The Waterboy picture

Other mistake: When Bobby recovers the onside kick, he recovered it on the 43-yard line, which is where the ball is spotted (the scoreboard even shows this). However, there was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with the late tackle (and a flag was thrown so we know the ref didn't miss the penalty) so the ball should have been spotted on the 28-yard line. (And there's no question there were no off-setting penalties).

Blades of Glory picture

Other mistake: In the scene in the beginning when Chazz Michael Michaels is being introduced, there is a brief shot where Chazz is alone skating in the same storage where, much later in the movie, Jimmy and Chazz practice for the World Wintersport Championship.

The Replacements picture

Other mistake: When Orlando Jones uses the stickup for his hands, in the next play his hands are very clean, and if you have ever used it, you know what I am saying.

Rollerball picture

Other mistake: In the scene after Jonathan and Aurora have sex in the gym, Jonathan gets on the company plane. You'll notice that he grows a massive beard overnight. Then, in the next scene, it's semi-shaved.

Rudy picture

Other mistake: Rudy continually checks the roster to see if he made the dress list. The captain of the team is Roland Steele; the first one to visit the coach about giving up his jersey for Rudy. Every time Rudy looks at the list he scans past the last names for "S" where you should see Steele, Roland. Steele doesn't appear on the dress list yet he dresses every game. Stock, J. (Capt.) appears on the list, so Steele should too.

Major League II picture

Other mistake: During the newspaper montage, all the articles consist of the same few paragraphs repeated, even in stories that are supposed to be days apart, and none of them have anything to do with baseball.

The Longest Yard picture

Other mistake: At the start when Crewe's girlfriend says "don't you take my Maserati" Crewe says he has earned it. He then goes out and gets in a Citroen, not a Maserati. Also, a Citroen front license plate appears on the car shortly afterwards which wasn't there before. (00:03:57)

Suggested correction: The Citroen SM model has a Maserati engine.

That doesn't make it a Maserati. Citroën bought Maserati in 1968, but their badge determined the brand, not what engine was in it. A lot of car companies are owned by other car companies to have multiple divisions in their lineup. If someone has a Toyota and called it a Lexus, they'd be wrong, just like it's wrong in this case.

Stroker Ace picture

Other mistake: At the beginning of the film, the car with three wheels enters into the car park of the race track. You can see where the brake disc has gouged out the tarmac on an earlier take.

Grudge Match picture

Other mistake: Originally when BJ introduces himself to Kid, he acts as if he can't recognize him. However, later on Kid gives BJ a scrapbook showing he has followed him all these years and would definitely know what he looks like.

The Babe picture

Other mistake: Early on, the Babe is seen showing up late at a game in Boston, staggering hung-over to the plate, and hitting a home run. But this was a home game; it would have been the bottom of the first, and if Ruth hadn't been there by game time, some other player would already be playing in his place.

Suggested correction: By the time Babe Ruth played, substitutions were allowed at anytime. Thus, when Ruth showed up late and batted in the bottom of the 1st, he became a substitution for whomever was playing his position during the top of the 1st.

Bishop73

The manager tells the guy who is about to go up to bat to sit down because Babe's here. So Ruth would be pinch-hitting.

Goon picture

Other mistake: During the montage for Ross Rhea, there's a clip on the teleprompter showing Ross fighting multiple members of the other team. In the clip, Ross is shown playing for the St. John's Shamrocks and fighting members of the Québec team, but the score ticker at the top of the screen shows the score "MTL 5 BOS 2", two teams in another league that have nothing to do with the game being played. (01:01:10)

Boogie picture

Other mistake: "Boogie" was a HS student who didn't work and lived with his financially strained (heavily in debt) parents. The Chin family was receiving past-due notices for various bills. The IRS also sent a letter of intent to levy or seize their property if they did not immediately pay $4,513.29. But Boogie had money to buy marijuana, go out to dinner with his girlfriend, go to a gym, and visit a fortune teller - each multiple times. His mother also ate out and saw a fortune teller. With what money? (00:10:20 - 00:28:57)
