Old School

Other mistake: When 'Blue' is kidnapped he has a walker, but later Blue can be seen comfortably jogging with the new pledges around campus. If he uses a walker, he shouldn't be able to jog so comfortably. (00:35:50 - 00:38:40)

Other mistake: When Mitch arrives to find the house boarded up, a note is attached to the door. However, the voiceover and the note begin differently. The note begins as 'Dear Mitch, the house is boarded up...', but the voiceover starts with 'Dear Mitch, if you're reading this, you already know the house is boarded up...'. (01:08:45)

Other mistake: When Mitch, Frank, and Beanie decide that they are going to have a party they say the party is on a Friday night. When they show the outside of Mitch's house you see the sign for the party and it says the party is on Thursday at 9:00. Then when Frank talks to the guys with the beer bong he says that tomorrow he has a nice Saturday planned. If the sign is right then he would have a pretty nice Friday.

Other mistake: In the movie, Beanie describes Blue as "an old Navy vet," (meaning Veteran) but in the German subtitles, Beanie describes Blue as a Marine Veterinarian (tierartzt). Funny.

Other mistake: All of the license plates show New York, but the palm trees in the background of many scenes remind us that it was of course filmed in California. Either it's set in New York and the palm trees are wrong, or it's set in California and the license plates are wrong.

Suggested correction: The film never says where exactly it takes place and the clues point to a California location rather than a New York one. In the first scene, Mitch is in San Diego for a meeting with his company. He leaves that afternoon and arrives later that night to see his GF involved in the gang bang. He was stuck at the airport for a while due to the metal detector going off on him, and the time it takes to get from San Diego to New York, all the signs point to it being around L.A. or Sacramento where the weather is nice enough to have outdoor parties and swimming pools in November.

Barry, Oral Sex Instructor: The secret to a good BJ is focus. I don't care if we're talking about your husband of 10 years or just some hot sailor you met at TJI Fridays a couple of months ago who never did call me back but did leave me with a little something called herpes... which I then gave to the dog. But that's neither here nor there. Grab your vegetables.

Question: At the end, the Dean has been arrested for bribery. Would the student who exposed him (Wang?) not have been expelled for accepting the bribe and abusing her position and shutting down a frat house?

Chosen answer: No. Because it could be viewed more as extortion than a bribe.
