Factual error: Cadence arrives for the wedding on a 727. Closer examination of the aircraft's livery reveals it is a Kitty Hawk Airlines aircraft. This would be fine were Cadence air freight, as Kitty Hawk is a cargo airline. (00:28:40)

Audio problem: In the bachelor party scene, when Michelle's dad notices the "mud" (chocolate topping) he says, "We are going to need a mop." Then Michelle's mother says, "I saw it in this closet" except that her mouth does not match up with the audio (it looks like she says "It's in here." (00:51:50)

Audio problem: When Stifler is talking to Finch about how he is going to get with Cadence and does the nipple milking impression, during a good portion of the shot that is shooting over Stifler's shoulder to show Finch's face when Stifler is talking, watch Stifler's lips from the side: you can see they are moving out of sync with what we hear, it was obviously changed and dubbed over. (01:12:10)

Visible crew/equipment: Right before the wedding Michelle is talking to Jim's father about her vows. Behind them on a table there is a mirror and you can see the arm of a crew member reflected in it several times. (01:21:35)

Continuity mistake: When Stifler drives to the flower shop to get new roses, he sees the shop, slows the car, and comes to a stop while viewed from the side. The next shot is a frontal view of him sitting in the car green-screened, and all is good except that the car is moving again. The following shot then has a side view of the vehicle at a full stop. (01:29:00)

Audio problem: When Stifler is driving his car away after he wrecked the flowers, he says, "Fu**ers, it's not my fault," but it's visible through the window that he's not saying anything.

Stifler: Motherfucker.
Finch: [Grinning.] Yes I am.

More trivia for American Wedding

Question: What was the original message on the cake before Stifler showed up and changed it to "Congratulations Jism"?

Answer: It said "Congratulations Jim", and he moved the "s" into "Jim", so it then actually said "Congratulaion Jism" (note, no "s" on the first word).
