Continuity mistake: When Governor Tracy is chopping down the tree, we see the pre-made cuts (that are suppose to be there). After her 2nd chop the shot changes to her family, but when it goes back to her, there's a new notch in the tree and it's not from her chopping as we don't hear her chopping. When it cuts to the tree the final time, after she says "don't let anyone tell you your job is easy", there are more chop marks that aren't from her.

Character mistake: At Governor Tracy's acceptance speech, she thanks her husband, Dennis, and two children, Andrew and Patrick. However, she has a son and daughter, not two sons. Additionally, her husband is credited as "Donald" not Dennis, who was played by Patrick Pankhurst.

Other mistake: The article on the right-hand side of "The Olympian" seen at the end of the film is the same one seen on the right hand side of the "Daily Journal of Commerce" that Tracy looks at after chopping down the tree. Although the 2nd column of print in the "Daily Journal of Commerce" is now the 1st column of print in "The Olympian."

Continuity mistake: When Mike and Al are on the football field talking, after the truck incident, they're a couple feet away from the "50" and start walking back to the cars, away from the "50" and get to about the 44-yd line. After Roger honks the horn, Mike and Al are now back to around the 50-yd line and next to the "50." And they're closer to the "50" then the first shot.

Continuity mistake: When Mike is talking about seeing his brother while Steve is asleep, you see the Playpen magazine sticking out from under his pillow, on top of a 2nd magazine. When Mike approaches him, the Playpen magazine is under the covers next to Steve and there's only one magazine under the pillow.

Other mistake: When we see the front page picture of Mike with the alcohol and joint, he's pouring the alcohol over his bottom lip and chin, going down the front of his shirt. This doesn't match what we see him do. It does appear that Mike spilt alcohol on himself when off camera, but the wet spot is on the right side of his jacket, but not down the front.

Audio problem: The last scene begins with Al and Mike walking towards the plane speaking. Al asks "are you sure you don't want a job on my staff?" Mike then responds by stating; "you know what Al... I don't really think I'm cut out for politics." Al then is heard laughing at this. It is very clear the audio laugh is actually that of actor David Spade and appears to be placed over a most likely silent smile of Al. (01:20:00)

Governor Tracy: Now you'll have to tell me your name so I know who to make the check out to.
