Trivia

Actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse was only 17 during the filming of the movie, creating some problems with shooting due to child labor laws. During pre-production, he was not allowed to see certain props or items from the film (such as Seth's phallic drawings), and his sex-scene had to be very carefully monitored and edited, as certain "actions" (such as too much skin, certain types of movements or positions, etc.) would violate the law.

Continuity: When the fake ID is first seen in the movie, the back of the ID is blank white. But later on when it is seen again, the back of the ID has black print all over it.

Continuity: In the shot just before Jules' friend asks, "Can you get us booze?" Seth's collar is folded inwards. In the shot just afterward, it's unfolded, partially obscuring the strap on his bag.

Continuity: In the scene where Evan is getting up from lunch with Seth, the bag of food he has is facing open towards Seth, but a few shots later the open side is facing to the right.

Continuity: When Evan is talking to Becca by the lockers about Jules' party, a black guy with a stripy shirt walks across the scene. As soon as the camera shot changed to Becca's view, the same guy is behind Evan and about to walk past them again.

Deliberate "mistake": When young Becca picks up the drawing that young Seth made, in the first shot, as she flips it over to look at it, you can faintly see the pen-marks through the paper, and they are not the same as in the following close-up shot, when we see the actual drawing. In the first shot, they seem to be a grouping of rectangular shapes, whereas in the second shot, it is obviously a large drawing of a penis. They had to use different pictures due to child labor laws that wouldn't permit the young actress from seeing the actual picture, and so a hand-double was used for the close-up shot.

Continuity: When Seth is dancing with that girl at the party, notice she is holding a bottle of beer. In one of the following shots, if you look closely, she is not holding it, but in the very next shot she is holding the beer bottle again.

Continuity: In the scene where Officers Michael and Slater are arresting Seth and Evan, Officer Slater holds his flashlight pointing off into the trees when he draws his gun. In the very next shot of the two boys, the light from the flashlight is visible on their shirts.

Character mistake: In the scene where Seth is telling his Home Ec teacher why he doesn't like the class, he says, "There's three weeks left of school, gimme a f*ckin break." But, in the beginning of the movie when Seth and Evan drive up to school, the school board reads "Two glorious weeks until graduation." And when Evan is drilling holes into a piece of wood in one of his classes (in the extended version), he says, "Two weeks, f*ck it."

Continuity: In the Home Ec. class, Seth has coco powder on his apron. When talking to Fogell, the amount of powder has decreased significantly.

Continuity: There is a scene where Evan, Seth and Fogell are discussing the list of liquor that Fogell is going to purchase while standing in front of the liquor store. Take notice of Fogell's left long sleeve shirt; it goes from being folded back enough to expose his wristwatch to being neatly folded down within several quick shots.

Continuity: After Seth goes to "rob" the supermarket's liquor, Fogell and Evan are talking about Fogell's TV. However, in the next shot, they seem to be standing in the same position, but in another place completely. The supermarket behind them is no more; there are shadows upon them even though they were standing in the sun the previous shot; the parked vehicles behind them change completely; they stand closer to the parking area; and even the time of day is not the same (from sunset, since it's after school, to midday). Also, Evan points at the off-screen Seth, somewhere on the left side of the screen, yet he should be behind them. Note that it is the same scene.

Continuity: In the Chase scene where Fogel and Seth are running through yards to escape the police, Seth trips over the little kids camping in their backyard and drops the laundry detergent jug, he gets up and jumps over the fence and the jug is still nowhere in sight. However seconds later he is again seen carrying the jug as he runs away.

Continuity: After Evan, Seth and Fogell runs from the two cops, the boys come to a bus stop, with a bus just pulling up to it. Take notice that there are about two passengers on the bus; upon entering the bus, not only has the number of riders increased, but you also see the bum that you should have see in the back of the bus (Fogell encountered earlier) from the previous shot when the bus arrived.

Revealing: When McLovin' is in the car with the police, if you look really closely through the reflection from their glasses, you can see the green screen that is used in movies. When the scene shows the outside of the car, there is nothing around them that would reflect the screen.

Continuity: In the scene right before Seth gets backed into by a car, there's a neon 'open' sign in the store behind him that keeps turning on and off from shot to shot. It changes from 'open' to unlit about 3 times, and you can still see the sign when it's unlit.

Revealing: Seth is seen holding the alcohol-filled detergent containers, waving his arms and saying to Evan, "You bailed on me!" If the containers were truly full, or even half full, they would be too heavy for him to move up and down so easily. They were obviously empty.
