BASEketball (1998) - 16 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the last scene, where Coop and Remer make the double play to win the Denslow cup, watch Coop carefully as he makes the winning shot. Just as he catches the ball, he looks at the camera. In the next shot, as he's throwing the ball behind him but just before he hits the ground, he smiles. The whole scene is in slow motion, so it's not too difficult to miss. [It's obvious that he looks at the camera and smiles for comedic effect. Done purposely, it's not a mistake.]
When Cain is telling Coop that in order for the rules to change, every owner (of each team) has to vote 'yes'. Even if every owner voted yes (as you see later, Remer agrees since he is part owner of the team), Coop would still have jurisdiction over them since (as he tells Jenna) he is in charge of the league. [Yes, and? If every owner including Coop voted "yes" to a rules change, it would not matter if Coop had jurisdiction or not. He would not overrule himself, would he? I also doubt that he is in charge of the league. It sounds more that when he makes that statement it is to reflect that as owner, he can vote for rules changes along with the other owners and affect the entire league, nothing more.]
Right at the start when Remur is knocking on Britney's door, Coop is "watering" the plants, and there is not much room from his waist to where the stream of urine is coming out. However, later when they are in the change rooms and Jenna throws the papers/pictures on the bench, you see they have very long penises. [The scene in which they have long "units" was meant to be an exaggeration. It was put in for comedic effect. No mistake here.]
As Joe "Coop" Cooper is in his car travelling to the airport, a song (played by Parker and Stone's band, DVDA)is heard. Some of the lyrics are "You've got some yellow crumbs on your upper lip" Just after this, Coop looks in the rearview mirror and brushes his bottom lip. [He just brings his hand up to his mouth while looking in the mirror, you never see him actually brushing any part of it. To me it looked as if he was surprised to see the crumbs actually there and thought about brushing them off, but he was distracted when the song goes on to singing about his genital warts.]
When Ted Denslow is telling Coup that people only have attention spans measured in nanoseconds, the scene switches to Remer, who is amazed at a yellow bird. You can see the bird is only a few centimetres away from him, and his head is at a slight angle. Yet when we turn back to Ted and Coup, you can see Remer in the background, still looking at the bird, but this time he is looking straight up and the bird is alot further away from him than before. Afterwards, when the crowd get out of control, Remer is nowhere to be seen. [The shot where Remer is in the background happens several seconds later. All he would have to do is move one or two steps to a new position in this time. As for him disappearing later on; well, that just illustrates further how short his attention span is. He would have noticed something new (the wildly partying crowd, perhaps?) and moved on.]
When Jenna and the sick kids are in the taxi, they ask the driver if he can go faster. He then puts on a helmet and it goes to a shot of animals being hit. But in the rear view mirror you can see he has no helmet. [The driver in the rear view mirror is not the same guy who is driving the taxi; the driver in the mirror is the driver of the car which hits all the animals in the programme Coop is watching earlier - 'Road Kill: Caught on Tape', part of which is included in this scene.]
When Reemer and Coop are in the backyard in the beginning of the movie shooting hoops, every time they take a shot and make it the ball either stays near the house wall or either rolls to the side of the court. However in the next shot for either of them, they are shooting the ball without one of them going over and picking the ball up again. Conversation, etc. stays continuous. [This was actually a deliberate mistake. Coop mentioned "as long as we don't have to run or jump or dribble or anything", and they aren't doing any of that.]
As fans of ska punk will know, the Beers' band is Reel Big Fish. But they are seen at other games where the Beers are playing away from home playing different songs for different teams, even though we've established Reel Big Fish are exclusive to the Beers. Surely Reel Big Fish aren't THAT indecisive. [It was never established that Reel big fish were the band of the Beers. They could easily have played at any stadium that they wanted to. ]
After the Beers make the playoff and Jenna runs off crying. You see Coop and Reemer walk by Baxter who has both hands in his pockets. Then a the camera cuts to a closer shot on Baxter and he now has one hand in his pocket and an eavesdropping device has magically appeared in his other hand. [David Zucker has a tendency of having his characters magically produce random objects.]
