Factual error: In the big football scene we see the very short student playing the tuba. The music he is playing requires the use of the valves on the tuba, but his fingers never move. (01:07:55)

1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Ed Decter
Starring: Zooey Deschanel, Eddie Griffin, Eliza Dushku, DJ Qualls, Lyle Lovett, Jerod Mixon
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: During the football game between Rocky Creek and Highland, when Rocky Creek hikes the ball and pinches it back, he is distracted and doesn't catch it. A player from Highland picks it up and runs for the touchdown. When one highland player is hitting a rocky creek player, in the bottom left corner of the screen, you see the ball mysteriously rolling on the ground. Then the next shot shows the same guy who picked up the ball making a touchdown. Two balls for one football game? (01:10:00)
Eddie Griffin: You know, high school's a lot like prison. Bad food, high fences. The sex you want you ain't gettin', and the sex you getting you don't want.
Trivia: Dizzy/Gil (Qualls) is taken to the new school by the police in the van. This scene is identical to the scene in Con-Air when Garland (Steve Buscemi) is taken to the plane.
Question: What was the song being played during the montage showing Highland winning the football games and Gil dancing in jail with Eddie Griffin?
Answer: That's SR-71 covering Gap Band's "Let It Whip."
