Continuity: When Rob Lowe is trying to shoot the trucks at the company, he gets back into the car and then gets strangled by the seatbelt. When this happens, the car door closes. He then fires a shot, which hits the sign, which hits the dog's chain. When the dog jumps into the car, the car door closes again.

Deliberate "mistake": The huge bruise on Tommy's face, from the board hitting him, disappears in less than a day.

Continuity: When Tommy's "stepbrother", Paul, is shooting out the tyres he drops a cigar. When panned out there is no cigar on the ground.

Factual error: At the end of the movie when Tommy is in the boat and needs wind from his dad, you can see the bottom of the lake! If it were so shallow he would probably be grounded.

Continuity: When Chris Farley and David Spade get into a fight on the side of the road and David Spade hits Farley with a 2x4...you can see and hear Spade drop the 2x4 twice. [He doesn't drop it twice. He breaks half of the board and if falls. Then he drops the other half.]
