When jumping the river, the driver has sunglasses on. In them, you can see a light screen reflected. See more...

Trivia

When we first see Andy Dick, who plays the guy at the front desk of the motel, he is reading/looking at a Celebrity Skin magazine, with Drew Barrymore on the cover. This magazine was chosen by Todd Phillips as an inside joke, because at the time this movie was filmed, Drew Barrymore was engaged to Tom Green, who plays Barry. See more...

The entry you are correcting is:

Title Road Trip
Original entry The scenes supposedly taking place at the University of Austin were actually filmed at Emory University in Atlanta.

Please read carefully:

  • MOST IMPORTANTLY: Be sure you've actually seen the scene yourself and checked it's wrong, rather than just assuming something's a mistake because of how it's worded on the site.
  • Don't just try and think of an excuse - by and large if something looks like a mistake, it's a mistake. Yes, the character may have chosen to suddenly take a jacket off while the camera was off him for 3 seconds, or they may have decided to take all of the batteries out of their clocks, but unless you have any reason to believe that's the case, it's just a movie mistake. Corrections must be based on evidence in the movie, not just a theory.
  • This form is ONLY for disproving entries. If one minor part of an entry is wrong, but the overall entry is still valid, please use the "change text" option instead.
  • Please just write an explanation in the box as to why the entry's wrong. Don't repeat the original text.
  • Having a movie-making explanation isn't a valid correction. Saying "his jacket changes because they shot that scene on different days" might explain WHY the mistake occurs, but doesn't explain it within the context of the film.
  • If an entry says that something changes "between shots" that means it's an instant change, visible onscreen at all times, so it can't be corrected by saying "it only takes a fraction of a second to change positions".
  • Make sure you READ THE ENTRY CLOSELY. You'd be amazed how many people, despite a mistake saying something like "before the explosion, his hair changes", submit a correction saying "the change was caused by the explosion".
  • Mistake spotting isn't about assigning blame to specific people - if there's an entry relating to the subtitles or something similar, the argument "those are done by someone different, it's not the movie-makers' fault" isn't really valid. It's an inconsistency to spot relating to the movie, therefore it's worth listing on this site.
  • Just because something requires slow motion/pause to spot doesn't automatically invalidate it. If the mistake's significant enough then it should be listed regardless. However, minor continuity mistakes (a tiny change in someone's clothing, for example) which needs slow motion to see shouldn't be online.
  • If you don't like a mistake, but can't actually disprove it, just vote it down, or suggest that it should be moved to the "minor" section by selecting "minor entry" from the list of editing options.
  • If you're correcting trivia by saying "that's too obvious" or something similar, bear in mind not everyone may have your level of movie knowledge. Certain references like the Indiana Jones hat-grab from under a door are so well known that they shouldn't be listed, but many others are not. If something's been referenced a lot in the past, it's probably not worth listing, but something more unusual should stay online. Likewise anything interesting on-screen - if it's specifically drawn attention to (like the Ark of the Covenent in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) then it's not worth listing, but if it's something more subtle, just because you noticed it easily, don't assume everyone else did too.
