i n t e r e s t i n g   f a c t s

- Actor Ryan Rubio drank two entire cartons of milk before the rage scene was completed.

- Actress Sara Culp used soap in her eyes to make herself cry.

- Several scenes were actually shot with snow falling outside. The angle of the door prevents us from seeing this.

- Niles actually shoots Terri the way Kyle would have (making it clean - although we see this isn't the case).

c o n t i n u i t y   e r r o r s

- Niles calls Terri a "hindrence in a tight skirt," but she never appears in a skirt

- There is no reaction from outside when Niles shoots the girl (screams, etc.)

- The blood spattered on Niles' chest changes (two different days)

- Terri's blood has disappeared from the fridge during the fist fight.

- A band-aid appears on Niles's hand.

- There are no police sirens to herald the arrival of the police.

- There is no evidence that someone has been shot outside (ie: ambulance, etc.)
