Visible crew/equipment: Before the start of the last basketball game, when Ned calls out, "Jane!" for the third time in the shot facing him as he tries to pass someone, the actors' green T-mark and three other tape marks - one yellow and two red - are visible on the floor ahead of Ned.

Quotes
Ned: It's a classic transformation story. Are you now, or have you ever been, a Norse god, vampire, or time-traveling cyborg?
Mike: I've know you since what, first grade? I think that maybe I would have told you!
Ned: Vampire wouldn't tell. Cyborg wouldn't know.
Trivia
The codename for this film when shipped to theatres was "Rewind." Kinda fitting if you ask me. See more...

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening shot of Ned and Mike in the kitchen, with frozen veggie ice-packs on their assorted injuries, just before it cuts to Ned staring at Mike, the actor's orange tape mark is visible under his feet as he is sitting on the stool. (Visible on DVD fullscreen.)
Continuity: In the shot just after "Mark" tells Scarlet about Alex and the new girlfriend, Nicole (at the victory party), we see Jane's car driving down the block (towards the camera) headed to Ned's home and there are multiple black tire tracks (burned rubber) on the road at the intersection. After a close-up of Jane and Ned in the car discussing 'Halo', it cuts back to the intersection as the teenagers cut them off, and the tire tracks are gone.
Continuity: Before the '89 basketball game begins, Mike is on the court with the cheerleaders and when he pulls off his blue snap warm-up pants he is wearing the grey uniform shorts and jersey. However, after Mike poses in the close-up, he is wearing the blue warm-up pants again in the next shot from behind the cheerleaders - note his jersey number "0", which is visible between the cheerleaders.
Continuity: During Mike's first class (before Maggie walks in), when he is on the cell with Scarlet, who is asking where he is, a cheerleader sits behind Mike and places her left arm up with her hand at her chin and her right arm is down. Next shot, when she asks Mike if he would consider a 10th grader, now it is her right arm that is up and her left arm is down.
Continuity: After the initial meeting with Principal Masterson, when Ned and Mike, in his bedazzled shirt, stand at the top of the stairs talking about how Mike looks, the same teens pass them two shots later.
Continuity: After Ned and Jane arrive at his house, they walk toward the kitchen as he shouts, "Everyboby out!" and in the shot from behind Ned is to Jane's right then moves to her left. However, in the next shot facing them, Ned is once again on Jane's right.
Continuity: At the restaurant, after Ned does his wine tasting, when the waiter pours wine into Jane's glass he holds the bottle in his left hand, as his right hand holds the cloth napkin, then lifts the bottle away from the glass when he is done. Next shot as he still pours wine in Jane's glass, the wine bottle is now in his right hand as he holds the base of the bottle with his left hand.
Visible crew/equipment: When Mike is in the bathroom (before he sees Alex taped up) on the cell with Ned, in Ned's two close-ups the reflection of equipment moving (likely the boom) is visible behind him between his head and feet, as he lies on the couch.
Continuity: Just after "Mark" tells Scarlet about Alex's new girlfriend at the victory party, there's a shot of Jane's blue car (headed to Ned's home) as it nears the intersection, which is a short distance away. It cuts to an interior shot of Jane and Ned in the car discussing 'Halo', and through Jane's open window we see the distance she is driving and the side street view. It then cuts back to the shot of them nearing the intersection and two problems arise: one, in the close-up they drive a far greater distance than they do between the exterior shots, and two, the view outside Jane's window differs as well.
Continuity: When Mike swings his lightsabre and causes Ned to slam backwards onto the floor, Ned drops his own lightsabre with its red glow pointing toward the front door. Next shot the lightsabre is turned the opposite way, with its red glow pointing toward the kitchen.
Continuity: When Mike grabs a lightsabre and shouts, "Ned, Ned, Ned, I'm telling you...stop it!...Now!" his arms are extended out with the lightsabre held aloft, and his tie hangs properly. It cuts to Ned turning on his lightsabre's glow effect, with Mike and his raised lightsabre in the foreground. In the next shot, as Mike's arms are still extended out, his tie is now dangling over his right arm.
Continuity: When Ned is attacking Mike with the sword and then skewers his suit jacket, as soon as Mike fumbles out of the jacket both of his long shirt sleeves (one of the cuffs hangs out of the jacket sleeve) are suddenly folded up on his forearms, between shots. Additionally, the dangling left shirt sleeve cuff repeatedly moves in and out of the suit sleeve, and even after the jacket is discarded the cuff folds up, down, back up and so on.
Continuity: After the 1989 scene is finished, we see adult Mike lying with his head on a pillow in a close-up. In the next shot Mike's head has now moved up higher on the pillow.
Continuity: After Ned and Mike arrive in the courtroom, the judge's nameplate moves from being to the right of the gavel, to being directly in front of it, then back again.
Continuity: When Ned and Mike stop for the "glorified midget wrangler", Glenn's right hand goes to his pants' pocket in the shot facing the Lamborghini, but next shot his right arm is extended for the crossing children. The proximity and position of the kids to one another also changes abruptly between shots.
Continuity: After comforting Maggie when she was crying, when Mike invites her to his party she is standing with her arms down by her sides, but in the next shot when she says, "Yes, I would love to," her arms are instantly crossed in front of her. (Visible on DVD fullscreen.)
Continuity: After Mike and Ned fight with lightsabers, when they are in the kitchen Mike's wedding ring moves from his left hand to his right hand and back again, between shots.
Continuity: When Mike walks into Health class, Mrs. Dell's lectern and stool (upon which the basket of condoms and another basket sit) stand directly in front of the chalkboard, but funny how they are both conveniently gone when Mike knocks Stan to the floor, in front of that chalkboard.
Continuity: On the bridge, when Mike topples into the water headfirst, the distinctive treads on the heels/soles of his shoes, as well as the light colored brand logo on the heels, are visible. After the newly transformed Mike appears at Ned's home wearing the same clothing, when Ned pulls the rug out from under Mike, his shoes' soles are completely different.
