Other mistake: Soon after Dan Ackroyd makes John Candy translate all the phrases spray-painted on the van into French, you can see them driving on the road and all the spray-paint has gone. Then later in the film it reappears and stays for the rest of the film.

Continuity mistake: When Max is running out of the school after successfully becoming cool. We see his friend with the orange mohawk at least twice. Once hanging from a statue, and another where he's reaching out from a school bus. These two shots are really close together so there is no way that he could have moved that quick.

Audio problem: On the video version, in the barbecue scene, the band starts playing the slow song. The camera is on Eddie and his daughter and they are dancing. If you look closely, the male singer in the background is shown standing on stage and just holding his guitar and not singing, even though the vocals can be heard. In a later shot, he is actually singing. Still later in the scene, he is shown just standing on stage and not singing.
