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.

Revealing: When Richard (David Spade) vacuums the "moths", you can clearly see they are little balls of cotton or other material being blown by a chute of air to make them appear as if they were flying.

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.

Visible crew/equipment: Before Beverley comes out of the pool, a crew member and a boom mike are reflected in the glass door that Big Tom closes.

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.]

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.

Factual error: They talk about how the brake pad factory is the only thing keeping the city (Sandusky, Ohio) alive. I guess they forgot about Cedar Point, one of the most popular theme parks in the world.

Continuity: Tommy and Tom Sr. are celebrating the engagement and drinking champagne. In one shot, Tommy is holding the glass in one hand, while in the shot immediately following, he holds it in the other.
