Secret Window

Other mistake: When Johnny Depp finds the two bodies dead in the jeep, he turns around and spots a squirrel in the tree. We get a point of view shot looking at the squirrel, before Depp faints and the camera starts falling to the left. In the next shot, however, we are facing Johnny Depp and see he has fallen on his right side.

Other mistake: When Amy goes to the cabin at the end (where she gets killed) she is looking for Mort. She calls out for the dog (Chico). Wasn't she told earlier that Shooter killed Chico? (01:22:00)

Suggested correction: First of all, this is a question, not a mistake. And the answer is no, she wasn't told. Mort told both the sheriff and Ken that Shooter killed his dog, and then later mentioned to a confused Ted that he buried his dog, but he never told Amy that Chico was dead.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Mort is in Ken's office telling him about John harassing him. Ken punches the right side of the chess clock down to start it. Then Mort punches the left side, his right to stop it. Then when the camera switches back to Mort's point of view the the left side is up and the right side is down, then Ken punches down the left side to start it, when the right side should have been the one he had to press down to start it.

Questions

Question: At the end of the credits, we hear Johnny Depp sing "mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread." Is there any reason for this, or a tie-in to the movie I missed?

Chosen answer: An additional reference to the full dominant personality takeover of Shooter, everything gravitates South Mississippi.
