Donnie Darko
- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE WEBMISTRESS!!! -
In the tradition of STIR OF ECHOS and FINAL
DESTINATION, DONNIE DARKO is an edgy, psychological thriller about a
suburban teen coming face-to-face with his dark destiny. Jake Gyllenhaal leads a
star filled cast (including Drew Barrymore, Noah Whyle, Jena Malone, Patrick
Swayze and Mary McDonnell) as a delusional high school student visited by a
demonic rabbit rabbit with eerie visions of the past and deadly
predictions for the future. This "excitingly original", (Entertainment
Weekly) nail-biter will keep you on the edge of your seat until the
mind-bending climax. ( This plot summary was taken from the back of the DONNIE
DARKO DVD)

Mistakes
In the shot near the end of the film where Donnie grabs the
keys for the Station Wagon, you can see a Blockbuster Video member card in a
cup. That design of the card wasn't used until mid-late 1990's. This movie takes
place in 1988.
Donnie's sister receives a letter, accepting her
into Harvard. However acceptions for Harvard do not come out until November at
the earliest and the film is set in October.
Mrs. Darko's friend mentions that Jim Cunningham is
single, but he appears to be wearing a wedding band during the school assembly
and the talent show.
In the class, Cherita write an 'x' on the board. A
shot later, the letter is less bright.
In the scene where the students are asked to write
"They made me do it" on the blackboard, Sam Bylan is called up just
before Donnie, yet on the principal's checklist Cherita is before Donnie and
after Sam.
In the scene near the beginning in which Donnie's
dad is using the leaf blower, the trees are full with very green leaves while
the ground is covered in very colorful ones. There are no naked trees anywhere
or trees with leaves that have changed, and, when considering the amount of
leaves on the ground, there should be many.
