    • Goofs
      The "Sheriff's Dept." shoulder patches on Norm's uniform show the state of Texas, but all license plates (and even a map) show that the movie takes place in Missouri.

    Continuity?
    Hey, producers. Note: If you go to the trouble of intentionally setting your storyline in Missouri and go to the trouble of creating a fictional county and making sure the license plates say "Missouri," go the extra mile and make sure the deputy sheriff in the film isn't wearing an prominent "Texas" patch on his shirt. From the point that I saw that, all I could think was this story had a rank amateur lurking in the background somewhere.
