Continuity: In one scene of the movie, after Brendan Fraser and Joe Pesci have been sitting on the bridge, Fraser's cast is on one leg. Two seconds later, the cast has switched legs.

Factual error: The graduation scene would have you believe that they are at Harvard. They are actually at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on the main quad in front of Follinger Hall.

Continuity: On the scene when Monty (Brendan Fraser) is talking to his professor about his thesis, the professor puts his glasses on the desk, then turns his back to Monty, when he turns back around, he puts his glasses on the desk again.

Continuity: The morning after Monte tells Simon he can't stay in the cellar because it's flooded, he goes outside to bring Simon his breakfast and his cast is on the wrong foot.

Continuity: Monty (Brendan Fraser) was listening to Simon (Joe Pesci) tell stories about his bag of stones while standing on crutches. Simon offers to carry Monty's books, and Monty hands him the books, keeping his backpack on. In the next scene, they are crossing the bridge and Simon is empty-handed and the backpack is missing as well.

Continuity: I doubt that Brendan Fraser could have ran from their house to the Harvard Library, which is inside the main square, in such a short amount of time.
