Factual error: In the police station, when Dave receives a call from Jim, the phone sits atop a phone book marked "Seaford/Laurel" on the spine. The towns of Seaford and Laurel are next to each other in Maryland, while the movie takes place in Chester County, Pennsylvania, notably around Downingtown and Phoenixville. Laurel is over 100 miles from Chester County. There is no reason for a Chester County police station to have a phone book from towns 100 miles away. (04:03:33)

Other mistake: The movie supposedly takes place in the Downingtown, Pennsylvania area (although the theater is in nearby Phoenixville). On the (supposedly) Downingtown police station desk, under the phone, is a phone book for the Seaford/Laurel area which is in southern Delaware, almost 120 miles away. (00:43:53)
