Step Brothers (2008) - 33 mistakes

Continuity: Near the start when Nancy and Robert first meet and are undressing themselves, Robert removes his jacket in a wideshot and his shirt and tie are still on. But in the next closeup the tie has vanished and he is suddenly unbuttoning his shirt.

Continuity: After arriving to the new house, Brennen is seen in the car as Nancy and Robert talk to the neighbor (Don). Brennen's Arm is seen up holding the handle on the interior of the car near the window then down between each shot.

Continuity: When Brennan and Dale first meet and they are standing on the front lawn and they tell each other that they have to be called a certain nickname, when the camera is zoomed back, it shows them really far apart from each other. But when it shows from Brennan's or Dale's point of view, they are closer together.

Continuity: When Brennan and Dale first meet on the front lawn, they stand and stare at each other for a while. With every shot change, it continues to change from either being sunny or shadowy in the spot where Brennan stands.

Continuity: In the scene of the step brothers' first dinner together, Will Farell can be seen picking up a French fry, but in the next shot he is holding a half eaten chicken nugget.

Continuity: The bottle of ketchup in the dinner table scene, early in the movie, alternates from right side up to upside down, from shot to shot.

Continuity: After the first dinner scene with the family, Dale finally decides to leave and head upstairs. He places his napkin down next to his plate. In the next shot it has vanished. It then reappears a few shots later.

Visible crew/equipment: When we see Nancy, Robert, Dale and Brennan on the boat, as the camera pans past Robert and Nancy, you can see the camera reflected in the shiny post of the boats wheel.

Continuity: When Dale is questioning Brennan as to why he is sweaty, and again when he comes downstairs after examining his drum kit, the remote control Brennan has swaps which hand it is in a few times and his hands keep switching their position too.

Continuity: When Dale and Brennan are fighting over the drum kit, Brennan throws Dale into the gong and it falls over. In the next shot it is standing again.

Continuity: When Nancy and Robert are yelling at Brennan and Dale for fighting in the front garden the food (green beans) on the plate and the can of Pepsi in front of Dale keep on moving between shots.

Continuity: After Nancy and Robert ban TV for a week, Brennan throws the ice pack he was holding on the ground. The camera then cuts to Robert, and when it cuts back to Brennan again just a few seconds later, he has the ice pack again and does the exact same action as before.

Continuity: When Nancy and Robert find the kitchen in a mess, after Brennan and Dale's sleepwalking episode, the mess on the floor and counter differs between shots.

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the singing car scene, when the range rover swerves around oncoming traffic, you can see a police officer stopping civilian traffic in the background of the shot.

Continuity: In the dinner scene where Derek is over, he is telling a story to Robert about fishing. During the whole scene if you watch Alice who is sitting beside Derek, her wine glass repeatedly jumps from her hands to back on the table instantly.

Continuity: When Brennan and Dale are in the tree house and Derek comes up to talk to them, the soda can over Derek's shoulder moves around between shots.

Continuity: When Brennan and Dale are in the tree house and Brennan's brother comes up, Brennan has a magazine in his hand, and each time the shot changes, he doesn't. It alternates between the two.

Continuity: When the school bullies walk over to Dale and Brennan, the field goes from being bathed in sun to completely shaded over.

Visible crew/equipment: After their argument in the car (after Brennan and Dale have shown their presentation), Robert rushes into the house. As the camera moves backwards, you can see a crew member reflected in the mirror on the wall.

Continuity: In the christmas scene where they are decorating the tree, we see Robert eating a christmas-tree shaped biscuit. When he gets up, the biscuit is suddenly larger and more whole than before, where it was almost finished.
