NancyFelix

Correction: It's not bloody, it's just very red. Just jumped and nearly caught on the planks with his hands. That impact is enough to turn his hands red.

Knever

Corrected entry: When Charlie and Irene start their train ride the locomotive is not the same as when they reach their last stop. (01:32:30)

NancyFelix

Correction: There's nothing to suggest that they were on the same exact train the entire time.

Knever

Corrected entry: When Irene falls into the river the hits a rock with the right of her head. When she emerges the wound is on the left side. (01:37:20)

NancyFelix

Correction: Having just watched the scene in question, it's very clear that it is the left side of her face that hits the rock.

Knever

Corrected entry: When Charlie and Irene approach the cow on the street they act as it had already started decaying. However, the cow is still alive. (00:29:50)

NancyFelix

Correction: They never do anything to indicate that the cow is decomposing, they just hold their noses and complain that it smells bad. This can have several different reasons, such that the cow is sick (which would also explain why it was lying in the middle of the road), or that it had been lying in something smelly.

Twotall

Corrected entry: On his pursuit of Mickie and Irene on the decrepit bridge Charlie stops at a rather wide gap between the planks. If he can't pass it, how could Mickie with the struggling Irene in his arms? (01:34:25)

NancyFelix

Correction: Charlie is afraid of water, and that's a big part of why he has difficulties crossing the gap. Mickie does not have any such problems, and in addition, he has a gun on Irene. He could have forced Irene to cross first, and followed her later, to regain his hold on her on the other side.

Twotall

Corrected entry: After crashing Dick's car into the barber shop Charlie tells him that he got a headlight out. Since he had just gotten out of the car and was still standing at the door he couldn't have seen the damage. (00:21:10)

NancyFelix

Correction: He just crashed the car through the window, so there has to be damage (probably worse than a bulb out). Charlie is making a joke.

Corrected entry: I'm aware that this is one of the running gags the movie lives on, but the diction of Charlie's African-American stepsons is not compatible with the frequently stressed fact that they are top students brought up by a decent stepfather, who spend most of their time at home studying, watching TV, or eating (or combinations thereof). It almost seems that the moviemakers try to suggest that the compulsory use of motherf***er/f***ing (about 50% of their total text delivery) is the result of a genetic disposition.

NancyFelix

Correction: The genetic make up is the fact that their real father is a member of MENSA. I think you missed the gag. If you watch the beginning of the movie when the boys are small they are bored with the programming that their dad is watching. They then asked if they could watch Richard Pryor on HBO. The gag is that the majority of their TV watching was HBO (possibly mostly the black foul mouthed comedians). So the suggestion would be that the foul language is from the way they were raised rather than genetic disposition.
