* In the second excerpt from ''See You Next Wednesday'' (the porn flick), the topless woman answers the phone, says there's no one there by that name, and hangs up. There's a hand visible on the bed behind her, which is completely still and ''very'' pale-looking. Is the hand ''supposed'' to look dead, as if she'd literally screwed the guy she was with to death and then lied on the phone to deny her victim was ever there, or is it just more StylisticSuck that the hand has too-pale makeup on...?

** The animal stands like a bear, not a dog.

* Shouldn't Alex have immediately found it suspicious to come home and find her flat door open, David missing, and his abandoned clothes (complete with ripped T-shirt) scattered all over the living room...? Especially since David probably didn't bring more than, at most, two sets of clothing with him for his backpacking trip, none of which are unaccounted-for. Yet Alex doesn't seem to have reported a possible abduction to the police, who are merely said to be "looking" for David, not searching her flat for clues to his disappearance.

** She does cry out "David? Is it you?" like she's still not sure ''what'' the creature is. She tries to talk it down because she's not sure either way, and it's his reversion to human form after dying that confirms it was all true. Hence, the intensity of her reaction as she bursts into tears: it's not ''just'' that the cute guy she's known for a week is dead, it's that her world-view is shattered as well.

* On a related note, if the victims of a werewolf are condemned to walk the Earth in Limbo, why didn't the ''other werewolf'' - the one who infected David - turn up as a ghost as well? Presumably ''he'' was attacked at some point in the past also, and David ''did'' get to personally witness ''his'' death. Does being shot dead ''as'' a werewolf not qualify as an "unnatural death", or is it that being killed in defense of one's victim is justifiable homicide, not murder?

** David is too battered, medicated and confused to continue the initial conversation with his doctor and the American liaison for more than a few minutes. He probably ''did'' talk to his parents long-distance once he woke up fully, we just don't see the conversation.

** At best, it's mentioned that his family made arrangements to wire money to the hospital to pay for his treatment. But yeah, that's pretty much it.

* Where was David's family in all of this? The poor guy spends three weeks in the hospital and there's never any indication that his parents came to check up on him. The only people who came from the States was Jack's family. Even after David is discharged his family doesn't try to reach him, and when he later calls home his sibling seems less than interested in talking to him. Why wouldn't they try to check up on him when he was unconscious for three weeks and his best friend had died?

** Possibly there are, but David just can't ''see'' the ones whose deaths he didn't personally cause or witness. Jack does imply he's been talking to other dead people even before David's first rampage.

* Jack said his spirit was trapped in limbo until the werewolf that killed him's bloodline was severed...so back to the dawn of time no other werewolf in David's bloodline had taken a life before Jack? Shouldn't there be an army of ghouls?

* One problem at the end: [[spoiler:when the firing squad kills werewolf David,]] Alex was standing right in front of them when they did. How did she not get hit too?

** Looking at his penis is part of her job. Gossiping about it to other nurses afterwards isn't.

* Anyone who's been hospitalized and unconscious for three weeks would need to be hooked up to an IV and catheter. Nurse Gallagher's comment about having "had a look" at David's privates shouldn't have invited criticism from the others, as it'd be among the nurses' daily duties to check that the catheter remains in place.
