Continuity: When Lamar is sitting eating in front of the black and white TV, he's sitting up and angled towards the guy next to him who he smiles at while holding his plate up. However when the camera angle changes, he's now slumped down and his plate is nowhere to be seen and he's facing forward.

Continuity: Lamar's javelin that he's seen running with is flexible in the middle and not very rigid, however when the shot after he throws it, we see a solid normal javelin going through the air and visibly a different one altogether.

Factual error: This is both a misspelling in the subtitles and a factual error: During the tricycle race at the homecoming competition, Arnold Poindexter gives Toshiro Takashi a pill and tells him, "This is trichloromethaline, it counters all effects of alcohol in your system". It's spelled "trichloromethylene" which is another term for chloroform. http://msgboard.snopes.com/message/ultimatebb.php?/ubb/get_topic/f/39/t/000989.html.

Continuity: In the scene where Lamar is throwing the javelin, you can see the scoreboard for the games. The Tri-Lambs currently lead the games with 10 points (which was after the tricycle race), but at that part of the movie, the Alpha Betas currently led and had at least 40 points.

Continuity: When Gilbert is handed the mic to talk at the pep rally at the end, his left shoulder is covered with grass and dirt from being thrown on the ground. However when the camera shot shows him first talking to the crowd, all the dirt and grass is significantly less and even completely disappears once Betty and the rest of the nerds come up to join them.

Visible crew/equipment: In the shot where Lewis and Gilbert arrive at Adam's College and are carrying the trunk to the dorm, you see two bicycles crash together. Look closely on the concrete sidewalk below them and you will see the shadow of the film crew rolling by.

Audio problem: When Lewis and Betty go into the moon walk to have sex, she tells Lewis (who she thinks is her boyfriend, Stan) to take off his mask and he shakes his head no. She then says, "Oh Stan, you're so kinky" - but her mouth never moves. She is simply smiling.
