Blades of Glory (2007) - 19 mistakes

Continuity: When Chazz Michael Michaels goes to Katie Van Waldenberg to "comfort" each other Chazz leaves the door slightly open. Then it has a shot of Katie then back to Chazz and the door is completely closed. Then right before Jimmy walks in it shows a shot of Chazz and the door and it is slightly open again.

Continuity: When Stranz Van Waldenberg is chasing Chazz, the latter slides under a pipe, followed by Stranz, who leans backwards. We are shown a close-up of Stranz standing up and continuing skating, at which point the camera cuts to a close-up of Chazz and Stranz can be seen standing up for a second time in the background.

Factual error: At ~9:53 into the movie, we see the newspaper with "Sunday, March 14, 1987". March 14, 1987 was a Saturday, not a Sunday.

Continuity: In the scene where Chazz and Jimmy are talking about Chazz's shampoo, Mane & Tail, Jimmy puts the bottle on top of the bed post. When Jimmy turns away, the bottle is gone. Immediately before he turns, the top of the bottle was visible.

Continuity: As the coach speaks with Jimmy in the juice bar, you'll see the same two guys walk past him twice, the second one having a beard.

Continuity: When Will Ferrell's character is hit on the forehead, we see an obvious bruise on it. There is a real quick scene where the bruise is gone, and then in the next scene, it's back.

Continuity: In the opening scene, when McElroy is skating as an orphan, the close up shots of the ice McElroy is on shows 3 boys sitting next to the nuns. On the far away shots showing the entire area the nuns are standing alone.

Continuity: When Hector is talking to Jimmy in the 'Has-Ban' Skating Blade Store, look at the UGG box that Jimmy opens. When it shows both Hector and Jimmy it's open, but when it shows Jimmy on his own, it's shut, and then when it shows Hector, it's open again.

Visible crew/equipment: When Chazz and Jimmy are in the house a crew member is reflected on the glass window.

Continuity: Will Arnet's character pulls off his gold tooth during the first routine, and seems to toss it to the side. But while he's talking after the performance is over, it's back on.

Visible crew/equipment: When Jimmy and Chazz are talking about their song during dinner you can see a crew member reflected on the exercise Bike.

Continuity: When Chazz is hit on the head with the weird pipe thingy, it keeps on changing position on the head between shots.

Other: In the scene in the beginning when Chazz Michael Michaels is being introduced, there is a brief shot where Chazz is alone skating in the same storage where, much later in the movie, Jimmy and Chazz practice for the World Wintersport Championship.

Continuity: In the final skating scene where Will and Jon are talking about how Will hurt his ankle and about how they are going to switch spots for the head-slicing move, Will's belt has come undone, and you can see the velcro used to hold it on. Then in the next shot, it is back on with no time to fix it.

Revealing: In the scene where Will and John are doing their final skate and Will breaks his ankle and they have to switch position in the final routine, they are skating around getting ready to do it and Will lifts up his broken ankle so John can grab it. When he grabs the broken ankle, Will shows no sign of pain, but earlier when he tried to skate on it, he screamed in pain.

Factual error: The accident that killed the VanWaldenberg's parents was said to have taken place in 1987. In the TV news footage from the accident scene, the police cars had a distinctive body style not introduced until 1991.

Factual error: Whenever a gold medal is shared in any competition, there is no silver medal awarded, just two golds and a bronze. But we see four winners in the opening scene - 2 golds, a silver and a bronze.

Continuity: When McElroy's father is disowning him in the limo, watch the trees pass by outside as the father speaks. Almost every time they cut back to him you'll see the same scenery passing by.

Factual error: When Coach is watching Chazz and Jimmy fighting backstage of the kid show, on the news, Coach rewinds the fight several times with TiVo. When he rewinds it, you can here the sound playing reversed. When you rewind TiVo, you don't hear any sound at all.
