Continuity: In the classroom scene just prior to the naming of the band, Dewey is seated with his feet on his desk playing his guitar. The two girls approach him with the SOR T-shirt. From their perspective (front) there is nothing near Dewey's feet, but when the view switches to Dewey's perspective, the rabbit on the desk is now only an inch or so from his foot. In the wide shot the rabbit is nearly a foot away.

Audio problem: Right before Dewey walks into the classroom for the first time, he tells the principal, "check." The shot changes to behind Dewey's head and we can see him saying "check" again.

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: 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.

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.

Continuity: When Dewey leaves the bathroom after hearing the kids playing in the music class his shirt is sticking out of his waist band then in the next shot while he's running up the stairs his shirt is stuck back in again.

Audio problem: When Dewey starts playing his guitar towards the end (when he was leaning back in his chair with his feet on his desk, then leaned forward and stood up on the desk) we hear the drums starting to play. In the first shot of the class, the drummer is not doing anything except sitting behind the set, and there's still a beat.

Other: During the credits when the band is having class, Dewey starts singing, "Credits got to roll. Look at that name there. I do not know that guy." While he sings that he pretends to follow one of the rolling names with his finger. Only problem is he's going the wrong way. He's scrolling down, but the credits are scrolling up. (Though an explanation is offered on the commentary, this is still a mistake within the film.)
