Revealing mistake: In the scene where Donna flies as a captain, you can see on the throttle quadrant there are three levers for three engines. There are groups of four dials instead of three for engine temperatures and pressure, and they don't even show symmetric values for similar engines. Furthermore, the altimeter reads over 3000ft, equivalent to a landing in Switzerland or Peru. Finally, there are multiple red and yellow lights on the panel; these colors only come on as a warning like low cabin pressure or engine fire.

Revealing mistake: At several points, there's a really distinct difference in eye color between Mike Myers' (John) real eye and the color contact he has in his other eye.

Revealing mistake: The text of the newspaper article entitled "Stewart Joins Sobieski and Flynn" is about something else other than Ted joining the law firm. (01:20:00)

Continuity mistake: In the examination scene John (Mike Myers) places a Rubik's Cube on the desk in front of him. The camera angle then switches to overhead and the cube is not there. Then he shouts "Stop writing" and the cube is in front of him but further to his right than before.

Trivia: Just something to look for: in the scene when Gwenyth Paltrow goes to see Mike Myers about how she thinks her test scores were messed up, she asks him if she can retest and he says, "That's not procedure." The shot then goes back to her and you can see a plaque on the wall that says "That's Procedure."
