Mistakes

In the beginning when Aaron is talking to Torrance's parents, he offers to help Mrs. Shipman with her boxes. The camera cuts to her, and she is putting the top of what looks like two boxes in her car. The camera then cuts to Aaron, then back to Mrs. Shipman. When it cuts back to her, she is lifting the same box she had put in the car only moments earlier. See more...

Trivia

Of the three leads, Eliza Dushku is the only one who wasn't a cheerleader in high school. See more...

When the first cheer starts (I'm sexy, I'm cute.) Everybody steps to side, and finally, Big Red start to sing. In the next shot, everyone has taken their positions behind Big Red. How could they do that without be seen? She could has gone under, but then we will have seen them. [It was a dream. Anything can happen in a dream.]

In the audition scene, Whitney closes her notebook after Missy's audition and in the next scene, it is open in front of her. [If we don't see the notebook again until the next "scene", there is plenty of time for Whitney to open it again. It only takes a second to flip open a notebook. If, however, you meant "shot" instead, then resubmit with the correct terminology.]
Edit
The music the Toros use during their routine at the Finals against the Clovers is actually sped up and strung together versions of most of the songs heard previously in the film, including Blaque's theme, "As If," and Cliff's love song to Torrance. [Something this obvious cannot be considered trivia, even a casual viewer will spot the musical similarities.]
Edit Corrected by GalahadFairlight
While they are showing the overview of the preliminaries at nationals, it shows the Toros doing the move where the cheerleader does a frontflip and is caught by some other cheerleaders. But in the finals of the nationals, it is actually the Clovers that perform this move. [Watch the routine very, very closely and both teams do it - It's one of the background stunts in the Toros routine.]
Edit
In the scene where Cliff is playing his guitar and Torrance is watching him, it is really obvious that he isn't actually playing the guitar, because more than once he falls over and stops "playing", yet the guitar music keeps going while he is stopped. [He is actually not suppose to be playing for real. He is "air guitaring"(with a real guitar) to a tape of his. You can see him put the tape in before he get the guitar.]
Edit
In the opening scene of the movie, the number of female cheerleaders changes several times. You have to watch very carefully as the scene moves quite quickly. [It is a dream and not reality, so anything could happen in a dream.]
Edit
When they are at the football game and the cheerleaders from the other team come up and do their little cheer to the Toros, they say, "You suck." But on the part where they lift up their skirts the subtitles say, "You Scum." [Not a movie mistake. Wrong subtitles aren't done at the same time as the movie.]
Edit
At the beginning of the film where big red is talking to the girls in the locker room she walks down one row of lockers but when she goes to walk down the other and she has her back to the camera you see her almost go over on her ankle. [This isn't really a movie mistake. If anything, it is a character mistake.]
Edit
During Missy's Cheerleading Audition, when she attempts to do her first cartwheel act, she first takes out the notebook with the keychains all dangling. When she leaves, there is only a notebook, no chains, no keys. [For one, the thing hanging on the keychain is not a notebook, it's a wallet purse type thing, and the keys were hidden behind the wallet, they didn't disappear. ]
Edit
We're told at the finals that there are 50 teams, one from every state regional final. But apart from the Clovers (the regional champions) and the Toros (who get a bye for being defending champions), we also see a team with white and blue uniforms with the word SAINTS written on the front in yellow letters competing in both the regionals and the nationals. [Actually the announcer says there are 50 teams from across the nation. This doesn't necessarily mean one from each state. Therefore, California could have had 3 or even more squads, while other states had none at the finals.]
Edit
How is it possible that the Toros go to all these competitions and compete at Nationals without a coach or sponsor? Any cheerleader like me knows that if you don't have a coach or sponsor, you're not even a team. [The Toros do have a sponsor - Darcy's dad. It's stated in the film a few times e.g. "Darcy thinks she should get captain because her dad pays for everything." It's probably that he's a rich man and owns a company that can sponsor the Toros. As for a coach, it's never stated that they don't have one, maybe because they're allowed to make their own decisions and its not vital for him/her to appear in the film.]
Edit
In the scene for the cheerleading fund-raiser car wash, Cliff comes up with his car and Missy has Torrance come over so Cliff can "check out her rack". Cliff says, "I begged my mom for a brother". This is not possible, as he is younger than Missy. [Cliff is actually older than Missy, not younger.]
Edit
At the end of the movie when the MC's are announcing the wining squads they say that the five finalist teams are presented at the end today, yet on the floor there are only four teams, the Toros, the Clovers, the Cavilers, and another team, but no fifth team. [There are two teams between the Toros and the East Compton team, the uniforms are different colors. It's hard to see, because they stand so closely together.]
Edit Corrected by Timothy Magnus
When the preliminaries are shown there are different clips of many squads at different points in their routines, and one time a Toro girl is thrown in the air over two people, does a flip in the air and is caught, but when they show the entire routine the next day at the finals there is nothing closely resembling this move during the entirety of the routine. [It is not unusual in exhibition sports like these (ice skating is another) to practice a routine's very hard moves and then decide not to include them during the actual competition.]
Edit Corrected by Myridon
At one point in the film, Missy says, "State Regionals, here we come," but any high school athlete, particularly a cheerleader, would know that a Regional Competition takes place within a state, and those placing highest at Regionals would then move on to the State Competition. [Character error not film error.]
Edit Corrected by Rlvlk
In cheerleading, you're supposed to make 'bring it on' type faces, but the judges do give you major points off if you don't smile at all - and the Clovers don't. Their routine is great, but if they didn't smile, I highly doubt they would have even made it to regionals. [The Clovers are smiling during their routine.]
Edit
When Torrance and her brother are having an argument about Aaron being gay she pulls the controller out of the PlayStation. Then there is a shot of the PlayStation and you can see that the lid is open and the game is still running. PlayStation games do not run if the lid is open. [Playstation games will contiue to run while the lid is open, some go to a pause screen while others run slowly. ]
Edit
When the team hires Sparky to teach them a routine, he brings a boom box, which he uses to play the music. During one scene, he gets angry at them and slams a stool against a rail. When he does this, the music stops, even though he hasn't touched the boom box. [The boom box stops because of the vibration from the stool hitting the rail, this happens in my gym when something hits the floor.]
Edit
During Missy's first football game, the other team's cheerleaders do a cheer and tell them that they suck. In response, the Toro's do their "That's all right, that's OK, you're going to pump our gas someday" routine back at them. I highly doubt this is a routine rehearsed during practice, but Missy appears to know it very well. [They very well could rehearse it at practice.]
Edit Time
In the scene where Missy wets her finger to prove that the tattoo is fake, it shows that she only wipes away the bottom half of the tattoo. However, in the very next scene where Torrence goes to Missy's house begging her to join, the tattoo on Missy's arm looks like she erased the top half as well as the bottom half. [She could have wiped off more of it when she got home...that is possible.]
