BLOOPERS
1. At the start of the film where Frank is buying the box, when the camera is zoomed in on the box, you see two glasses, but when the camera is zoomed out there is only one on the table. Also throughout these shots, everything on the table moves around.
2. The number of cups on the table during the opening scene (where Frank buys the box) changes from one to two then back to one.
3. When Frank first opens the puzzle box in the beginning of the film, the inner sides of the sliding pieces are white. Later, when Kirsty opens the box in the hospital, the box's inner sides are brown woodgrain, just like the exterior of the box.
4. At the start of the film when Kirsty is walking towards the house you can see her hair is evenly sitting behind her head, but in the next scene when the camera looks back at her, her hair is bunched to one side.
5. The house was in no condition to be moved into. It needed major renovations and clean up before it was even inhabitable.
6. When seen from the inside, the attic has a single window made from four separate panels of glass. However, from the exterior shots, the real house has six panels.
7. When Julia leaves dinner to "go to bed", the door never latches behind her.
8. When Frank grabs Julia, she screams. Meanwhile, downstairs, the dinner party was still going on. Wouldn't the rest of the dinner party have heard her scream?
9. The amount of blood on Julia from inside the attic to the hallway to the bathroom.
10. Julia's third victim has a (dubbed) American accent when he enters the house. But later, when he is pleading with Julia to save him from Frank, his native British accent has returned.
11. Wouldn't Kirsty have heard the third victim's screams inside an otherwise empty house?
12. If Frank truly had no skin and was re-generating, he would have been very cold and developed massive skin infections that would have likely killed him.
13. When Kirsty is at the top of the stairs hiding from Frank, a shadow of the boom mic is visible on the top corner.
14. Throughout most of the film, Larry has a bandage on his right hand. When he talks to Julia through the bathroom door, Larry's bandage is on his left hand.
15. When Kirsty bumps into the corpse and the maggots fall out, that would suggest that the decomposing dead man had been there for some time. Even if it was well hidden by Julia (and perhaps also by Frank), the smell of a decaying body or two should have been noticed.
16. When Kirsty discovers Frank, he delivers his catchphrase, "Come to Daddy". But later, when Kirsty is fleeing the house with the puzzle box, the line is heard again but it is in Larry's voice even though Frank hasn't replaced him yet.
17. Just before Frank inadvertently stabs Julia, the bandage on his right hand disappears for two shots in close-up.
18. Nuns would not just walk past a woman with blood on her shirt looking like she's just been attacked. They would have helped her immediately.
19. When Kirsty first wakes up in the hospital bed, the tray-table in front of her is empty. The doctor comes in and deposits the puzzle box on the table. He says he'll get her a phone after they've talked. However, directly after he leaves, we see that a phone has appeared on the table. It is neither mentioned nor used.
20. When Kirsty opens the box while in the hospital, the walls begin to part and you see tons of cobwebs being stretched between the two walls. However, in the next shot, Kirsty is shown walking toward the opening but the cobwebs are gone.
21. When the Engineer chases Kirsty, the trolley and crew pushing it are visible.
22. While Kirsty is running away from the Engineer, the camera cuts to the tunnel, and it seems like she is running the wrong way (the tunnel with the painted disappearing point appears supposedly ahead of her).
23. When Kirsty is trying to get out of the hospital room, she says the door is locked. However, when she walks away from it we can see a push-plate on the door and no handle or lock mechanism.
24. When Kirsty is in the hospital, the moment Kirsty she begins down the Cenobite hallway, you can clearly see a crew member at the end of the hallway to the right step onto the set and immediately leave.
25. At one point, an Intercity 125 train with a British Rail logo passes Kirsty, contradicting the film's American setting.
26. When Pinhead pieces together the remains of Frank's face, the eyes are seen attached to the facial skin. If chains were tearing the skin of his face off, his eyes wouldn't come with it (unless they were hooked as well, which they weren't).
27. Despite having been revealed to be Frank wearing Larry's skin, Frank continues to use Larry's voice, even when in pain.
