Goofs

When Victor's car hangs off the cliff the rear wheels are off the ground spinning while both he and Nina are underneath. After the shot of Nina pressing Victor's arm into the rear tire the next shot shows the left front tire spinning in the dirt. Mustangs don't come with all wheel drive.

Victor's shirtsleeve is up in one shot of his arm when he is trapped under the Mustang. In all the other shots, his sleeve is down.

Share this

When Maggie jumps back into the Mustang she tosses her purse into the back seat, but it bounces outside the car, the strap catching on the convertible frame. Later she reaches for her purse in the back seat.
