Trivia

Paul Mitchell actually died in 1989. As an inside joke, the man portraying him when he talks to the Zohan on the phone is his business partner John Paul Dejoria. Dejoria has been the face of the Paul Mitchell company since Paul Mitchell's death, which has caused many people to believe that Dejoria is Paul Mitchell. See more...

Deliberate "mistake": When Zohan and Phantom are seen on the Palestine beach competing about which one is the tougher, they let themselves get bitten by a piranha to prove their point. While piranha are by legend very vicious fish, its presence here is a two-fold mistake, for a) piranhas are found in South America, and b) they are fresh water fish. (I know that this is for pure humour, but the writers should have picked a rabid crab or something; that would be more appropriate for the setting.).

Continuity: When they throw the Neosporin on the window it lands approximately two feet in from the right edge in the shots taken directly from in front of the store. In the in between shot that's taken from an angle, the blob is now right next to the frame of the window above the "Closed" sign instead.

Revealing: When Zohan brings out the pot of Hummus to put out the fire, a black hose can be seen in the background running into the pot from the right side of the screen that wasn't attached to it when it was brought out.
