Continuity mistake: When Columbus brushes Wichita's hair behind her ear and kisses her, he leaves his hand behind her ear. Her hair changes position between shots; in some it is all behind her ear, in some it is over Columbus' hand, and in others it is half and half.
Zombieland (2009)
Directed by: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Bill Murray, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin
Plot hole: With people around the world turned into zombies, there is no way to maintain power plants, thus no lights should be lit, not to mention the functionality of an amusement park.

Suggested correction: The sequel film gives this a (very flimsy) justification, saying that everything runs on power from dams. Stupid, but at least trying to explain things.
Continuity mistake: In the Pacific Playland scene, Wichita and Little Rock are seen riding a Swinging Ship when all of a sudden, zombies begin to pile over the park's fence. In the next scene, the two girls are shown running down a stretch of walkway shooting at the zombies that are chasing them. When the camera is focused on the zombies pursuing the girls, in the background (top left corner) you can see the Ship ride sitting still. After the camera gets a shot of the girls, it goes back to the shot of the zombies and the Ship is now moving in full swing. The next time the zombies are shown, the Ship is sitting still again. There was no time between shots for the ride to have started and stopped so quickly.
Trivia: The guy at the gas station is also the guy that gets eaten by a zombie whilst on the toliet at the start of the film.
Trivia: During the flashback scene with Tallahassee and the dog, that dog is Abigail Breslin's dog in real life.
Trivia: During the scene in the Hummer, the discussion about Hannah Montana between Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin was ad-libbed by the two performers.
[Columbus sprays Tallahassee with perfume.]
Tallahassee: It's ok. But FYI, I beat wholesale ass for a lot less than that.
Columbus: You see? You just can't trust anyone. The first girl I let into my life and she tries to eat me.
Columbus: The first rule of Zombieland: Cardio. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons... Were the fatties.
Question: If the character's nicknames (Columbus, Tallahassee, etc) come from their destinations, how come Witchita & Little Rock have different names, when they're sisters and are coming from - and heading to - the same place?
Answer: The names come from their hometowns, not their destinations. Witchita is much older than Little Rock; she could have spent the majority of her childhood in Witchita before her family moved to Little Rock where her sister was born. She still considers Witchita to be her "hometown".
