Goofs[]
- Although they never reverse their direction, when Nick and Schanke are walking down Yonge Street, they pass the same bright yellow discount store sign twice.
- As Natalie was checking out how the drug affected Nick's blood, she wasn't in the full sunlight, so the blood that didn't have the drug, almost started to boil and burn, so the reaction to the sunlight more then likely have a slight delayed reaction.
