Starsky & Hutch (2004) - 38 mistakes
Directed by Todd Phillips, starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Vince Vaughn, Amy Smart, Carmen Electra, Chris Penn, Juliette Lewis, Fred Williamson (add more)
Factual error: The events of this film take place in June, 1974. But at one point, the boys shoot out the rear window of a 1978-80 AMC Pacer which won't be built until the fall of 1977. While Huggy's '76 Lincoln is also not possible, it's an obvious joke suggesting he has good connections. The Pacer, however, is a clear mistake, as nobody has connections good enough to have a car over three years before it is built.
Revealing: In the scene early in the movie where Starsky is jogging along the beach he is wearing over-sized silver radio headphones. After he turns to wave at some women in bikinis, he falls over and what looks like a couple of batteries fall out of the headphones. Unperturbed, Starsky puts the headphones back on and keeps jogging.
Continuity: It's a great new car Starsky gets at the end, just like his old one...even down to the licence plate, which is 537 0NN, proving the same car's used both times. You see the original's plate when he crouches down while being shot at, and the replacement when it takes that jump right at the start of the credits at the end. Same both times.
Deliberate "mistake": When Reese is looking at Starsky and Hutch's police profiles, his brunette girlfriend says, "Ooh, he's cute, the blonde", referring to Hutch. From the way she says it, it sounds like she's referring to the picture, however you cannot see Hutch's hair in the picture. She had not previously met Starsky and Hutch, either, as it was Resse's blonde wife that was in the room at the time.
