MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: In the beginning, Peter says he got three Stephen King (I) books, "Stand By Me", "Misery", and "The Shawshank Redemption". The movie Stand by Me (1986) is actually based on the King novella "The Body"; The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is based on the novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption". Both novellas were published together in the book "Different Seasons". Not only are there no King novels titled "Stand By Me" or "The Shawshank Redemption", but Peter could not have checked out three different books from the library.
CONT: In the Shawshank Redemption segment when Andy (Peter) is escaping, he sees the Warden through the grill watching television. The TV has an antenna, but in the next shot the antenna is gone.
CONT: When we see Peter/Andy's empty prison cell, discovered by Seamus the wooden pirate, there is no poster next to the Star Wars figurines; however when Carter/The Warden walks in there is one, into which he throws a rock.
PLOT: When Andy tells Red, who he never met before, to go to Maine and get the box that he left there, the card says, "Red, do you remember the town in Mexico?" It is impossible for Andy to have left that box in Maine, during his time in prison, for he was in prison for more than 20 years, and couldn't have addressed the letter to Red before he was in prison because he never met Red. The card tells about the town in Mexico, which shouldn't have been mentioned since he never planned that trip until he was in the prison.
CONT: The pipe Andy breaks into is shown to be under pressure, when it sprays in his face, but when he gets in the pipe, the water is barely over an inch, and not flowing.

TRIVIA

Each segment features Joe with his legs fully functional - only to end up paralyzed somehow during each story.
Roy Scheider's final television appearance.
In the original book, Shawshank Redemption, the character Red, is a white Irish man. The irony here is that Peter (who plays Andy) is a white Irish Man.
The title is based on the Christian story of the birth of Jesus Christ who was visited by three kings, magi or wise men that came to worship him and brought him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. It also refers to the fact that all three of the films being parodied were based on Stephen King (I) stories.
