Other mistake: In the scene where you first see Tracy in class, one of the boys speaks and the subtitles reads," Ms. Whimsy, I can't see the board again." When Tracy says it, the subtitle reads Wimsey.

1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Adam Shankman
Starring: John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Nikki Blonsky
Continuity mistake: When Tracy is running away from the police, there is a shot of her pushing through the crowd until she is free, but the next bird's-eye shot shows her pushing through the marchers all over again. (01:19:55)
Edna: Don't worry. He'll figure out some day that he's crazy 'bout you.
Tracy: You have to say that. You're my mother.
Edna: Well, I know a little something about men.
Trivia: Jerry Stiller, who plays Mr. Pinky, played Wilbur Turnblad in the 1988 version of Hairspray.
Question: At the end, right at the beginning of the song "Hairspray" at the pageant, Amber turns to Link and whispers, "Look, there's the agents" and it cuts to a few suit-wearing people with clipboards. My mom and I noticed that one of the women among them looked like Ricki Lake. Is it her, in a cameo? It would seem to make sense since she was in the original movie.
