Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the opening sequence, as the credits roll by, a motorcycle shot is using one location twice. This is when the bike is turning-off the main road onto the side-road, the same side-road is seen twice. Note the placing of the STOP sign, the broken white "fence and the left-hand bend. See more »
