Continuity mistake: After Will Ferrell burns himself jumping through the fire hoop as the mascot, he is seen with a burnt red upper body. In the floor exercise shot and after, there is no redness on his shoulders. (01:18:25 - 01:19:20)

Continuity mistake: When Frank falls over the table after shooting himself with the dart gun, there is a straw hat on the chair. The hat sticks under his right arm. But in the next shot, it is away from his arm and visible in front of the camera. (00:53:10)

Continuity mistake: When Frank is seen streaking down the street, there is a brunette in the back of his wife's vehicle and she is wearing a hat, but in the end of the scene after Frank has sat beside her the hat disappears between cuts. (00:23:25)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: When Mitch's real estate buddy says that he knows about him and the boss's daughter, Mitch slaps him and points his right finger at him. In the next shot, it's his left finger that's pointing. (00:40:50)

Continuity mistake: When Mitch is finished photocopying posters, he places the original white one on the bottom of the pile. In the next shot, it is on the top.

Continuity mistake: At the end when Luke Wilson is moving out, there is a couch behind him in the U-Haul. It has boxes and a helmet on it. In the next shot, the couch has nothing on it.

Continuity mistake: The door to Will Ferrell's Firebird is closed in a tight shot when his wife is talking to him. When they cut to a wider shot, the door is open.

Continuity mistake: When the frat throws Blue a KY wrestling match, they have several matches before it's Blue's turn. However, when they show Blue and the two girls in the kiddie pool, the pool looks like it has never been used - there is no KY on the sides. There is no way they could've cleaned it all up, and I doubt they had a separate pool lying around just for him.

Other mistake: When Mitch, Frank, and Beanie decide that they are going to have a party they say the party is on a Friday night. When they show the outside of Mitch's house you see the sign for the party and it says the party is on Thursday at 9:00. Then when Frank talks to the guys with the beer bong he says that tomorrow he has a nice Saturday planned. If the sign is right then he would have a pretty nice Friday.
