Revealing mistake: During Ash's fistfight with Henrietta near the end, the blade of the chainsaw can be seen flopping like rubber. (01:12:10)

Evil Dead II (1987)

Factual error: As Ash is hunting his rebellious hand, he blows a hole about the size of a fist in the wall, then removes two spent shells from the shotgun. At that range, a double-barreled shotgun blast would have dealt much more damage. At several later points, he deals the exact same damage to a wall with only one barrel. (00:32:45)

Evil Dead II (1987)

Revealing mistake: As Ash is duct-taping his sleeve shut after he cuts off his hand, you can see the impression of his largest knuckles and first two fingers under the cloth. (00:31:45)

Evil Dead II (1987)

Audio problem: It's quite obvious that all of the grunts and sounds of terror that Ash makes while his hand is attacking him in the kitchen are dubbed. (00:28:45)

Evil Dead II (1987)

Continuity mistake: Linda's hair is dark as it rolls toward her standing headless corpse, but blonde as it attaches. It's dark again as she bangs Ash's head against the window blockade, but blonde when her head falls off a moment later. (00:17:50 - 00:18:45)

Evil Dead II (1987)

Factual error: A line of blood flies onto the door of the work shed while Ash is using the chainsaw on Linda's head. However, the shadows of Ash and the head show that they are perpendicular to the door. All of the blood would be moved by the chainsaw in the direction of the cut, either toward Ash or the wall behind the head, so there is no way that much blood could land on the door. (00:22:00)

Continuity mistake: Linda's head in the vise changes from at an angle in shots from behind to straight up in front shots. (00:20:30)

Evil Dead II (1987)

Audio problem: When Ash is struggling with Linda's head, he bangs it against several objects. At one point he slams the wall, which sounds like a large metal panel or piece of aluminum siding. The cabin is made of wood. (00:19:45)
