Corrections

After the cops have been informed that the demon is coming up the stairs, you can see that most of the cops have automatic weapons and not the pistols that cops from a small town would normally have. They might have had a few but not the ten to twelve they had in the movie. [Nonsense. Police in small towns around the country have semi-automatic pistols, semi-automatic shotguns, automatic and semi-automatic pistol-caliber carbines, and semi-automatic and automatic rifles. I work for a 31-person department and we have had all those things and I am personally aware of many other departments, some much smaller than 31 sworn officers, who have similiar armaments.]

Having your eyes removed would not kill you, so Darry should still have been alive when he is seen at the end of the movie. [Look again. The entire back half of his head is missing, including his eyes. Also, who's to say what else the creature did or did not do to him between the time he captures Danny and we see him back at the creature's hideout?]

When the Demon has just ripped the tongue out of the police officers head, and he has eaten the tongue, when he is finished he puts the head in the back of his truck. Where on Earth did his truck come from? [There is no indication of how much time has passed between the two scenes.]

When Darry falls down the pipe the ground is clear, and he walks about 10 steps to the body in the sheet. However the wrapped up body should have been at the bottom on the pipe, where the boy fell, unless the body was able to move 15 ft on its own. [The boy was just about alive so he probably wriggled to move as he was scared or in pain.]

When Darryl falls down the pit, he realizes his hand is bleeding so he tears off his shirt sleeve and uses it as a makeshift bandage. That was his left hand. Later, in the car with Trish, he has a proper one-on his RIGHT hand. [He never has a bandage on his right hand. It's always on his left hand.]

During the entire time that Darry is driving, he has no problems with shifting, but when his sister tries driving the car, she has problems with the gears, every time! Its her car, she shouldn't be having so many problems with it. [When he's driving the car, there are no major obvious problems. Every time she tries to drive it, however, she's in a panic, and probably does major damage to the transmission in her haste. She probably wouldn't have had trouble shifting if she wasn't being chased by a giant, flesh-eating winged monster.]

Since when do hell-born freaks have an intuitive knowledge of mechanics? And where did he get the turbo engines and various add-ons needed to reach such high speeds? It's a small rural area and it would look pretty odd if he just strolled into an auto shop and piled the stuff into a trolley. [We are never told how long he's been around for, and could easily have accumulated the knowledge and parts over the years.]

This creature only gets to eat every 23 years for 23 days (as revealed in Jeep Creep 2). Why would it waste time fixing up that old truck to go so fast when it can fly? [It uses the truck to scare people so it can smell their fear and decide if there's something in them it likes without drawing too much attention to itself. By JC2 it is into the final day so it is desperate to stock up on organs, and not too concerned with secrecy any more.]

When Darry is dropped down the pipe he slides down on his stomach, but in the next shot we see him fall and land on his back. How did he manage to turn around completely? [Darry slides down on his stomach. But soon, he gets his foot caught in vines, which causes him to flip over on his back.]

What I don't get is how if this monster only comes out every twenty three years he has time to march himself into the license plate office and register a license plate that says "BEATINGU"! [You never see a registration sticker on the license plate. He either made the plate himself, (he is in a workshop at the end of the movie) or he did indeed get the license plate legally. Giselle, the psychic, said he dresses like a man, the trenchcoat, hat and clothes he wears.]

When Darry and Trisha stop to refuel at station they are empty, yet when they drive off they haven't refuelled. Are they running on air? [The last scene at the gas station shows them looking at the fingerprints on the door. It doesn't show them getting in the car and driving away. They could have refueled before driving back to the church.]

In the shot where The Creeper is dumping the bodies into the pipe it dumps two bodies, yet later in the movie when darry slides down the pipe you can only see one body, what happened to the other one? [The other body could still be there but Darry doesn't take time to look, after having seen the first body.]

If the monster in Jeepers Creepers can only survive by consuming body parts of humans where did he get his wings from? [He could've been born or created with the wings. He could regenerate them by eating lots of birds.]

In the scene where Darry has fallen into the pipe, how come to bodies of the people that were killed so long ago never decayed over the years? [Darry mentions later that the Creeper preserves them like wax sculptures sealing their bodies with some sort of preservative. It's reasonable to assume then that the decaying process is greatly postponed or even eliminated.]

At the end we see that the demon has taken Darry's eyes out to have for himself. Why would he need them if he had a pair of eyes right from the start? [From Jiselle's comment about the monster eating too many hearts we can assume that he eats more organs than he needs to refresh the ones he has already. Maybe his eyes were getting worn out.]

When Dari is peering down the pipe at the beggining of the film, he cannot see the floor at the bottom. But when he falls down to the floor at the bottom his sister looks down and she can see him, because when he turns his head to look at something she asks him what he is looking at. [His torch lights up the place enough for her to see what he's doing.]

When Darry gets stuck in the cellar, he says there is no way out, so how did he get out a few minutes later? They didn't say he found a way out! [He clearly says to his sister that it must be part of the basement of the church, and there will thus be a way out. Also: when he finds the bodies of the dead couple, he is standing right beside stairs.]
