After Art & Ray successfully blow up the Klopeks house, Ray emerges from the ruins and the porch collapses behind him. It can be seen that the porch supports are dragged backwards towards the house to allow the porch to collapse behind Ray. See more...

There are 2 Psycho references in this movie. When Ray and Art see Hans come out of his house the first time, and in the background you can see a house that looks almost exactly like the Psycho house. The inside of the Klopek's house is exactly the same as the house in Psycho. [The only similarity between the houses is that they are both old and not maintained. As for the inside of the house, it is substantially different. The walls, doors, layout, even the fireplace, are all different.]
When Walter is looking through the window inside his house, the flames from the Klopeks house do not reflect off the glass on his window right. Walter shadows the flames but thats not the way it should be looking at a closed reflected window. [Walter is standing inside the house and looking out through a broken window. (Remember, a nearby house had just exploded.) Where the glass is not reflecting the fire, there is either no glass, or it is not angled correctly to reflect the fire from that viewpoint, which is not that hard to imagine under the circumstances.]

When Ray leaves the house to take Vince for a walk he lets the dog loose to "have a field day". After Ray, Art & Ricky Butler tell the story of "Skip", Ray returns to his house, but forgets the dog and leaves him outside. [In this scene we don't actually see Ray go back into his house. On camera he gets to the bottom of the steps to his porch before it cuts to the next scene. But, if you watch the end of this scene just as Ray is about to go up his porch steps he looks over towards Art's front lawn which is where he let Vince the dog loose so maybe he calls Vince back just after that.]
When the Klopeck's son comes out on the porch for the first time, there is a scan shot of the neighborhood from his point of view. Missing across the street is the Army guy and his sexy wife who are shown gardening in front of their house in the subsequent shots. [During the scan, you can see the Rumsfeld's across the street. They are behind the flag pole in their front yard.]
