Jackass: The Movie

Revealing mistake: In the scene in which Ryan Dunn jumps into cacti with his BMX bike Preston Lacy is supposedly yanked off of his couch by the momentum of Ryan's jump. However, if you look closely in the background it is obvious that Preston Lacy hardly moves at all from Ryan's jump and the effect was edited in later. [In reality, Dunn barely even movied Lacy. The crew reshot it and pulled Preston off the couch by hand.]

Revealing mistake: Now it is said by Dunn that at the end, when Dunn craps out the toy car, it is shown again in the credits, but is put in reverse so the shot looks like it was filmed at a different angle.

Continuity mistake: In the opening credits, the guys are standing full depth in the giant shopping cart. When they get to the bottom, the cart most noticeably has a platform halfway down that the guys are standing on when they get thrown out. [It is mentioned on the cast commentary (by Bam) that they needed to raise it up because they were afraid of jumping out from so low down in the trolley. Still a mistake, but that's why it's there.]
