Goofs

The Collector

Edit

Continuity

Arkin is wearing black sneakers when he enters the house, then as he's walking through, he comes across a trip wire and it shows the boot of the Collector. Then when Arkin is walking down the stairs into the basement he is wearing some worn brown boots - a total of three different pairs of shoes within 5 minutes.
When Arkin tries to release Larry from the box we see that his feet have been pinned and he is chained. When "The Collector" picks Larry up after the electrocution we can see that Larry's feet are clean with no wound marks.
When The Collector's van crashed into the ambulance, that was taking Arkin to the hospital, the front of the van is completely undamaged.
(at around 1h 5 mins) After the girl and the hero electrocute the old man. The collector grabs the old mans feet to move him. The water that previously covered the floor is gone. The wood floor is dry.
(at around 57 mins) When the daughter and boyfriend are making out in the kitchen. He tears her shirt off of her. When she jumps up after seeing the collector she pulls her gray sweater over her chest. In the next scene her white shirt is buttoned up again.

Factual errors

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

The Napco Alarm panel alternates LEDs on then off even though power is off in the house. However, many alarms have battery backups of some sort so they can provide security even if there's an outage.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 1h 23 mins) In the ambulance, when the collector is cutting the hero out of his restraints, the hero has shoes on when he should be barefoot.
(at around 1h 9 mins) When Arkin is being picked up off the ground by the Paramedics, it is raining in the foreground and the background yet there is no rain landing on him or around him.
The alarm panel is Napco but the control panel is a different manufacturer.

Character error

(at around 21 mins) When Arkin first breaks into the house, he uses lock pick tools. The straight flat one he inserts in the bottom and the jagged one on top. However the jagged edges are pointing downward and would not be able to click the tumblers.
(at around 7 mins) The wife injects a huge amount (appears to be 1-2ml) of botox into her eyebrow. Only small amounts (0.1ml) are required.
