The Road

Plot hole: Despite supposedly being deprived of food, neither of the main characters (nor most of the minor characters) seem to display any signs of malnutrition. They both have all of their visible teeth, their stomachs are not distended and they seem to have a large amount of energy to travel by foot over lengthy distances.

Factual error: Despite being on the Atlantic shore, the scene in the devastated amusement park opens with a shop of a sign saying it is Conneaut Lake Park. (You can also see the landscape on the other side of the lake in the background.) The scene was filmed not long after a fire destroyed several historic buildings at the actual Conneaut Lake park in PA. Since they used CGI to alter the actual park sign (which is at the entrance to the park and not on its boardwalk, I have to wonder why they didn't create a sign for a boardwalk park. (01:27:35)

Continuity mistake: At the house of the cannibals, when they spot them approaching the house through the window, the woman is wearing dark coloured pants and a whiteish coat. Shortly after, when she enters the house, she is wearing a red skirt, dark coat and a completely different hat. (00:37:15 - 00:37:44)

The Man: I told the boy when you dream about bad things happening, it means you're still fighting and you're still alive. It's when you start to dream about good things that you should start to worry.

The Man: Do you wish you would die?
Old Man: No. Its foolish to ask for luxuries in times like these.

The Boy: Are we gonna die?
The Man: We are not gonna quit. We are gonna survive this.
