Tropic Thunder (2008) - 10 mistakes

Factual error: Pandas do not roam in Southeast Asian jungles.

Continuity: When Jeff Portnoy is tied to the tree, he changes from having trousers to having just Y-fronts on several times. Usually happens between shots of the group and shots of just him.

Continuity: When Tugg is in his room after giving his "Simple Jack" performance for the Vietnamese, he splashes water on his face to remove his make-up. Cut camera angle to him looking up when his friends burst in, and his face is completely dry.

Continuity: When Speedmen is by himself in the rain, he puts down the I-pod and picks up the crap stick with the cap on. The next shot, the cap is off.

Continuity: When Kirk Lazarus tricks Tugg Speedman into giving him the map, in one shot one of the shotgun shells on his back in his artillery belt is out of place and not lined up with the rest of them. In the very next shot, all the shotgun shells are lined up and in place evenly.

Continuity: In one scene where Tugg Speedman is talking to Kirk Lazarus, Tugg Speedman uniform has a large metal caribiner on his right shoulder. In between shots of him talking to Kirk Lazarus, the caribiner switches orientation from facing left to facing right to left again.

Continuity: When Tugg Speedman leaves the team, when he is climbing a hill his rifle is on his back, but in the next shot he is holding the rifle while climbing.

Deliberate "mistake": In the scene when Grossman answers the call from the Flaming Dragons, they simply push the send button and the phone goes straight to speaker phone. On this model Blackberry, you have to push two more buttons after the send button to get to speaker phone.

Continuity: In some of the earlier shots from inside the drug maker's camp, you can see a set of high-tension power lines running across the sky, but in the establishing shots, it's only jungle.

Continuity: When the actors (minus Tugg Speedman) have set up camp for the night, close up shots of Kirk Lazarus show him petting the water buffalo, while all other shots show the water buffalo completely out of arm's length. Lazarus does not move around in this scene to make this possible.
