Other: Near the end of the movie, directly after Deeds pulls Babe out of the ice cold water, is it just me or is her Old-Navy-type jacket still dry? (It still looks light colored and fuzzy) Should it not be wet considering her whole body was just in water?

Continuity: During the scene in which the homeless character portrayed by Steve Buscemi is having a conversation with Longfellow, he is eating a slice of his favourite pizza; French Fries & Oreos. In shot in the scene Buscemi takes a bite out of the slice of pizza, and there is one Oreo on the slice, toward the front of it. Then the shot goes to Longfellow for a moment, and in the next shot of Buscemi, the Oreo is suddenly at the other end of the slice. The Oreo continues moving from the front to the back of the slice throughout the scene.

Deliberate "mistake": Am I REALLY supposed to believe that a helicopter is capable of hovering above the top of Mt Everest? [In the DVD specials, the filmmakers say that they're absolutely aware that it's not possible for a helicopter to hover above Mt Everest. They just thought it would be a funny scene if a helicopter pulled the dead guy away from the mountain.]

Continuity: The most flame retardant box of cereal ever! When Deeds saves the woman from the burning building, there is a box of cereal next to the window that is on fire, and only on fire at the top of the box. The scene takes three or four minutes, yet through it all the fire never spreads to the rest of the box or dies out. The top just keeps on burning. Product placement, methinks...

Continuity: In Winchestertonfieldville, Iowa, Pam and Deeds stumble across the house with blue shutters and a red door. In a wideshot, the red door has a letterbox and doorknocker, yet when they reach the door the letterbox and doorknocker have vanished!

Continuity: In the scene where Deeds is tossing the cats out the window, he throws a black cat with white paws which gets caught by a dog. The dog runs by a guy who suddenly has the cat in his hands without bending over to pick it up. Not only that, but the cat has become grey with black stripes.

Continuity: In the scene where Deeds is rescuing the cats from the fire, Pam couldn't have gotten the footage while holding a cat over the corsage with the hidden camera.

Continuity: Deeds beats up an opera singer and another rich guy. Pam catches it all on her button camera, but she wouldn't be able to see both assaults from a different view, she shows the same views of the assaults as the actual movie itself shows.

Continuity: In the scene at Madison Square Garden basketball arena, when Deeds is going to propose to Pam during a romantic dinner, the candles on the table constantly change lengths. At one point one of the candles appears to be half the size of the other, but later it is mysteriously longer and almost the same size. The candles should gradually grow shorter during the scene, not longer.

Continuity: When Mr. Wetherley walks off, after Deeds gives him a 'lift', Chuck is standing to the right of Anderson. Shot changes, and he is by Anderson's left.

Audio problem: When Marty, the fake mugger, runs away, he sees Deeds chasing him and runs faster, yelling "Oh Sh*t!" His mouth doesn't move at all to this sentence though.

Factual error: In the scene when Deeds rescues the woman from the fire, right before him and her jump out the window, all seven cats were rescued, but we can visually see a black cat on the left of the screen on top of the stove. Deeds and the woman jump from the window, leaving the black cat on top of the stove to burn in the fire. All seven cats were obviously not rescued.

Audio problem: In the basketball stadium, when "Pam" says "I can explain", she appears to be using her normal voice tone. But she apparently is heard loud & clear by everyone in the middle of the stadium.

Continuity: When Deeds and Emilio make the echo noises, an old man walks in and makes an echo too. Keep an eye on the man standing behind Deeds and Emilio in the elevator. Between shots he walks out the elevator twice.

Continuity: When Emilio is telling Deeds that his mother died while giving birth, you see Emilio look down at the ground. The camera angle changes and he's now seen looking straight up at Deeds and then you see him looking down again.

Audio problem: In the basketball stadium scene, when Deeds is checking everything to make sure it's all right, the violin player plays a couple of notes. The violin player's fingers and bowing don't match the notes he's playing.
