Alabama?!

I don't often pick on the Sci-Fi Channel originals like this (though, to be fair, their studio didn't actually make this), but I can't not write out my favorite bits of nonsense..

1. The college professor says they are in Alabama, which it clearly is not. I have seen enough David A. Prior movies to recognize Alabama when I see it and this was definitely West. I want to say that the actor meant to say Arizona but screwed it up. Maybe they should have just left this scene out since it accomplished nothing and the actors (who, along with poor Bruce Boxleitner, were actually pretty good in their roles) are never mentioned again.

2. The scene when Kelly comes home late is subtly funny. Listen to Boxleitner's line when he says he clearly told her to be home by eleven. the word "eleven" is from a different take and the tone in which it was said is very different from the rest of the sentence.

3. Boxleitner hangs up his cell phone after the call from Rob and tosses it down. Then he tells Kelly he'll call her when he hears more about what is going on. But he doesn't pick up the cell phone and take it with him! Maybe he had another phone or maybe he would call from the station, but it still made me laugh.

4. Again, same scene. Boxleitner leaves wearing a red shirt and then is on the crime scene a few hours later in a brown shirt. Later dialogue suggests he didn't return home. Okay, maybe he hit the station and changed clothes, but I doubt if Jim Wynorski did that intentionally.

5. Gil Gerard calls up Boxleitner and tells him Kaya wants to see him. Boxleitner tells him to have her meet him at the hospital. When she arrives, he says, "What are you doing here?"

I could list more, but I would rather other people list funny things they noticed.
