In the scene where Lloyd is in the toilets and reading the graffiti the shot is cut to him looking at his watch to see if it's 2.15. If you pause the video and look closely you will see that it is actually a plastic arm with fake hairs stuck on it. [If you have to pause the movie to see the mistake, it is not a valid mistake.]
After Lloyd has the briefcase and looks at the airport flight departure screens, he says "Eeny, meeny, miny, mo." and in the background there is a woman sitting on a bench staring and smiling directly at the camera. [She is not. Pay close attention to her eyes; she is looking at the other woman sitting on the bench and smiling to her. Also, her head movements implicate that she is having a conversation.]
When Lloyd and Harry are in the hotel room watching TV, they are crying while watching a phone company commercial. The commercial is for Pacific Bell. They are in Aspen. Colorado was a Mountain Bell state (that is to say, back when the phone company in Colorado was still known as "Mountain Bell"). It makes no sense that a "Pacific Bell" commercial would air in Colorado. [Most of the very, very expensive "deluxe presidential suites" come standard with "Satellite Television Programming" for the TV set. They could have easily been watching a program that was broadcast originally on the coast. Furthermore, some "basic cable" packages include channels from other states as well. For example, I get WGN programming from Chicago on my basic cable, even though I live over 500 miles from there.]

Why does the motorcycle cop let Harry and Lloyd go when they still have open bottles of beer in the car? He doesn't even give them a ticket for speeding. [Well, the fact that he drank what he thought was an alcoholic beverage while on duty shows the nature of his character. Given this, it's not surprising that he would wave them along after drinking their urine.]

While Harry is walking up the stairs of the ski lodge he turns around when the female undercover agent asks why he never called her. However, she never gave him more than the first three digits of her phone number at the gas station because he lit himself on fire. [Already submitted and corrected.]

When Harry is talking to the lady in the gas station, and his legs catch fire, you can see the burn gel on his pants. [This isn't burn gel. It's from the gasoline that was spilling out of the tank a few minutes earlier. Considering the large amount of gas pouring out, it would be likely that some of it got on his jeans leg.]
After Lloyd returns from the bar after waiting for Mary for hours, he and Harry laugh about the fact that its 10pm she meant to meet him and not 10am. Harry then says "Well you have your night sorted, I'm off to watch a flick" implying that Lloyd had a date with Mary that evening. But Lloyd then puts TurboLax in Harry's drink as Harry goes to get ready to pick up Mary. It was Lloyd who had a date with Mary and not Harry. [Did you watch this film? Lloyd suspects (correctly) that Harry is not going 'to watch a flick', but to meet Mary. He sabotages his plans by putting TurboLax in his drink. This is the plot of the film, not a mistake.]
The 'Gas Man' thinks Harry and Lloyd knows who he is because of the notice they left at the door of their apartment which was directed towards the gas man. But he still thinks it's a good idea to hitch a ride on their van. For a guy who thinks Harry and Lloyd are following him around for weeks, it's not such a good idea. [Still it was a human decision that anybody could make. Does not classify as a movie mistake.]

Harry says to Lloyd (about him and Mary going skiing), "Yesterday was one of the best days of my life." Actually it was still the same day, only later at night, because Mary wanted Harry to pick her up that night at 7:45pm, and she left with Lloyd to go get the briefcase, when Harry was in the toilet. They all met up again in Harry and Lloyd's hotel room that night with the gunman there. [You have to remember the title: Dumb and Dumber. Of course it's the same day, but to Harry, it might seem like the next day as he is supposed to stupid. ]
When Lloyd was having his dream sequences, some of the settings involve Aspen, or a ski resort. But Lloyd is still under the impression that Aspen is a warm place. [While awake, though Lloyd may have the mistaken impression that Aspen is warm, it does not discount the fact that when asleep, anything is possible in dreams. So in his dream the idea of a snowy Aspen, however inaccurate for him, is still only a dream.]

Lloyd says that the &275,000 IOU inside the suitcase is substitute for the money they spent on a car. He is presumably referring the red Lamborghini Diablo Harry drives in the movie. but really, the estimated cost for that particular model of Lamborghini is not and never has been anywhere close to &275,000. [Assuming it is a 1994 Diablo, the sticker price that year was $239,000. Add a couple of options, sales tax, title, license, and gas-guzzler, and he probably paid right at $275,000 like Lloyd says.]
During the dream sequence when Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly are in the restaurant, when Jim Carrey breaks the guy's arm, there is a "breaking" sound but his arm bends the way it should normally. [It's Lloyd's dream sequence, normal laws of physics don't have to apply. Remember, Lloyd is quite stupid. He might think that bending an arm that way would break it.]
In the restaurant scene where Lloyd is fighting with the chef, he rips out the chef's heart and puts it in a bag. Now watch carefully. When he rips it out, you van see the 'hole' and some blood. But after putting the heart in the bag and giving the bag to the chef, you can see that the hole is gone just as he is falling backwards. [Being one of my favorite movies, i had to check this out... But if you pause it when he's falling backwords, you can see blood on his shirt. You can't see the hole because its blocked by the "Doggy Bag". And although it doesn't say Anything about Blood in the original statement, i still think it should be said. ]
When Harry goes the wrong way, how does Lloyd suddenly become smart enough to realize "you went a third of the country the wrong way"? This would take geographic and mathematical intelligence. [It doesn't take mathematical intelligence, there is no way he has gone a third of the country, it can't have been more than 300-400 miles, which isn't a third of the way across the country. It's another example of their lack of intelligence.]
Notice Jim Carey has trouble reading what's in the news paper in the hotel about Mary's party; but a few scenes before, he can read "Samsonite" just fine. [No, he also has problems reading "Samsonite".]
As Harry and Lloyd are approaching the Colorado border, the law enforcement officials say they have been spotted on I-80 and should be there soon. The next scene shows Harry and Lloyd on a 2-lane road that couldn't be a freeway. [I-80 actually IS a 2 lane road out there in the boonies. I drove out to a friend's wedding in Mercer, PA (which is out almost to Ohio)once, and 80 is 2 lanes through a lot of PA.]
The black police woman says to Harry near the end: "Hey Harry you never called" at the bottom of the stairs just before Harry goes up to the room. How was Harry supposed to call her when he didn't have her number? When she tried to give it him earlier at the gas station, she gave him half of her old phone number, and before she could give him the new one, she left. [She never was going to give him her number. She is an undercover cop tailing Harry and Lloyd because of their involvement in the kidnapping. She is just getting his attention with an amusing statement.]

In the scene where Lloyd is talking to the person at the bar, the barman gives him another beer. In the first shot there are two bottles on the desk, however when he gets another, there is only one bottle. [If you watch closely as the bartender gives him the second beer with his left hand, his right arm is moving as though taking a bottle away.]
Lloyd remarks that he sold some stuff to Billy in (apartment) 4C, yet when the "Gasman" and his accomplice show up at Lloyd and Harry's Apartment have a lone "4" on the door. Shouldn't it also have a letter? [The apartment I live in is "C5", yet the only time I say "C" is when I talk to the manager or another resident. As far as my mail, I just say apartment 5.]
When Lloyd gets ripped off by the old lady, it is at night, however, when he arrives at the apartment distraught it is daytime. Either Lloyd walked very far to get the "bare necessities" for Harry and him, or there is a plain and simple error. [It really isn't actually broad daylight. I suppose the reason it looks like the day time is because of the lamp they have in the room. If you notice outside their window, it's darker than what it was before Lloyd left to get the essentials.]
