Mistake Continuity: During the scene where the kids are saying their version of the Pledge of Allegiance, the camera zooms in on a blonde girl. From shot to shot, which hand she has over her heart changes.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Dewey is writing his name on the board, he begins writing and then erases the end to leave "Mr. S". In the next shot that shows the board, it still says "Mr. S" but it is in different writing.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Dewey and Ms. Mullins are in the bar, the shots from behind Ms. Mullins sitting down show that her left hand is on the table. However, the shots showing the front of Ms. Mullins show her arms folded.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: In the classroom scene just prior to the naming of the band, Dewey is seated with his feet on his desk playing his guitar. The two girls approach him with the SOR T-shirt. From their perspective (front) there is nothing near Dewey's feet, but when the view switches to Dewey's perspective, the rabbit on the desk is now only an inch or so from his foot. In the wide shot the rabbit is nearly a foot away. (Time)

Edit

Mistake Audio problem: Right before Dewey walks into the classroom for the first time, he tells the principal, "check." The shot changes to behind Dewey's head and we can see him saying "check" again.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: As Ms. Mullins says, "You know, it's more complicated than that" she brings her right hand up above her shoulders, but in the next shot, her hand is lower. (Time) Submitted by Blibbetyblip

Edit

Mistake Factual error: At the "Battle of the Bands" scene, the kids arrive and have less than the length of one song to get ready to go on stage. (We see the band up on stage and hear the Battle of the Bands person tell the kids they're going on after that band.) Yet, when they get up on stage, they've got outfits, hair, makeup - including fancy braids and spikes - that just plain couldn't have been thrown together in five minutes.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Watch the top of her handle of Ms. Mullins' beer before she takes first sip. The level is high. Then look at the glass handle after Dewey gets up. The level is even lower but she never drank any more. (Time)

Edit

Mistake Audio problem: After Dewey and Miss Mullins go to the bar, Dewey is heard singing and snapping his fingers as he drives. However, you can see through the windshield that both of his hands are on the steering wheel and he is not snapping his fingers.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Dewey tells the class that he is going to be singing and playing guitar, "braceface" says something like "Why are you in the band?" and the shot is of her back with her right arm behind her chair, but when the shot changes so you see the front of her, her arm is in front of her chair on the desk. This happens several times. (Time)

Edit

Mistake Continuity: At the title sequence, after Dewey's solo, and just before he stage-dives, the camera cuts from him, to the lead guitarist, then back to him. In the first shot of him, he is just putting down his guitar. In the shot of the lead guitarist, the neck of the guitar is visible as if he was still holding and playing it, but when it cuts back to Dewey, the guitar has been put down, and Dewey has his shirt off.

Edit

Mistake Audio problem: Right after the part where the principal and Dewey are having a few beers they are coming home. Dewey starts singing and snapping but, if you look in the car while they are driving into the parking lot, you can see that he is neither snapping nor singing.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Billy gives Dewey the paper bag with his clothes in it, towards the end of the film, the way the bag is folded at the top changes between shots.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning when Dewey gets kicked out of the band, he picks up his guitar case and raises it above his head. In the very next shot, from behind, the guitar case is suddenly down by his side. (Time)

Edit

Mistake Factual error: In the scene where Dewey is getting the class to jam on "Smoke on the Water" for the first time, he tells the girl bass player to play a G, but he shows the guitar player the chords to the song in the key of A. The chords do not match the bass line. A real guitar player who has played this song would not make this mistake.

Edit

Mistake Other: In the scene were the kids come in the class for the first time and see Dewey with music instruments, keep an eye on Zack the guitar kid. Just before Dewey says "you", Zack looked directly at the camera.
