - 00:09:40)
Continuity mistake: When Bells is plucking the hair out of the animal, she shows Ricky how to do it. She then puts another animal on the table and tells Ricky to give it a go. The animal is belly down, chin resting on the table. The camera changes shots after Ricky's reaction, and the animal is now on its back. (00:13:10)
Trivia: Director Taika Waititi has a cameo as the local church minister who delivers the sermon at the funeral.
Officer Andy: We're offering ten thousand dollars to anyone who can capture them, dead or alive.
Officer Andy: Oh. Alive. They should be alive.
Ricky Baker: It was a relaxing song... and a relaxing sausage.
