Linda Blair and Lee Purcell in Summer of Fear (1978)

Goofs

Summer of Fear

Edit

Continuity

Rachel's homemade dress that she tries on, becomes a different dress when Julia tries it on. Rachel's original dress is a softer cotton, while the dress that Rachel is wearing, is shiny and has a single sash in the front, versus Rachel's dress that had a full bow.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Rachel is neither married nor engaged to Mike yet wears a gold band on her left hand third finger throughout. **People sometimes wear rings with no significance whatsoever on their ring fingers-it's not illegal!**

Revealing mistakes

About 40 minutes into the movie, Linda Blair's hair is way shorter than previously shown. Then it gets long again.

Miscellaneous

When Rachel says, "What is it? What does she have that has you and Mike so enchanted?", Peter replies, "I guess some people are just special." He starts walking toward the door but then turns around briefly and says, "I like her..." Right after Peter says that, he smiles right at the camera as if he is posing for a picture.

Crew or equipment visible

After Rachel accidentally knocks over Julia's suitcase, you can see a crew member's reflection in the mirror as Rachel kneels down to pick up the suitcase.

Errors in geography

When arranging the flight to Arkansas, the dad mentions directions between Little Rock and Russellville. Assuming this is where the aunt and uncle were killed in the car wreck, the topography is all wrong. This area is hilly, but not mountainous and is primarily forested with occasionally large grassy fields.

Plot holes

When the nurse catches Rachel and Carolyn talking to Professor Jarvis, she immediately tells Carolyn to turn in her uniform and leave. A minute later after Rachel leaves, she tells Carolyn, "One more stunt like that and you *will* be canned."
