Continuity: During Gil and Karen’s discussion regarding the upcoming meeting with the principal, when Gil says, “Y’know that really pisses me off. The kid’s a little different…” things on the closet shelf noticeably change between shots.

Continuity: When Kevin sings the delightful diarrhea song in the van, Taylor holds the burger in her left hand, as she chews on the hoodie string held in her right hand. Next shot, she eats the burger held in her right hand.

Continuity: On the drive home from the baseball game, as Kevin sings the diarrhea song, Karen wears the seatbelt, then does not as it pans from the back to front seat, and does again in the next close-up.

Continuity: The "lower intestines" made from balloons changes shape and color between shots.

Factual error: In the opening scene at the baseball game, the announcer thanks the crowd for coming to see the St. Louis Cardinals. The fans are sitting in yellow seats, but all of the seats in Busch Stadium in St. Louis are red.

Revealing: In the parking lot of what is supposed to be Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, all the cars have Florida license plates.  This happened because Ron Howard shot much of the film in Florida, not in St. Louis, Missouri.

Factual error: When Julie and Tod pick up the photographs from the photo booth, there is a Publix Market in the lot behind them. There has never been a Publix in Missouri. The film was shot on location in the Orlando/Kissimmee area.

Continuity: When Kevin finds out that Cowboy Dan is not coming, in the shot from the front his hat’s chin string is behind his shoulders, but in shots from behind, the string is under Kevin’s chin.
