School of Rock (2003) - 30 mistakes
Directed by Richard Linklater, starring Jack Black, Joan Cusack, Mike White
Continuity: At the title sequence, after Dewey's solo, and just before he stage-dives, the camera cuts from him, to the lead guitarist, then back to him. In the first shot of him, he is just putting down his guitar. In the shot of the lead guitarist, the neck of the guitar is visible as if he was still holding and playing it, but when it cuts back to Dewey, the guitar has been put down, and Dewey has his shirt off.
Continuity: In the scene where Dewey tells the class that he is going to be singing and playing guitar, "braceface" says something like "Why are you in the band?" and the shot is of her back with her right arm behind her chair, but when the shot changes so you see the front of her, her arm is in front of her chair on the desk. This happens several times.
Continuity: As Ms. Mullins says, "You know, it's more complicated than that" she brings her right hand up above her shoulders, but in the next shot, her hand is lower. Submitted by Blibbetyblip
Continuity: As Zach finishes singing the song he wrote, he has both his hands on the guitar, but in the next shot, his left hand is on his thigh. Submitted by Blibbetyblip
Continuity: As Zach is 'raising his goblet of rock', his hand gets a lot lower in a shot change. Submitted by Blibbetyblip
Audio problem: Right after the part where the principal and Dewey are having a few beers they are coming home. Dewey starts singing and snapping but, if you look in the car while they are driving into the parking lot, you can see that he is neither snapping nor singing. Submitted by Movieman123
Continuity: As Dewey says "You hate teachers, is that what you're about?", the black bespectacled girl has her hand on the table, but in the next shot, her arms are crossed. Submitted by Blibbetyblip
Factual error: At the "Battle of the Bands" scene, the kids arrive and have less than the length of one song to get ready to go on stage. (We see the band up on stage and hear the Battle of the Bands person tell the kids they're going on after that band.) Yet, when they get up on stage, they've got outfits, hair, makeup - including fancy braids and spikes - that just plain couldn't have been thrown together in five minutes.
