Joy Ride: Dead Ahead

Continuity mistake: When Nick and Bobby are playing craps in Rusty Nail's barn, Nick rolls "chest," resulting in Rusty branding Bobby with his R key chain. Rusty puts the red hot key chain in Bobby's shirt pocket and holds it against his chest. When Rusty lets go, you can see a hole has been burned into Bobby's shirt. The very next shot, Bobby is rolling the dice and his shirt is intact. Later on at the very end of the film, Bobby's shirt has the hole in the pocket again. (01:13:50 - 01:15:00)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bobby and Nick are rolling the dice for Rusty Nail's craps game Nick refuses to roll and Rusty pulls out Nick's right lip ring. In the next shot, when Nick is rolling the dice, the left ring is also missing. In a later shot the left ring reappears. (01:11:50 - 01:13:00)

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie Melissa jumps from the burning truck leaving Rusty inside. As the truck bounces down the slope it catches on fire and explodes. You can see the engine compartment of the truck is empty, no radiator or engine, just an empty volume illuminated by the flames. (01:24:00)
