Varsity Blues

Factual error: Right after Lance gets hurt and Mox replaces him Mox's first play is a 40 yard pass for a first down after which everyone starts yelling he needs to stop the clock and the camera shows the clock moving. The problem is that in high school football the clock stops on first downs while they reset the chains so the clock should have stopped running until the first down markers were moved and the ref set the ball.

Factual error: In the game against Gilroy, Gilroy would be penalized quite a few times for their bench being on the field.

Factual error: District Titles are mentioned numerous times, but when Coach Kilmer is leaving the locker room at halftime of the last game all of the banners say "Division Title" which is not an award in Texas HS football.

Factual error: In the final game for the district title, the opposing team would have had several penalties called on them for unsportsman like conduct for the breakdancing moves in the endzone, and all the other dancing the team did.

Factual error: Right after Tweeder scores the first TD in the second half against Gilroy, it shows one of the Gilroy players on the bench take off his helmet while on the field and throw it down. This should be an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty as well as a too many men on the field penalty against them. (01:33:00)

Continuity mistake: In the whipped cream bikini scene, when Mox pulls back from kissing the cheerleader he has whipped cream on his shirt. In the next shot it's not there.

Question: When the boys leave the landing strip, it is 7:00 am. The game presumably starts at 7:00 pm. Couldn't they have just taken aspirin and drunk plenty of water throughout the day to relieve their hangovers prior to the game?

Answer: Depending on quite how much you drink, it can take several days to fully recover from a hangover. In addition, they have not slept, which is dulling their reaction times, and at least Billy Bob is suffering from intestinal problems because of the hangover.
