Corrected entry: In the scene where Michael wakes up in bed after falling from the rail bridge, watch Sam's leg movements and listen to the way he says 'Mike' as he enters the room. The slow-motion effect has been left on for a fraction too long, and it looks a little odd.

Corrected entry: During the grand finale when the vampires are in Sam's house, he shoots Dwayne with a bow and arrow and Dwayne falls to the floor pretending to be dead. His left arm is down his side. The shot changes to Sam who is looking at him and then returns to Dwayne whose left arm is now up next to his head so that he can push himself off the floor. (01:22:15)
Correction: Just like you said, he is "pretending" to be dead, hence is alive and able to move. In fact, that is part of his plan to jump up and attack Sam when he comes closer. The shot cuts away long enough for him to have moved his arm.

Correction: 1) A split second odd movement by a character is not a mistake, unless they completely change positions on-screen. 2) You can't just "leave on" the slow-motion effect during filming like you would a DVD player, it's done during the final editing of the film. As such, you wouldn't have the slo-mo from a previous scene "still left on" for the next scene.
