Continuity mistake: When Zoolander, Hansel and Matilda are drinking the tea near the end of the movie, the "steam" in Zoolander's cup keeps on changing to from overflowing the cup, to half way down and none. This is without ever refilling his cup. He can even be seen blowing some of the steam out and next thing it's full again. (00:58:00)

1/10. I only go this high with Stiller because he irritates me less than Kevin James. Still Zoolander is bad comedy with exception of Milla Jovovich who seems to be trying with this bad script.
Improves on repeated watching.then eventually becomes a little mediocre again. When I first watched it I didn't find it particularly funny, but it didn't put me off rewatching it again, and each time I found the lines burrowing into my brain more - What is this, a school for ants?.Magnum! etc. It helps that most people my age know the film in this way too and so referencing it is a source of fun in itself.
Eventually though there isn't much more to be got out of rewatching it and it becomes less funny again. But the quotes live on amongst friends.
More mistakes in Zoolander
Hansel: So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realise "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?"
Derek Zoolander: And?
Hansel: And it was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius.
Trivia: When Derek confronts Maury, right before he does the Derelict show, the scene is a parody of the The Godfather: Part II scene where Michael Corleone confronts his brother Fredo, who had betrayed him.
Question: Where is that stream of water coming from on the lower left of the screen, when Matilda is on the ground from being thrown out of the spa?
Answer: It was raining and it was that water from before just running down the semi-sloped road.
