Trivia

For those that have the movie in widescreen, watch Ricky when he finishes his poem and makes his way back to his seat. As he does this he pretends to throw up, similar to Jim Carrey in 'Liar Liar' when Jim fakes a throw-up on his client's lover. Just something to look out for. See more...

Mistake Other: In one scene, Janey's brother Cody is being picked on by a group of guys, and Janey is trying to get rid of them. When Jake breaks up the group, Cody throws a punch and accidentally hits Jake. If you watch closely in the next shot, Cody makes the mistake of looking directly into the camera for about a half-second. This is also pointed out by the director on the DVD commentaries.

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning of the football game against the North Compton Wildcats, the team runs out on the field. It cuts to a scene of Jake waving at Janey and in the background the team is going through some drills. It then cuts to another shot of the team running onto the field.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene when Janey falls through the steps, you can see that the double pulls herself into a small room at the bottom of the hole to keep her from getting hit by the falling items which are the second part of the falling joke.

Mistake Continuity: When Janey is messing with the paint you can see paint on her glasses that immediately disappears.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the song when they all pose with their hands in the air, some of them have different positions (head tilted a different way, different leg forward, etc.) when the camera does the panning shot from above.

Mistake Audio problem: After Reggie Ray is in the coma, they tape him to two players and one of them (the one on Reggie's right) makes an obscene comment, which is spoken with amazing clarity though he has a mouthpiece in. His lips are obviously not in sync with what he says.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Jake sings "Janey's got a gun," the people in the crowd behind her scatter. One girl (in a tan coat) is carrying her painting. In the close-up shot the painting has fallen from one of the clips holding it, but in the wide-angle shot the painting is on securely. There is also a girl in blue jeans and a blue sweater and purple shirt sitting to Janey's right. She runs past Janey off the screen. In the next shot (a wide angle) the girl is seen again running behind Janey. Just watching it I think the same could be said about the other people in the class as well.

Mistake Continuity: When Jake goes to ask his sister for a favor, she takes off her robe and hops on the bed, spinning clockwise. In the next shot she is in mid-air, but there is no twist to it - she hops onto the bed straight.

Mistake Continuity: When the boys are watching the girl use the loo, it shows a shot of the ceiling in Janey's classroom (just before the vent falls) and the ceiling is smooth, but when they fall you can see a part of the ceiling has been replaced by some loosely placed white bricks, which would fall easily. When they're on the floor with the turd all over them there are no bricks in sight.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Jake enters Janie's basement where she is painting, (after he says there was a hole in her house) the paint on the brush is red, in the next shot it is greeny-blue. She would not have had time to clean the brush as the different shot lasts for about 3 seconds.

Mistake Continuity: The stupid fat guy's supposed to die because he had so many concussions, but in the scene after the football game when he's on a stretcher and it collapses in the background you see him putting his hands out to make sure he doesn't get hurt during the fall.

Mistake Continuity: When Catherine is taking off Janie's glasses she leans right in, but when the camera angle changes it shows this to be a larger gap. when the camera flicks around again she appears to be leaning in again.

Mistake Continuity: When the guy get up and shouts "Janey's got a gun." there is no one behind him. When it cuts there are suddenly two people painting behind him.

Mistake Continuity: During the football game, Jake is wearing a Nike shoe (black with a swoosh). After the game when talking with Janey it's got a cross-hatched design.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Jake walks into the cafeteria and Austin makes fun of him ("he has a thing for butt ugly girls") there are a stack of wrapped sandwiches on sliced bread in front of the fat guy. A moment later, they are unwrapped sandwiches on hoagie buns.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Priscilla tells Jake that she broke up with him for the weird guy with the floating plastic bag, you can see a string that is suspending the plastic bag in the air.

Mistake Continuity: After the twins are announced as prom queens it shows a close-up of Priscilla, who stands at the front of the crowd (closest to the stage). When the twins walk up the stairs, Priscilla is no longer there.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Jake asks Janey to the prom, Ricky puts his fist to his mouth after she says she will go with Jake. It cuts to a shot where he has nothing in front of his mouth.

Mistake Audio problem: In the scene by the ambulance after the football game against the Wildcats, Jake is seen walking in his football cleats. During this time, it is quiet. Football cleats are extremely loud to walk in.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of Jake singing "Janey's got a gun," he has the microphone angled away from the microphone stand. The shot changes to the guards giving Janey a taser. When it comes back to Jake, the microphone is angled back toward the microphone stand.
