Eurotrip corrections

When Scott tells Cooper he's in love with his pen pal, Scott crosses his arms over his chest. The shot changes and now Scott is leaning forward with his arms resting on the computer desk. See more...

Not really a mistake, but very interesting. There is not one single Manchester United badge on display in any of the scenes involving the apparent fan club. Neither in the bar, on any of their clothes or even on their open top bus. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Scotty tries to send Mike an E-mail after she has blocked him, he gets a message saying that he has been blocked. This would not happen as E-mails do not get returned from a blocked address, nor is the sender notified that he/she has been blocked. [It depends on the email server. If sending an email from my company website, any blocked mail is returned, however, it does not usually give a reason. The reason I know this is that while a sent an email to a friend, I received the letter back. After I called her, she unblocked the email address, then the letter went through without error.]

In the scene with the "robot duel" between Scotty and the robot actor outside the Louvre, the robot refers to Scotty in French with the pronoun "tu". This pronoun is for people familiar to the person speaking. Since Scotty is unfamiliar, and also an enemy, the robot actor would refer to Scotty with the impersonal pronoun "vous". This is one example of many of foreign languages being flawed in the movie. [It's a robot, and only able to say what its' programming allows, so it would be a fault of the programmer. Besides, while vous and tu are impersonal and personal pronouns, the rules of using them aren't as strict as what you portray. In formal French these rules are true, but colloquial and slang French do not always follow the rules. Much as formal English and colloquial English do not follow all the rules.]

When Scotty reads the emails in the train he has the exact same message received twice. Once at 28 May and then again at 16 June. Also the @deutchnet.com seems wrong as it would most probably be @deutschnet.com (the correct german spelling). [It's possible that Mieke accidentally sent the same e-mail twice on different dates, which is very easy to do if you save the draft - I've done it multiple times. As for the deutchnet part, it's already been corrected. Deutch is an actual last name, so it's quite possible that it was used for a website, and it's a registered domain name as well.]

Time

In the graduation party scene, when the band starts singing "Scotty Doesn't Know". Just as the main chorus kicks in, Kristin Kreuk starts dancing on stage. The film cuts from a close up to a wide shot of the stage and Kristin is waving her red jacket around and throws it in the crowd. The shot then goes to close up and mysteriously the jacket is back on her again. [No, once she takes off the red jacket and throws it away, she never wears it again.]

Time

"You're supposed to check in 3h before any international flight..." Berlin-Rome flights, not crossing the Schengen border are pretty much considered to be domestic flights (there is no border control on departure). The check-in deadline is 60-90 minutes, depending on the airline. [Character mistake. Many European airlines have their own rules and regulations and a three hour check in time is unusual but not unheard of.]

Time

The first e-mail Scott writes to Meike is in German, the second one he writes in in English. [She speaks both German and English, so he can write it in English if he wants.]

Matt Damon is the lead singer of the band, which is a real band. They wrote "Scotty Doesn't Know" and are really performing it in the movie. This is confirmed on the commentary. [The band is a real band and they are in fact performing in the movie, but Matt Damon is not the band's real lead singer. The voice you hear is NOT Matt's voice, and the band's real name is Lustra.]

When Scotty tries to write back to Micha after she blocked him, he decides that he must go to Germany to find her, since Micha blocked Scott's email address. If Scotty really wanted to reach her, he could have emailed her from another email address. [She could have set up her account to block every email unless the email address is on a list that she allows to email her, in that case any other address would be blocked as well.]

Scott has a photo of Mieke and his/her cousin Jan, not knowing who is who. In German (which Mieke always uses when writing Scott) such mistake isn't possible; there are distinct words for male and female cousin. [Scott's German is horrible. It's pointed out by his brother in the movie that he doesn't even recognize the difference between male and female pronouns. Character mistake, not movie mistake.]

Time

The German maid in Mieke's family is supposed to be deaf but she knows to answer the door when Scott rings the doorbell. [She may be able to feel the vibrations given off by the sound, which would be strong considering doorbells are normally quite loud.]

In the scene when Scotty's dreaming about Mieke, in one shot she is standing in front of the camera wearing only panties and her breasts are round and full. The next shot as she is walking past the camera, from this view she looks pretty flat. [This seems to be more of a female anatomy thing than a mistake. Since breasts have weight to them, they hang. This causes them to look flattish from the side, but can still look pretty full from the front.]

After the Graduation party, Scotty drunkenly urinates on his brother's bathrobe. He then flushes the toilet. He presses a button on top of the toilet to do this, which to my knowledge, can only be done in Europe. [Wrong. My family owns several toilets with a flush-switch on the top. Its purely cosmetic.]

In the train from Crans Sur Mer to Amsterdam Scott is reading printed messages from Mieke. If you look closely, you can notice that all messages has "To" field containing "Lieber Scott" (in German "Dear Scott"), same as "Subject" field. Actually "To" field should be "Scott.Thomas@Scottymail.com"" [If Mike has Scotty's name in her Address Book as "Lieber Scott" (as in a pet name for him) then this will show in the To line of the e-mail.]

Time

After visiting Meike's apartment in Berlin, there is a scene of Scotty describing to Jenny and Cooper about how Meike is in Rome and that she only has twelve hours left there. Jamie then comes back with a load of cash after selling his camera and says 'Meike has 12 hours'. How did he know? He wasn't there when Scotty talked about it. [Scotty could have told Jamie, off-camera. We don't necessarily know how long they were talking about the situation.]

Time

Despite the fact that their passports were stolen, the gang is still able to legally travel to Berlin and Rome. [They could have acquired emergency passports. Plus many European countries have stopped routine passport checks across borders with other EU countries.]

When Jenny calls Fiona a whore, one can tell that it was dubbed over from the less colorful "bitch". [She clearly says "Whore".]

Time

In Mieke's email in which she says she is sorry about Fiona dumping him, Scotty read that "he" (Mieke) is sorry, but originally the mail begins with "I was a sad girl when I heard about Fiona dumping you" - at this point he should know that Mieke is a girl. [First, Scott is very drunk when he first reads this email so his mental state is less than optimal. Second, Scott's German isn't very good (seen when he is speaking to the trucker), so it's entirely possible that he either doesn't understand the pronoun or misinterprets it.]

Time

The email address of Mieke is mieke_schmidt@deutchnet.com - it should be deutschnet.com to be correct. [Deutch is a last name, no reason there couldn't be a such a web address. In fact, both variations have already been registered.]

In Crans Sur Mer, when the naked women are sitting under the monument at the beach, one says in French, "The monument is very moving," and the other one says, "Oui," which means "Yes" but is subtitled with "Let's make out". [It's a joke. The beach at the monument is supposed to represent the boys' fantasies and expectations, in contrast to the one they arrive at.]

When the gang arrives in Crans Sur Mer, Cooper sits down on the bench and says "I'm taking a nap, wake me up when the train gets here." But when he says "wake me up when the train gets here," his mouth doesn't move. [He does move his lips, but you have to look carefully because he mumbles it.]
