Without a Paddle (2004) - 34 mistakes

Visible crew/equipment: When Billy drives away you can see the boom mike operator reflected in the side window of the car.

Continuity: When Tom arrives at Billy's funeral, he takes the goggles off and holds them in his left hand. But, when Tom is walking to where Jerry and Dan are his goggles are not in either hand.

Continuity: In the scene where Tom, Jerry and Dan go into the tree house after the funeral, it is dark and they have flashlights. Then a second later it is light outside.

Continuity: When the three friends are going through their DB Cooper treasure box, Jerry picks up Dan's C-3PO collectible. Just as he picks it up, a split second later from another angle, he is holding C-3PO differently and C-3PO is also at a different angle.

Continuity: While up in the Fort Cooper tree house, after the three friends get their treasured possessions back, Dan reaches down to pick up a mix tape with the DJ intros on it. When he picks it up, C-3PO is still in his right hand, but from a different angle C-3PO is not in his hand with the mix tape. There is not enough time for him to put C-3PO down. Then after Jerry unfolds the map, Dan doesn't have the mix tape in his hands.

Revealing: After Billy's funeral when the guys are in their old tree house and they're opening up the box with their valuables in it they ask for the combination, but you can clearly see that the lock is not shut/latched, there is no reason to open it.

Other: After the funeral, the guys visit the clubhouse. They open the box for DB Cooper's treasure. The blood they used to sign their blood oath is too red to have been 20 year old blood. It should have darkened to deep, deep purple or brown by now.

Other: As 2 of the trio are in the store just before meeting the cop, one is on his cell phone. In one of the frontal shots of him talking, you can see the other two approach from behind then suddenly back up quickly. As said on the commentary, they didn't get a cue to go, and then realized they were wrong and backed up.

Visible crew/equipment: In the shot of the three guys urinating, look at their backs. The one on the far left has a visible battery pack, which "looks like a lunch box" as said on the commentary.

Factual error: Right after the water fight on the first day of canoeing, you can see some kind of palm trees in the background. We also see some when the guys are climbing up the hill right before they find the girls in the tree. There are no palm trees in the wilds of Oregon.

Continuity: When Matthew Lillard is talking about not having responsibility and that surfing is what he loves while the guys are by the camp fire, his sweat jacket is unzipped in one shot as he lays back. The next shot it is zipped up completely. After he stands up the zipper is now unzipped halfway down his sweat jacket.

Continuity: After the canoe overturns and one of the trio gets on and surfs on it, watch his blue shirt as it is wet, to dry, to wet, throughout the rest of the river run.

Revealing: Briefly, while Seth Green was being pulled from the river, you can see that the rope behind him is taut, nearly perpendicular to the current. He was pulling himself across a rope that was anchored on both sides.

Continuity: The 3 guys have just gone through some heavy rapids. As the rapids slowed two of them are on top of the canoe. They call out for Tom and then again for Tommy. Between the two call outs the shot changes. In the first shot the river is still flowing swiftly. During the next shot when Tommy is called and found under the canoe, the river is at a stand still. This scene was filmed in 2 different parts of the river.

Continuity: When Tom, Dana, and Jerry go over the waterfall, the canoe breaks apart into three pieces upon hitting the bottom; the next scene, when they are on land, the canoe is in a multitude of pieces.

Continuity: In the pot shack scene Dax Shepard is holding the package of pot to his side, you see him slowly move it behind his back to hide it from the two hillbillies. In the next scene, after they flash back from the hillbillies, it's back at his side and he's once again slowly moving it to his back. Shepard, and the other cast, admit this is a mistake in the commentary.

Visible crew/equipment: While in the pot field, just as the growers are about to shoot them with the laser sights, you can see a crewmember crawling by in the background.

Continuity: After the two hillbillies return to their burned-out field of pot, you can see them stepping on lots of burned tree branches thicker and longer than anything that could have come from one of the plants. What are tree branches doing in a clearing?

Continuity: When the guys are in the tree house right after Dan tells the girls about using the pussy willow reeds you can see Tom just about to take a drink from a canteen, then maybe a second later in the very next shot it shows Jerry taking the canteen from Dan and passing it on around the circle.

Other: When they're with the women in the redwood, the one says that she's "all natural" and shows her hairy legs. Later they are both dancing around with their arms over their heads and their armpits aren't hairy. If they were "all natural" they wouldn't shave their pits either.
