The Fanatic
The Fanatic mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Leah asks Moose if he brought the cutters, so he looks in his bag then hands Leah scissors. In the shots facing Leah she holds up the scissors by its handles, but in the shots facing Moose she holds up the scissors by its pointy end. (00:10:20)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Moose is sitting at a desk writing a letter to Mr. Dunbar in a spiral bound notebook. There is a magazine to the right of the notebook with about the same width. After a couple quick camera shifts, the notebook is suddenly stacked on top of a few magazines and whatever Moose is writing on is obstructed by the stack. After a couple more quick camera shifts, the notebook is back in front of Moose, and he tears out the page he was writing on. (00:25:55)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: The five dollar bill that was tossed toward Todd's bucket but landed on the rim and hung over the side was obviously fake (not legal tender). (00:18:20)

Trivia: The scene where Devon Sawa talks about Limp Bizkit was not scripted. He was doing some improv and did a whole bit about how much he likes the band as a joke and a nod to director Fred Durst, who is the lead singer of the band. Sawa and Durst didn't intend for the take to be used in the finished film. However, when it was picked up for distribution, the studio had the film slightly recut and decided to use the take, slightly embarrassing the two.
