Add actor/director information
Genres: Comedy
Continuity: Pest hits the cue ball straight into the glass, but in another shot he is positioned the right.
Continuity: When the guy puts the tattoo on Pest's face, the tattoo on his face is different from what was shown before it was put on.
Audio problem: In the Scene where Pest climbs the ladder to the pool party he spits out water and you hear "Ginger, no contest" without him moving his lips.
Continuity: When the pest gets hit in the head by the basketball, it shows a shot of the kids where one of them has his shirt up where you can see his stomach, but the next back view of them, it's pulled down more.
Visible crew/equipment: When the Pest is trying to hustle the crowd as a blind man, there is a Hispanic kid in the background watching. He starts making faces and throwing up hand symbols at the camera. He was either a kid who sneaked onto the set or an extra who decided to get noticed.
Other: Before Pest is getting hunted, the hunter makes a toast, there are two mistakes here, one is that the champagne glasses fluctuate the amount that is in them, and in a couple cut scenes you'll see that it is raining, and in others it isn't.
Audio problem: When Pest slaps his black friend in the car, the last slap does not synch up with the sound of the slap.
Factual error: When the Pest is in his girlfriend's house, and Gustav comes in, the pest has way too many bullets. The pistol he has holds one bullet, not 15 or however many he fired.
Continuity: When Pest is telling his friends about the scams, you see a front shot of him where his glasses are down below his eyes, but next shot which shows from behind, you can see that his glasses are over his eyes.
Continuity: On the island, when Gustav gives Pest the toast drink, the drink keeps changing throughout the scene from being full, to not quite as full.
Continuity: When Pest pulls the guys pants down and the guy says "We kicked Frances a$$", between shots, the guy on the very left moves his cup.
Continuity: At the festival, when the Pest walks over to Xantha he's holding a cup in his hand, when they switch camera angles the cup is gone.
Visible crew/equipment: When Pest hits the cue ball into the cup, you can see the string that lifts it up.
Continuity: At the start when Pest is in the shower, at first when you see him in the mirror he has a hat on. But when he starts his song, he doesn't have any hat on.
Revealing: When Gustav starts shooting Pest and he jumps into the river, you see that it is not Pest who jumps in.
