Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Lex, Trip, and Hawk are in Lex's basement getting ready to go to school, there is a closeup of Trip hooking on a chain to the side of his jeans. In the next shot, the chain is hooked on to the front of his jeans.

Mistake Continuity: In the convenience store scene, when Trip and the Robber are fighting with the stretch Armstrong, at the end of one scene, you can see Trip let go of the Stretch Armstrong, then in the next scene, they're still holing on to it.

Mistake Continuity: When Jam is talking to Hawk on the phone and Jam says he's sorry, the tone of voice and look on his face changes from one frame to another when he says "See ya guys at school."

Mistake Other: Lex is in the backstage area and is being chased by a guard. He is walking around carrying a piece of drum equipment and he trips over a cord and drops it. But when the camera shot changes back to him the cord is nowhere to be seen, therefore he really tripped over thin air.

Mistake Continuity: While the four guys are on their way to Detroit, Trip is hanging out of the sunroof.   In the next few shots, you can clearly see that the car has no sunroof for Trip to hang out of. [The Volvo does have a sunroof the whole time, it is actually a moonroof with clean lines that are hard to notice.]

Mistake Continuity: The slice of pizza on the disco guys' windshield changes from shot to shot. In the close-ups, there are hunks of cheese and drippy sauce splattered all over with crust, yet, in the wide shots the windshield is cleaner, with just a small triangle of crust.

Mistake Factual error: In the convenience store scene, the kid in the Ace makeup is playing a KISS pinball machine. The movie is set in 1978, so this is impossible, as the KISS pinball machine didn't hit the streets until summer 1979.

Mistake Factual error: In the beginning when Mystery is practising there's a close-up of Jam's bass drum and judging by the indentations and shape the basshead is on very loose. That would mean the strokes would be very sloppy and resonant, but the beats we hear are sharp and hard.

Mistake Revealing: When Jam answers the telephone he falls, and when the telephone falls too there's no cord in it.

Mistake Continuity: When they are all running out of the church school they don't have the priest's pizza, but in the car, they do.
